With unprecedented speed - from Monday, August 5, to Friday, August 9, - RSS-led BJP government at the Centre amended the Constitution of India, dissolved and dismantled the State of Jammu & Kashmir and brought its entire geographical territory and 1.25 crore population (2011 census) under its direct control.
As a first step, on August 5, bypassing the Parliament and the people of Jammu & Kashmir; the Union Ministry of Law & Justice issued Government’s order - “The Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 2019” - making “All the provisions of the Constitution, as amended from time to time, shall apply in relation to the State of Jammu & Kashmir etc”, thereby, ending the special provision under Art. 370.
