Amit Shah’s first visit to Kashmir since Article 370 abrogation | What it means

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be visiting Kashmir Valley for the first time since the abrogation of Article 370.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will spend three days in Jammu and Kashmir beginning Saturday. His Kashmir visit comes as part of the Narendra Modi government’s outreach programme under which Union ministers are travelling to the region.

This is Amit Shah’s first visit to the Kashmir Valley since August 2019 when he brought a resolution to cease operation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, and a reorganisation bill that bifurcated the erstwhile state into two Union Territories — Ladakh being the other.
