He said: An emergency meeting was held at JNU at midnight. Abrogation of Article 370 was strongly condemned. Azaadi slogans were raised. “Bharat tere tukde honge” was the preferred chant. Having achieved Azaadi of Kashmir & the dismemberment of India by 2 am, they went back to sleep.

Article 370 scrapped

Along with the J&K (Reorganisation) Bill 2019, Home Minister Amit Shah proposed to repeal Article 370, that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, in the Rajya Sabha. President Ram Nath Kovind exercised his power under Clause 1 of Article 370 to scrap Article 370. With the order, Article 35A, which provided special privileges to “permanent residents" of the state has also been scrapped. Now, people from outside the state can buy property in the state. Earlier, the Article exempted the 'state' of Jammu and Kashmir from following the Indian Constitution except for Article 1 and itself. It also restricted Parliament's legislative powers in the 'state'.
