abrogation

Earlier this month, assembly elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time since the abrogation.

So the party's decision not to field any candidates in the ongoing general election - the first in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 - has come as a surprise to many.

Moscow calls that an abrogation of previous British assurances to the contrary.

The petitioners said that the abrogation of Article 370 also took away the region's internal sovereignty without considering the will of its people.

“This constitutional framework provided a mechanism to be part of the Indian union. The abrogation was a betrayal and an assault on our identity,” he said.
