"Justice, social, economic and political;
Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship:
Equality of status and of opportunity:
and to promote among them all
Fraternity..."

#Article370

@[email protected] @[email protected] Article 147 of the J&K Constitution limited amendments to Article 3 and 5. Any amendment of #Article370 of the Indian Constitution was out of the scope of the Parliament.

On this basis, Ramachandran argues, Parliament never had the power to recommend cessation of #Article370.

The recommendation they passed to enable CO 273, was "undemocratic for want of the will of the people and for want of public reason."
