Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday announced that the government scrapped the special status granted to the state of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, and India’s sportspersons welcomed the decision.
The central government further ordered the division of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. While the Union Territory of Ladakh will be without a legislature, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will be with a legislature.
Here is how the sporting fraternity reacted to the news:
Here’s to more inclusiveness. May there be peace and love. #Article370

The scrapping of #Article370 is certainly a good and bold move. Loss of lives and uncertainty in the valley has to be addressed someday. #JammuAndKashmir @AmitShah @BJP4India
