The central government has argued in the Supreme Court that Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was a temporary provision that has been rectified by its abrogation. The government stated that the Constitution of India holds a higher position than that of J&K Constitution, which has now been repealed. It defended the abrogation, stating that it has brought the people of Jammu and Kashmir on par with the rest of India and has resulted in investments and resumed tourism. The hearing will continue on Tuesday.
