Bihar CM Nitish Kumar falls in line, says abide by the law of the land
Articles 35A & 370 gone, state bifurcated

Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 10: Things are changing. And it's a positive sign. The critics of the Narendra Modi Government's policy towards Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are turning its supporters. They are appreciating the abrogation of the state's special status and creation of two Union Territories out of the state, UT of Jammu and Kashmir and UT of Ladakh. On August 8, former J&K Sadar-e-Riyasat and senior Congress leader Karan Singh and his son Vikramaditya Singh had defied the party's line and supported the moves of the Narendra Modi Government to create UT of Ladakh and UT of Jammu and Kashmir, empower J&K women, refugees, Valmiki Samaj, Gorkhas and Marathas and delimit assembly constitutions in the newly-created UT of Jammu and Kashmir on the basis of the laid down criteria.
While Karan Singh had claimed that there were many good things in what the Central Government did to alter the political map of the state and do away with the state's separate status, his son Vikramaditya, who had lost the Lok Sabha election from the Kathgua-Udhampur-Doda constituency, claimed that the complete integration of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh into the Indian Union will mean the beginning of a new era. He had said that the minorities in the state would now have equal rights and both the UTs would witness developmental activities.
Both Karan Singh and his son had taken a stand against the party line the day another senior Congress leader and former J&K CM Ghulam Nabi Azad had lambasted the Narendra Modi Government and said that the BJP had "mercilessly massacred J&K State" and reduced it to the status of UT, diluted Article 370 and scrapped Article 35A. That day, the authorities in Kashmir had not allowed Azad to venture out of the Srinagar Airport and sent him back to New Delhi.
It's only Karan Singh and his son Vikramaditya Singh, who finally supported the Narendra Modi Government's decisions. The other day, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, whose JDU had not supported the Government's moves in the Parliament, softened his stand. After opposing the Centre's resolution to revoke provisions of Articles 370 and a bill to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir, the JDU struck a reconciliatory note and said that the law that had come into force should be abided by all. National general secretary of the Janata Dal (United), Ram Chandra Prasad Singh, said: "The party does not wish to engage in further ideological sparring".
"The law that has come into force with the passing of the bill in Parliament is the law of the land. It should be abided by all. Our differences with the BJP on this issue have always been known and we registered our protest in the Rajya Sabha," Singh, also the JDU leader in the Rajya Sabha, said at Patna.
"Our ideological differences will have no bearing on the NDA in Bihar. The coalition is intact and we are looking forward to contesting the state assembly elections together next year," Singh also said.
