Jammu and Kashmir has been divided into two separate entities as Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territory of Ladakh. The people of Ladakh had been demanding this kind of Union Territory status for long. The residents of rest of the state i.e. Jammu and Kashmir have never demanded this kind of treatment.

The Parliament has amended temporary Article 370 in accordance with the procedure adopted and power vested in the Parliament. So far as the status of J&K as a state is concerned that could not be changed by the Parliament without the consultation of the residents of Kashmir Valley and Jammu Pradesh. The residents of Ladakh had been demanding for long and their legal representative namely, legislators had been demanding this status of Union Territory.
