On August 5, 2019, the Lok Sabha passed the Jammu and Kashmir (Reorganisation) Bill 2019 with 370 members of parliaments (MPs) voting in favour and 70 against it. The revoking of Article 370 has stripped the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. Now, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh will be two new union territories with J&K having a legislature and while Ladakh will be without legislature.

On the same day, the Lok Sabha also passed the resolution revoking Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, with Home Minister and BJP president Amit Shah stating that history will decide if the decision to repeal the constitutional provision is right or wrong.
