Solution

The correct option is B 2 only
Explanation:
  • Statement 1 is incorrect: The Presidential order signed by the President of India has not scrapped Article 370. But invoking this very article, the special status of Jammu & Kashmir has been withdrawn. Thus, Article 370 is very much on the statute book.
  • In other words, the move by the government gives full applicability to the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier, only a set of limited provisions such as foreign relations, communication, and defense had jurisdiction over Jammu and Kashmir.
  • Statement 2 is correct: Article 35A of the Indian Constitution is an article that empowers the Jammu and Kashmir states legislature to define “permanent residents”.
