Olson praised India for the abrogation of Article 370 by saying that for 70 years, the temporary provision forced people of Jammu and Kashmir to live under different laws than all other Indians.
“This year, the Indian parliament confirmed that Article 370’s temporary status should end. It ended. It gave the people of Jammu and Kashmir the same rights as all Indians.”
“For 70 years, this temporary provision forces the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir to live under different laws than all other Indians, different rules for citizenship, for property ownership,” he said.
