Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress members and supporters burn Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's effigy as they protest against the Pulwama terror attack, in Jammu, on Saturday. The flurry of activity came nine days after the Pulwama attack and ahead of a hearing in the Supreme Court on a Sangh-backed petition that wants Article 35A of the Constitution scrapped. Article 35A entitles only permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir to acquire immovable properties and get government jobs and scholarships. The step that stood out the most was the order to airlift 100 companies of central forces for deployment in Kashmir. Mohammad Yasin Khan, who heads the apex trade body Kashmir Economic Alliance, said rumours were rife on Article 35A.
