All language subtitles for Article 370 (2024)_track3_[eng]aas

1947.

India was on the threshold of Independence.

But the fire of Hindu-Muslim
partition was still spread everywhere.

Out of 565 princely states,
almost everyone had decided

to either join India
or the new country of Pakistan.

But the future of some places
was still uncertain,

like Jammu & Kashmir,

where the population was mostly Muslim

but the ruler was Hindu.

Maharaja Hari Singh always
wanted to be a part of India.

However, Prime Minister Nehru

was not ready to accept his accession

until he agreed to handover
the rein of Kashmir

to his close friend Sheikh Abdullah.

Taking advantage of this situation,

Pakistan launched an attack on Kashmir

with its army and tribesmen during
the dark of night.

Compelled, the Maharaja
accepted Pandit Nehru's condition.

But before the Indian army

could completely drive
out the enemy from Kashmir,

the Indian government accepted
the UN's ceasefire proposal

and stopped the war with Pakistan.

As a result, one-third of Kashmir fell
into Pakistan's illegal possession.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was
the only Muslim-majority state in India,

Sheikh Abdullah demanded a special status

for Kashmir from the central government.

This led to the birth of Article 370,

which gave Kashmir
a separate constitution,

a separate Prime Minister,
and a separate flag.

Unknowingly, we had established

a separate nation within our own country.

Taking advantage of this power,

since the 90s,
some Kashmiri separatists, Pakistanis,

and terrorists made various attempts
to break India,

from wars to jihad.

They even went to the extent
of massacring Kashmiri Hindus

and expelling them from the Valley.

Moving forward to 2015,

social media gave a new role
to this old conflict.

And a new star of the mujahideen emerged
from this changing panorama,

Burhan Wani.

who captured the hearts

and minds of Kashmiri youth
through his viral instigating videos.

The situation kept worsening,

and the central government
in Delhi began to believe

that the time had come to rectify
a historic mistake made 70 years ago.

Listen up! Please listen to me!

Please take your seats

Please sit down.

Otherwise I will have to suspend you all.

Chairman sir, the entire nation
stands as a witness today.

What is going on in Kashmir?

Thousands of innocent people are being
arrested without any justification.

All telecommunication

and internet services
have been suspended.

In my view, they are launching
a deliberate attack on democracy itself!

Please, sit down.

What are you doing?

Kashmir, once believed
to be paradise on earth,

has sadly been reduced to
an open-air jail by this government.

- An open-air jail!
- Settle down, please!

Please return to your seats.

Yes, Zooni?

Are you absolutely sure?

Greetings.

Greetings.

Sabia had booked a slot
for a pedicure session?

Your name?

Maleeha, from ZamZam Parlour.

Sabia!

Yes?

Someone from the parlour is here.

Alright, Mom. Send her up.

Do you like this shape?

Why didn't Rukhsar come?

You know
Eid is just around the corner.

Siddiqui ma'am's appointment went
on for long

Your have a lot of dead skin.

You haven't done
any treatments recently?

Aunty?

Yes?

I'll fetch it for you.

Thank you.

You also have ingrown hair.

Did you use a razor?

You shouldn't be using a razor.

After this, shall I move on
to waxing your legs?

No, thank you.

This is enough for today

How about getting
some nail art done?

It's a popular trend among youngsters

Here, take a look.
I have some great designs with me.

Please have a look at them.

Careful
Thank you.

Did you like any of them?

Let me know
if you need anything else.

Your mother doesn't know?

Who are you?

Don't stop, keep swiping.

Go ahead, and take a look.

Gulposh.

Cute nickname.

Your anklet is so beautiful.

But this design isn't available
in Kashmir.

Where did you get it from?

Tral Market?

or Kotli Bazaar?

But that's across the border.

Listen, I think you should leave.

I don't know anything.

I haven't even asked anything yet.

Please leave.

Burhan isn't a terrorist.
He's a Mujahid (holy warrior).

So, no matter what your army
or forces say

the entire Kashmir supports Burhan.

Sabia, if I leave,

the ones who will replace me
won't be as kind.

He is seeing four other girls as well.

Two in Kupwara,

one in Sopore,

and the last one's from Rawalkot, PoK.

Think about your parents.

Your father's a heart patient, right?

Think about when the police will drag

you out of here in front
of the neighbourhood.

How will he feel, huh?

Don't do this for someone
who doesn't even love you.

Don't put your life

or your parents' lives
in danger for him.

Where is Burhan?

Okay.

Khawar, sir.

I've got intel that Burhan will be
in Kokernag at 06:30 pm.

We have to act now!

No.

Listen, it can be a trap also.

I'll need to confirm
with Jibril before proceeding.

Till then, no action.

But sir, my information is--

Hello, Chauhan?

Military Intelligence
has eyes on the house.

We can't get full 360 coverage
all around.

The north axis is a no-go,
too many houses.

If anyone even peeks out by accident,

the whole operation will go bust.

So the most important here...

Zooni, we've already
spoken about this before.

I've been tracking him
for six straight months.

I had to see it through.

What's the estimate
of the count inside?

They're throwing a big feast for Eid,
probably 20-25 people.

Including women and children.

Okay, these are the entry points.

Here, here, and here.

Major Kumar, from R.R.

will lead the operation.

His team will enter
from the southern axis.

Wasim, yours will be from the east.

And mine will come from the west.

Balram, you're with ma'am,
guarding the north wall.

Observation only.

Everything clear?

- Roger, sir!
- Roger, sir!

Let's go, boys.

You don't have
Khawar's authorisation, right?

Burhan has slipped away
from us twice already,

thanks to Khawar
and his "informer" Jibril's confirmation.

Trust me, he will come here for sure.

Chauhan

There's only one way to find out.

Sierra 1 on perimeter.

Sierra 2 in position.

Sierra 1 commencing breach.

Zooni for all stations.

Periphery looks clear.

Help!

Nothing will happen.
Keep calm.

Ground floor clear.

Sierra 2 moving in.

Zooni. Contact. Out.

Cover me.

Sierra 1 for all stations. Hold fire.

That's him.

Boys, we got him.

Sir, we got him.

Zooni, you have no idea
what you have done!

Ma'am, Burhan Wani has been shot dead

by the security forces in Kokernag.

How did this occur under your watch?

Ms. Aafiya,

there are certain things
that neither you nor I can control.

What about the ISI?

Were they not aware that an operation
of this magnitude was taking place?

They were not.

I just spoke to Brigadier Pasha.

We are on the brink of an uprising,

similar to the Palestinian Intifada.

You have been saying
that for a long time now.

They will retract their support
at the last moment.

Then why don't you propose
a plan of action?

It is convenient to make grand claims
while being safe here in Srinagar--

Mr. Abdali, have you forgotten

that you are a guest in this house?

We all mourn the death of Burhan,
including you,

Mr. Abdali, right?

And what about you, Ms. Aafiya?

In that case, shouldn't we unite
to ensure his sacrifice is not in vain,

instead of fighting amongst ourselves?

We should ignite this spark
and turn it into a flame.

If we can maintain the anger

and frustration within our people today,

I truly believe that we may be closer
to achieving freedom,

for the first time since the 1990s.

The news hasn't yet spread widely,

so it would be wise for us

to shape the narrative of
how this news is circulated.

Moving forward, we will release
a new calendar every Wednesday.

The Strike Calendar.

It will specify the mosques
in different areas

that will play the Pakistani national anthem

and identify the houses and localities
that will be under lockdown.

It should be treated as official orders
and must be implemented accordingly.

Stone pelting should occur
every other day.

Young or old,

Ensure that everyone
is equipped with a stone.

Encourage stone pelting.

Make sure those Indians
do not experience any respite.

Burhan's sacrifice will not be in vain.

The day of his funeral will be marked
in golden letters.

Burhan was much more than a Mujahid.

He also happened to be the son of
an ordinary headmaster.

Due to this reason,

people worldwide will observe
the event on their mobile devices,

when the next Commander
of our Freedom Movement,

a new "Burhan",

will declare a war against India
in front of the world.

Your blood, Burhan,
will spark a revolution

We are ashamed, Burhan,
your killers are still alive

Zakir Naikoo.

This game demands bloodshed.

Your defeat is inevitable.

Now, a Burhan will be born
in every house.

How many Burhans will you eliminate?

There is only one response
to Burhan's sacrifice!

Al Jihad!

Al Jihad! Al Jihad! Al Jihad!

What message do we have
for the Indian infidels?

- Kashmir will become
- Pakistan! Pakistan! Pakistan!

What is our relationship with Pakistan?

There is one and only one God!

- What do you demand?
- Freedom!

- What is our right?
- Freedom!

What will we take by force
if not granted?

Freedom!

We demand freedom!
We demand freedom!

We demand freedom!
We demand freedom!

We demand freedom!
We demand freedom!

We demand freedom!
We demand freedom!

We demand freedom!
We demand freedom!

We demand freedom!

Following the demise of the renowned
Hizbul Mujahideen Commander Burhan Wani,

widespread incidents of violence
have erupted throughout the Valley.

Sopore, Anantnag
and Downtown have witnessed

clashes between security forces
and protestors,

resulting in numerous injuries
to children due to pellet guns.

Some have been admitted
to nearby hospitals.

Burhan Wani,
the son of a poor headmaster,

was fatally shot by security forces
and intelligence agencies

on the night of July 8th in Kokernag.

In the past two decades,

the Kashmir Valley has not witnessed
a demonstration

as massive and violent as the on-going
rebellion against the Indian Government.

Who authorised this operation?

Was Khawar notified about it?

Were you aware of the estimated number
of terrorists present?

Sir, I had information
only about Burhan.

Were you aware that women

and children would be
at the target location?

I presumed so, sir.

What did you "presume" would happen
if any of them were shot?

We killed Burhan

without a single innocent casualty.

No, you have not!

You have not killed him,

you have elevated him to a martyr!

Kashmir has its own system and rules.

You understand the risks
of going against

this established protocol, don't you?

You

You have no respect for
the chain of command.

You have bypassed my direct orders.

Furthermore, you involved the security
forces without obtaining any approval,

despite the information being
both sensitive and unconfirmed.

Because of your arrogance
and stubbornness,

all the years of diligent efforts,

negotiations, and pursuit of peace -

It's all gone.

Kashmir is burning today, and

It is all because of you.

You and only you are responsible for it.

You are transferred to Delhi.

Effective immediately.

A curfew has been declared in Srinagar

Stay indoors, don't venture outside.

Zooni

It's time for your flight.

We'll have to move.

- Good morning.
- Hi, Brinda.

I need answers on Kashmir.

The press conference is
taking place inside.

What are you doing out here?

There exists a notable tension between
Ms. Parveena and the PM's coalition, correct?

Why hasn't Jammu
and Kashmir's Chief Minister,

Ms. Parveena,
taken a decisive stance yet?

Instead of asking me,
you should direct that question

to the PM's party president
or Ms. Parveena.

This is the PMO (Prime Minister's Office).

We are concerned with national security,
not party politics.

Of course, but you would agree

that Kashmir's political instability
currently poses the greatest

security concern for our nation?

Everything's under control, Brinda.

You would have known this
if you attended the press conference.

60 people have lost their lives,

and over 7000 are injured.

Can we truly say that the PMO has control
over the situation in Kashmir?

Excuse me.

Good morning, ma'am.
PM sir is waiting for you.

Zooni.

Yeah, Chauhan?

Did I wake you up?

You don't even call after going there.

How's Delhi treating you?

Wonderful.

Today, I am responsible for the security
of a minister's second wedding.

Hmm.

You know what?

Sometimes, you have
to take a few steps back

to make a significant leap forward.

I am confident that
you will come out of this stronger.

They have brought me down
to the ground, Chauhan.

Just hang in there, Zooni

Just hang in there.

Take care.

In the past few weeks, the Prime Minister met
with six separate delegations from Kashmir,

which included village heads
and school children.

The Prime Minister's outreach
program towards Kashmir

has been ongoing
for the past two years.

However, since the death
of Burhan Wani,

it has gained a new momentum.

Is the intention behind
this new political approach

to reduce violence
and tension in Kashmir?

Or is there a possibility
that the government

is planning to take
a major step in the alley?

How's your father?

He's just as stubborn as you.

So?

Article 370.

I thought the PM was
busy stabilising the Valley?

You also attempted
to abolish it during your tenure.

I tried, and I was unsuccessful.

That's why I have come to you.

So that, we can succeed
this time around.

Rajeshwari,

What is Article 370?
A temporary provision

that can only be removed with
the approval of the Constituent Assembly

of Jammu and Kashmir.

However, that assembly
was dissolved in 1957

after the formation
of their constitution.

Exactly.

Without a Constituent Assembly in place,

where will the approval originate
from now?

We need to find a loophole

that allows us to transfer the powers

of the Constituent Assembly
to another assembly.

What about the State Assembly?!

As far as I know,

there is no provision for such
a transfer of powers.

Even if we assume that the power
is transferred to the State Assembly,

which political party
in Kashmir will come to support it?

Will the PM's coalition partner,

Ms. Parveena Andrabi,
provide her support for this?

Look, getting support from
any local party is not possible.

This leads us to the next option
of passing a new law from Delhi.

However, you should be aware
that for the past 70 years,

the people of Kashmir
have been influenced

to link Article 370 with religion.

They have created a perception
that if Article 370 is abolished,

it will take away your rights
to practice Islam.

They claim that you won't be able
to perform Namaz five times a day,

and that all mosques
will be converted into temples.

They also spread fear that people

from other religions will harm
your daughters and sisters.

Ma'am,

NIA (National Investigation Agency)
in Kashmir?

The ID (Intelligence Division)
and the police will simply refuse to cooperate.

Kashmir is their turf, ma'am.

I don't think they would accept
any other agency.

Look,

I understand your hesitation.

The PM is very clear

about preventing a recurrence of an uprising
like the one after Burhan's death.

And for that, we have decided
that the National Investigation Agency

Will be the apex body

for all terror-related cases
in Kashmir from now on.

We need the best intelligence officers

with on-ground expertise in Kashmir.

We require the nation's
best financial experts,

lawyers, CRPF, J&K police...

And I'll need a little more sugar
in this coffee.

Got it, ma'am.

If there's nothing else,
let's get back to work?

Ma'am.

Yesterday's on-ground report
from Kashmir.

Delhi!

We extend a warm welcome
to Delhi, sir!

Our entire team is here to assist you.

Despite the scorching heat,
a Kashmiri is being greeted in Delhi.

- A Kashmiri's welcome
- Welcome, welcome.

- He's Mr. Qureshi.
- Okay, okay!

You are the security in charge from ID,
Delhi, correct?

Yes, that is correct.

I am Mohsin, his PA (Personal Assistant).

Jalal sir will first go to his hotel,
and then to the PMO.

I remember seeing
you somewhere before.

You must have seen the reports.

It is a complete mess.

You should have negotiated with Burhan.

Like how the central
government negotiated

with Mast Gul in the 90s.

However, your agencies

consistently carry out major
operations overnight,

neglecting to inform us whatsoever.

This cannot go on.

I will make it clear
to the Prime Minister.

I will not be a puppet
CM (Chief Minister).

Ms. Andrabi,

let's put the past behind us.

The PM now wants
to focus on the future of Kashmir.

And what about its present?

Sitting here in Delhi,
thinking that everything is--

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're meeting at the Western Court.

- Yes, of course.
- Sir.

For sure. Okay, bye.

Sorry, sorry, I got stuck in traffic on
my way here from the airport.

I am not accustomed to travelling

in cars without the official beacon,
you see.

Oh you're here as well?

No wonder Kashmir seemed
so calm today.

Yes, of course.

Just like your speech is contributing
to maintaining peace?

I'm sure you're also itching
to give a speech or two.

But she cannot give any speech

or statement because of you.

Don't mind, Ms. Rajeshwari

Yes?

I suggest that we restart Track 2

diplomacy with Pakistan.

I will personally lead the delegation.

Naturally, you will.

It's been a while since you enjoyed
Nihari in Pakistan, hasn't it?

Mr. Jalal, Ms. Andrabi,
the PM is ready.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

So, please remember what I said

Of course.

Thank you.

What did you say your name was?

Zooni.

Haksar.

Zooni Haksar. Sir.

You are not, by any chance,

the daughter of Kabir Haksar
of the J&K Bank, are you?

Very sad, it was really unfortunate.

He was a good man, your father.

You know,

I strongly believe that no matter how big

or small the problem you're facing

suicide is never the answer.

Nonetheless, you made the right choice
by coming here.

India is a safe place for you
to be in.

Over there, in Kashmir

Anything can happen at any time

No one knows.

Alright.

Hi, Zooni.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why Mumbai?

I had applied for a few jobs

Hopefully, I'll be able to put
my Economics degree to some use.

Don't you miss home?

Family? Friends?

Ma'am, if you don't mind

Why are you here?

To give you a chance to go home.

There is a crucial assignment,

and I want you to return
to Kashmir for it.

No, ma'am.

With due respect,

I'm done.

Zooni, you will not be working
under Khawar.

You will be joining the NIA.

You won't need to report to the police,

the ID, or the local government.

You will have a free hand at the NIA.

You will report directly to me.

You will lead a team of your own,

with the primary objective of

putting an end to violence
in the Valley and bringing some stability.

Forgive me for being
so blunt, ma'am,

but it doesn't matter
if you send me as an NIA officer,

an ID officer,

or as the CM of Kashmir...

It will not make a difference.

Terrorism is a business.

Terrorism is a business.

and it has nothing
to do with this drama of "Aazadi"!

But it has everything
to do with "Money".

If America provides
Pakistan with billions

in funding to locate Bin Laden,

Pakistan will feign efforts
of searching for him,

but ultimately refrain
from capturing him,

as this will allow
the continuous flow of funds.

A similar situation exists
in the Valley as well.

Out of 29 states,

Kashmir receives the maximum funding
from the central government

for peace, order, and development.

However, for years now,
the influential politicians,

corrupt bureaucrats,
and affluent businessmen in the region

have been exploiting Kashmir's
conflict-driven economy

to line their own pockets.

They may pretend to pursue peace,

but they won't allow it to prevail.

Moreover, due to Article 370,

they control almost every institution.

No matter how much evidence we gather

or the number of cases we file,

their special status ensures

that none of them end up behind bars.

They have held the entire
society hostage.

I had a schoolmate named Shivam Kumar,

a brilliant student,
and a topper throughout.

Do you know what he does now?

He works as a janitor
at Habba Kadal!

Because Article 370 prevents a Dalit
(oppressed caste)

from taking up a government job.

If a Kashmiri girl marries
a non-Kashmiri,

her property is taken away.

And let's not even discuss
the rights of the Hindus.

Why is it that only the children of
the poor shout slogans for freedom,

take up arms, or throw stones?

Meanwhile, children of Salahuddin,
Parveena,

or dreaded ex-terrorists like
Yaqub Sheikh study

in top foreign schools,

earn prestigious degrees,
and acquire top positions.

I'm sorry ma'am, but corruption
is ingrained in them now.

Getting rid of it is impossible.

Despite our best efforts,

we cannot take any actions against them
as long as the special status persists.

And they won't let
us touch Article 370.

Kashmir is a

lost case, ma'am.

We should forget about it.

Just out of curiosity,

if you had to redo the
Burhan Operation,

what would you do differently?

I wouldn't have returned his body, ma'am.

Wait until June.

Breaking news this morning.

The esteemed Prime Minister,

and party president Madhav Patel
have made an announcement.

Citing persistent political differences,

they have decided
to retract their support

To the coalition government led by
CM Parveena Andrabi in J&K.

Despite previous denials
from sources within both parties,

this move has come as no surprise

to viewers who tuned in
to my Primetime show at 9 PM,

where I had predicted
this very possibility.

Zooni.

From this evening onwards,
Kashmir will be under Governor's rule.

Neither Jalal nor
Andrabi can come to power.

I acknowledge that
this is not an ideal situation,

but it marks a starting point.

Get ready.

The rest of the NIA team
is waiting for you.

Ma'am, I have a request.

I require two more people
to join the team.

Okay, send me the details.

I'll see you tomorrow, at 8 am sharp.

And keep a brief ready for the team.

And as per your special request

Your team.

Interesting.

Special request, huh?

It feels like I have walked into a trap.

Right.

Let's get down to business.

Following demonetization,

ISI's cross-border funding
was significantly impacted.

Violence had gone down considerably.

However, unexpectedly,
it is on the rise.

Yaqub Sheikh's network has grown
faster than ever before.

But we've had a breakthrough
on our end recently.

Zooni.

In Anantnag, last week,

an incident involving
stone pelting occurred,

during which cash
was distributed to minors.

The investigation trail led
to a Maulvi-

who, upon interrogation,
revealed a name to the security forces -

Shamsher Abdali.

He appears to have been
the primary source of their funding.

Abdali is one of the prominent dry
fruit traders in the Valley.

Every week, many of his trucks leave for
PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir).

In fact, approximately 30%

of his business takes place via
the Uri-Muzaffarabad checkpoint.

In the 90s, he was arrested while working
for the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence).

However, in 2005,

he made a deal with
the central government

and was released
from jail after assisting

in the capture of important terrorists.

But we have now received
information indicating

that he is once again working for
the ISI under the pretext of trade,

facilitating their financial
transactions in Kashmir.

See, The BSF (Border Security Force) and Army

are conducting extensive patrolling
on all tunnels and cross-border routes.

So, cash smuggling is definitely
not happening through those routes.

What if there is no cash?

Over invoicing, under invoicing?

Yes.

Somewhat like that.

Can you explain it in simpler terms,
please, ma'am?

Okay, let's assume

that one walnut is worth the same
as one almond in value.

Wasim from PoK wants almonds,

and Chauhan from J&K wants walnuts.

However, Wasim does not
accept Indian currency,

and Chauhan does not accept
Pakistani currency.

There is no shared banking system as well.

So, what would both of them do?

Correct.

Classic barter system.

Okay, now let's assume
I am ISI

and I instruct you
not to exchange one almond for

one walnut but two walnuts instead.

But why should I give him two walnuts

when I would lose
one almond in the process?

Exactly.

But what if I, as the ISI,

tell you that

I will compensate for
this loss separately?

Now Chauhan has an extra walnut.

Which makes it?

- Profit.
- Yes.

The money goes from the ISI's pocket
to Abdali's pocket.

Now, by selling this walnut
in the black market in India,

Abdali is generating
off-the-books funds.

- CRPF!
- Hands up!

Down! Down!

- CRPF!
- Fast!

CRPF! Hands up!

Stand up! Don't shoot!

Hands up! Hands up!

CRPF! Move back!

Move over to that side.
I said move over to that side!

Move! Towards the wall!

Come on, get them!

Get down. Down.

Where is Abdali?

Take him.

Where is Abdali?

I don't know any Abdali.

We work for a contractor.

Check the boxes!

Check all the boxes!

Chauhan, I need cover now!

Wasim!

Abdali's black money
and the account details.

Ma'am.

- I found something quite interesting.
- Yeah?

Whenever the manager
talks about Abdali,

he uses different names for him

like codenames.

Like what?

Here.

Listen to this.

Israfil is quite angry.

Because of your negligence,
three people were captured.

This is with PoK traders.

We need to cancel
the delivery planned for March 3rd.

Mikhayil has verified the information.

This is with a local separatist.

Please communicate
directly with Azraeel.

I cannot make such important
decisions on my own.

Israfil, Mikhayil, Azraeel

The Islamic archangels.

Aren't there four of them?

Israfil, Mikhayil, Azraeel

And Jibril.

Could you please give us a minute?

Okay, no problem, sir.

Please close the door.

I will.

I know the identity
of your informant, "Jibril."

Zooni, listen to me very carefully.

I want Abdali.

Stay away from him.

What if I tell you

he has been working
with ISI all along?

You are familiar with the concept
of a double agent, correct?

Of course, thanks to you.

On that day, your double
agent came very close

to successfully rescuing
the most wanted terrorist in Kashmir.

Yes, and we are still paying the price
for your "over-smartness" that day.

You have been establishing
your "back channels"

with these separatists and terrorists
for a lengthy period of time.

What benefits have you obtained
from these connections?

In 1996,

Kashmir was witnessing elections
for the first time in nine years.

The ISI planned
to employ local militants

to assassinate five prominent candidates

and intended to spread false
information through foreign media

that we were responsible
for their deaths.

This would have led
to an international incident

and possible sanctions against India.

The entire intelligence system
had failed to capture the militants.

That's when I utilized
Abdali as a means

to persuade them
to abandon their plan.

You have any idea
why my back channels exist?

Because when all other options fail

my back channels is the only thing

that bloody work!

How did you manage
to convince them, sir?

By offering money, right?

That would be considered
as extortion rather than convincing.

Abdali is useful and resourceful.

13 years ago,
I facilitated his release from jail,

and he has been my asset ever since.

If you haven't harboured suspicions
about him for the past 13 years

based on the perception
of him repaying a favour,

then perhaps he is not your asset;
you are his.

Get out of my office.

Give me Abdali.

Don't make me call Delhi.

Mr. Abdali!

The Army is here.

Arrange for a grand welcome.

Okay.

Wasim for Chauhan.

Stone-pelters. 150 to 200.

Hold them off.

This is a CRPF convoy.

Step out of our path,
I will have no choice but to open fire.

Please step away.

They aren't regular stone pelters.

This is a planned mob.

This is the CRPF convoy.

I need immediate backup.

Lalitpora village.

4 km away from the Highway.

Back up on the way 20-25 mins!
20-25 mins!

25 minutes is more than enough time
for them to get me out of here.

Asset car switching to alternate route.

Reverse and exit.

Hold the doors, hold the doors!

We won't be able to hold
them out for long.

Free Abdali!
Free Abdali!

Please step away.

Retreat back!

Wasim, this is getting out of control.

I'll have to shoot.

Back off!

Move! Move!

Chauhan, we didn't have any other option.

Had you not tied Abdali to the jeep,

it would have resulted
in either our demise

or the unintended harm of
a child due to our gunfire.

This way. Easy.

This is Mr. Haashim.

The headman of the village in Shopian.

He has been actively campaigning
against stone pelting

and militancy for many years.

In addition, he has successfully

rehabilitated numerous
misguided children.

These are for you.

Fresh apples, from my garden.

Thank you.

I have a request to make.

Please don't punish the entire
village for the actions of those children

who engaged in stone pelting today.

What are you saying?

Don't be worried.
We won't take any such action.

This is unfortunate but true.

Children often become involved
in stone pelting due

to the allure of money
or under political pressure.

Who pressured them yesterday?

The local MLA,

from Madam CM's party.

We are constantly forced to beg
for even the most basic necessities.

In return, we are compelled
to participate in strikes

and processions

as directed by those in power.

Today, we are under "Governor's Rule",
but tomorrow that may change.

The same individuals will return
to power,

making it risky to fight

or oppose them.

In Kashmir, being a friend of India

is more dangerous
than being an enemy of India.

Education Ministry?

The decision is up to you

Commerce and Industry?

You can also make that decision.

Mr. Jalal,

I must say you are displaying
great generosity today.

The occasion calls for it, ma'am.

Once our government is established,

we will deliver a joint speech
at Lal Chowk.

Mr. Jalal, do you remember

how the formation of
the government got stuck over

the finance ministry between
our fathers last time?

Let's leave the past behind
and move forward, Ms. Parveena.

That is water under the bridge.

A new Kashmir is on the horizon.

Just imagine the unease

in Delhi when they hear
about this progress.

Listen, Mohsin

Fax the coalition letter
to the Governor in Jammu.

Hello?

I'll call you back, sir.

Zooni!

Call a doctor!

Abdali!

Things are going according to plan.

The government will be established by
this evening.

The governor's rule will come
to an end.

I am just a little concerned
about Abdali.

You worry too much, Mr. Jalal.

You forget you have Yaqub at your service.

Once the government is established,
we will decide

who will remain in jail,
and who will be released. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Sir.

Hmm?

The fax is not going through, sir.

Their machine isn't responding.

Zooni, he is buying time.

For what, ma'am?

He will spend a maximum of
one week in the hospital.

After that, he is all ours.

Zooni, there's a development.

Jala and Andrabi are forming
a coalition government.

If it happens,

then all the work you have done
up until now will go to waste.

I suggest you bring him
to Delhi via an air ambulance.

- Delhi?
- Zooni,

I can't tell you everything right now.

Just trust me. Please.

Copy, ma'am.

Sir, the Chief Secretary.

Hanif, what the hell is going on?

Listen, don't play games with me.

Otherwise, you will be the first one

to lose your job once
we establish the government.

You understood?

And get the damn fax machine
working right away!

- Javed!
- Yes, sir.

Find out where the hell
the Governor is!

Shit, he is a snake, this damn Hanif!

Neither his PA
nor his Press Secretary

nor any other staff is answering
their phones!

You know what?

I'm going to put this online

- and tag the Governor.
- Yeah.

Let's see how he stops us
from forming a coalition.

Hmm.

Zooni, he will never return
from Delhi.

I don't think Rajeshwari ma'am
is telling us the whole story.

The PMO is definitely playing
a big game

that we may never find out about.

Anyway,

I am going to Jammu and Reasi
to seize some assets of Abdali.

I'll see you on the 15th.

Okay.

NVN News brings you a major
breaking news update!

Following recent reports
of alleged buying and selling of MLAs

(Members of Legislative Assembly)
in Jammu and Kashmir,

the Governor has officially called
for the dissolution of the assembly

and the implementation
of the President's rule in the state,

effective from next month.

As a result of this significant
development,

the aspirations of numerous
prominent politicians

to establish a government in Jammu
and Kashmir have been shattered.

It is important to inform

our audience that during the period
of the President's rule,

re-elections will not be conducted
until the political stability

and overall situation in the state
receive approval from the President.

This can often take weeks,

months, or even years.

- Morning, ma'am.
- Good morning.

Sit.

What's the update on Abdali?

Stable, ma'am.

Hmm.

We'll handle him from now on.

Ma'am...

The decision to give jurisdiction
to the NIA in Kashmir,

the crackdown on the financial networks
of Abdali and his handlers,

and the imposition of
the President's Rule

are linked, right?

Linked to what?

Are we

abrogating Article 370?

I have to light a lamp
from burning dreams,

I have to forget one wound
by receiving another it seems.

Well said, well said.

No one is forced
to keep the bond alive,

I've opened the door of my heart,

go where you strive.

Well said, well said, sir.

Thank you.

Good one, sir.

Amazing! - Mind blown!

Since you started your
special assignment,

We haven't had the opportunity
to listen to your poems.

Do you think I came here
to recite poetry to you?

CO sir informed me

that Tribhuvan returned
from his village yesterday,

so I assumed he must have
brought some choorma (Indian dish).

Let me have some as well.

'Red Van! Please maintain
a distance of 50 feet.

'Red Van! Please maintain
a distance of 50 feet.

Eat less!

Aren't you getting married next month?

Don't eat too much,
or your wife might leave you.

- Come on, sir!
- What sir!

Chauhan?
Where are you?

I am currently returning from Jammu.

I am currently with the convoy

- Hello?
- Is everything fine in Delhi?

I saw the news.

I'm saying you were right.

There's something really
big happening

Hello? I can't hear you.
Your voice is breaking.

- Zooni?
- I'm saying

you were right.

There's something really
big happening

I can't discuss it over the phone.

When will you reach?

Hello?

Let's speak properly
once you're back, yeah?

Chauhan, your voice is cracking.
What?

Zooni, let's speak properly
once you're--

We'll unite once more,
But for now, just let me go...

We'll unite once more,

But for now, just let me go...

I'll seek the divine,

And make him craft a new fate.

With this new fate of mine, I know...

We'll meet at some point for sure,

But for now,
just let me go.

We'll meet once again,

But for now, just let me go.

All set to go to Kashmir?

Yes, ma'am.

Zooni...

Are you going to be okay?

Ma'am,

Chauhan will never know
what he died for.

Chauhan's sacrifice will not go in vain.

We've got a lead on Pulwama.

It's Yaqub Sheikh.

Oh dear, you have a high fever.

Oh dear,

prayers are not enough,
you need medicine!

I won't have it.

Why are you refusing?
Just take a little.

This will help alleviate
the fever and your cold.

Look, the fever has already subsided.

- Wait! Give me a second.
- Where are they taking Father?

Where are they taking him?

Oh dear...

The man giving the call to prayer here has an
off key voice.

We are in Humhama, correct?

Hmm?

What purpose did the mask solve, huh?

Who all were involved
in the Pulwama incident?

Who brought the RDX?
Which locals helped you?

Quickly write everything down.

N-I-A - National Investigation Agency,

Government of India.

NIA hadn't even been born

when someone last tried to arrest me.

A week-long curfew had
to be imposed throughout Kashmir.

You cannot even touch me.

A single scratch and the human rights

activists will expose
the truth of your investigation.

You are nothing
but a two-bit terrorist.

Got it?

You only dress well.

Your face flushes when you're angry.

It's expected that you'll be angry.

You have suffered significant losses.

How many died?

35?

40!

Right?

Wasim, take a break.

Got a cigarette?

Send over some tea.

Are you Kashmiri?

Hey, are you a Pandit?

Or are you from our community?

Damn, I wish there was some tea
to go with this.

But I'll make do.

Zooni?

Zooni, what are you doing?

Zooni.

Good, at least there is someone
intelligent in this unit.

Even if that someone happens
to be a girl.

That boy is quite emotional, isn't he?

Good, you gave him a break.

To calm down, right?

Otherwise...

Oh shit!

Stay where you are, Wasim!

Zooni, this is Kashmir and not Delhi!

I don't care! Get out!

Mattoo, take everyone
and go downstairs.

Wasim, I said get out!

- He will die, Zooni!
- Get out!

Hey!

- Shit!
- I won't spare you!

Pull me up!

Did you hear me?

You are a freedom fighter,
aren't you?

So get ready to sacrifice yourself.

Stop this joke.

Pull me back.

We sent empty coffins from Pulwama.

Their family members
couldn't even see their faces.

Who all were involved, Yaqub?

Pull me up! I said pull me up!

Tell me quickly,

my hand can slip anytime.

Naikoo! Naikoo! Naikoo!

Zakir Naikoo!

Please, please.

Naikoo was the mastermind
behind the whole plan.

He is directly dealing with the ISI now.

For the past year,

he has been involved in establishing
the entire network of Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Where did the RDX come from?

From across the border via
the Kathua tunnel.

What was the plan?

In the past, the highway

would be closed to regular traffic
during convoy movements.

Nevertheless, for the ease of the public,

CRPF had relaxed
that rule some months ago.

Naikoo saw an opportunity
in this situation.

Upon learning about the troop movement
on the 14th of February,

he immediately put his plan
into action.

Who was the suicide bomber?

Adil Darr.

He was 20 years old.

He had been incarcerated for engaging
in stone-pelting activities

but was set free upon identification.

By whom?

Khawar.

I want to do it under
a legal framework.

Listen, Zooni...

I had no idea about it.

I thought he was just
a kid involved in stone pelting.

It was supposed
to be a small favour, that's all.

40 soldiers.

40!

We lost 40 of our men
because of your "small favour"!

Who called you?

Who called you, Khawar?!

What happened?
Can't remember?

Or can't say it?

Or was the person
who called also your asset?

Every time! Every time!

Every single time,
we have a breakthrough

somehow you are always there
to just screw it up for us!

30 years!

I have dedicated 30 years
of my life to the ID!

You have no idea
what all I have done for my country.

My methods have always produced results
in crunch time.

It is just that my back channels--

Say back channels one more time
and I will drag you out of here!

It is because of people like you
that we are still stuck here!

We haven't moved at all!

But I am putting an end to it.

You are suspended

effective immediately!

Indian Government claims
to have conducted an airstrike on Balakot,

Pakistan in the wee hours
this morning.

They also claim that more than 300

Jaish-e-Mohammad militants
were killed in this airstrike.

According to sources,

the government took this action

after forcibly detaining
and interrogating

the renowned separatist leader
Yaqub Sheikh.

Sir, Pakistan has sent its entire
Mujahideen leadership underground.

ISI has suffered a setback
like never before.

Balakot strike is a temporary victory.

What we need is
a long-term solution, sir.

Hmm.

Should we proceed with

our planned direction?

Should we abolish Article 370?

Sir, with due respect,

I feel taking such an extreme step
in the Valley may not be advisable.

Especially after the Pulwama attack.

Pulwama is the reason for continuing
rather than aborting the mission.

The sacrifice of our soldiers
should not go to waste.

But if we go ahead with this,

there may be further sacrifices
to be made.

The Burhan episode still haunts us.

Not to mention the backlash at the UN.

Exactly.

Moreover, the global order
is currently fragile,

and other countries might-

We cannot compromise
our sovereignty based

on the perspectives of other nations.

Sir, it's simple.

If we want to pen down history,

someone, somewhere will have
to create it.

Sir, we already face multiple
challenges here

such as Khalistanis,
Maoists, and Tribal separatists.

We are simply not prepared
for this right now.

And what are we banking on?

Will the abolishment of Article 370

solve Kashmir's problems overnight?

You're right, sir.

The problem of Kashmir
will not be solved overnight,

but the answer also lies
in the statement you just made, sir.

In the same sentence,

you distinguished Kashmir from India
and you didn't even realize it.

For 70 years, this idea has been deeply
ingrained in our minds,

sometimes treating Kashmir as
if it isn't a part of India.

Yes, revoking Article 370 might not be

the ultimate solution
for the Kashmir issue,

but it will become our issue, sir.

It will become India's problem.

Look, please try to understand
my perspective.

"We are one country;

we cannot have two constitutions,

two prime ministers, and two flags."

We will abolish Article 370

within the framework of
the existing constitution,

not through force.

It won't be an easy task.

Obstacles and opposition are inevitable.

But we must prove them wrong.

We will introduce the bill
to revoke Article 370

during the last two days of the upcoming
parliamentary session,

on 5th and 6th August.

It will be your responsibility
to ensure the bill's approval.

Kashmir is the crown of India,

an integral part of our cultural heritage.

Kashmir has suffered immensely,

and we cannot abandon it to fate.

Jai Hind.

We are live with three-time former
Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir

and an eminent leader,
Mr. Salauddin Jalal,

- Welcome, sir.
- Thank you.

What are your thoughts on
the current situation in the Valley?

This year has been quite
challenging for us.

Many promises were made
but remained unfulfilled.

There were false promises,
betrayals, and backstabbing.

They didn't spare anything.

Are you referring to the imposition
of "President's rule"

or the arrest of Yaqub Sheikh?

President's rule, of course!

Sudden, unnecessary,
ridiculous almost.

Regarding the arrest of Yaqub Sheikh,

I think we should let the courts decide
whether it is right or wrong.

Let's shift our focus
to the central government then.

As always, Article 370 was mentioned
in their manifesto.

370

is the only bridge
that connects Kashmir with India.

If this bridge breaks,

we will be separated forever.

And the Prime Minister recently said--

Listen to me carefully.

Even if this PM becomes the country's

Prime Minister for ten straight terms

he will still never be able
to revoke Article 370.

And you mark my words carefully.

Long after this current
government is history,

either 370 will still exist,

or Kashmir will no longer be
a part of India.

Do you know the source
of this confidence?

This file.

I get it, every day.

Stone pelting, militant encounters,

grenade blasts

These incidents contribute
to their growing confidence

while causing our confidence
to crumble.

But not anymore.

The fate of this mission relies
on three fundamental pillars.

If we follow them to the T,

then we need just one opportunity
to remove Article 370 and not ten.

No. 1: Secrecy.

Apart from the individuals present
in this room

and a select few core members
at the PMO,

even the Prime Minister's PA
should not be aware of our plan.

Second: Legality.

Since the process of removing
Article 370 is a closed loop,

we first need to figure out

what the constitutional path is
to resolve it.

Lastly

The Toughest:

Security.

On the morning of 5th August,

when Article will be abrogated

Jalal, Andrabi,

separatists, hooligans

They will try their best.

They will exert maximum effort
to instigate the people of Kashmir,

especially the youth.

They would want violence
in the Valley.

They are thirsting for a bloodbath.

The Prime Minister has given
strict instructions

that on 5th August
when this bill is passed,

not a single drop of innocent blood

will be spilled on the streets
of Kashmir.

Then and only then will

this mission be considered a success.

What's the update on Prompter 14?

Ma'am, all teams have been set up
in separate wings.

Good.

Make sure they don't communicate
with each other.

Right, ma'am.

Give me the summary report.

Sir, the 1975 copy.

Make sure there are no
inconsistencies, yeah?

- Hmm.
- Thank you.

Ma'am.

Siddharth.

We've discovered something
interesting, ma'am.

Chatterjee sir?

As you know, ma'am, in Kashmir,

any modifications related to Article 370

require the passage of a constitutional

order through Kashmir's
constituent assembly.

Right.

To date, four constitutional
orders have been enacted

to implement four changes.

Yes, ma'am.
1952, '54,

'58 and '65.

But the constituent assembly
was dissolved in 1957, correct?

Yes.

Were two constitutional
orders passed without its permission?

Yes, ma'am. 1958 and '65.

- How?
- That's the interesting part, ma'am.

The 1965 order was a routine one,

employing Article 367

to change some basic terminologies.

Article 367?

Yes.

Article 367 empowers
the President of India

to interpret any article
of the constitution.

And what about '58?

How was it enacted?

We are still working on that.

Preparation is the key here.

We'll have to pre-empt every
problem beforehand

and be prepared for it.

Let's think about what could be
the worst-case scenario.

Pakistan.

Pakistan could launch an attack on us.

It could result in a war
between the two countries.

And if things escalate,

our neighbour will do what
it always does.

They could threaten us with a nuclear war.

A few years ago, a rumour spread that

to seek revenge from Baloch rebels,

ISI contaminated its villages'
water supply.

To do the same thing
in the areas around the LoC,

it will take them
a maximum of 12 hours.

Terrorists could target
the Amarnath Yatra.

Or worse, they can be taken hostage.

Some countries with the UN would like
to settle their scores with India.

If they join hands,

they can impose some crippling
sanctions on us.

Sorry for being late, guys.

My driver misplaced the car keys.

Drivers!

There are thousands
of government drivers in Kashmir.

If they decide to go on a strike,
or take the keys and disappear,

the entire bureaucracy of the Valley
will be left sitting at home.

Next!

And most importantly,
we need to make a list

of all those people

who can create problems on 5th August.

Terrorist sympathizers,
radical Maulvis, anyone

who has done any activity against India.

And we will arrest each one of them.

That list will run into hundreds.

No, not hundreds, thousands.

Siddharth, please give me
the original document of the 1954

constitutional order. Quickly.

Here it is.

Chatterjee sir, please look at this,

and read the reference
to 1954 in the 1958 order.

Sure.

Sub-clause (d) shall be omitted,

and sub-clauses (e) and (f)
shall be re-lettered

as sub-clauses (d)
and (e) respectively.

This implies the original sub-clause (d)
of 1954 was deleted and sub-clauses

(e) and (f) were renamed.

This means that the original document
of the 1954 constitutional order

should have included
sub-clauses from (a) to (f).

A, B, C, D, and E.

It ends at E.

Thus, this isn't the original copy
of the order.

So, the original sub-clause (d)

which was deleted
is being concealed from us.

Are you suggesting
that the deleted sub-clause (d)

does not appear elsewhere?

That's correct, sir.

It is not found in either
the constitutional order of '52 or '65.

Only the '58 order includes it, sir.

Sir, we strongly believe
that this deleted sub-clause

holds the key to solving all
our problems.

Hmm.

However, to do so,

we require the original copy
of the 1954 order.

And the Home Ministry doesn't have it?

No, sir.

My team has thoroughly searched
various locations,

including the Parliament Library
and national archives.

Sir, I'm afraid that this document
may have been destroyed.

No, that seems highly unlikely.

A sensitive document like
the Constitutional order

would not be torn and discarded.

However, if this clause
is truly significant,

it may have been intentionally hidden.

If that's the case, it is likely hidden

in a location where it
is difficult for you to access it.

Excuse me.

Yes?

- May I help you?
- Greetings.

Greetings.

I'm Professor Heena Qureshi,

from Government Degree College.

He is my assistant, Afzal Baig.

He is pursuing a PhD.
I am his guide.

Ma'am, there was a

Sorry.

There was a government program,

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.

Could I get its file?

You will find it in this section.

Okay, ma'am.

But please be careful.

- They are all important documents.
- Yes.

Please ensure that the documents

are safely returned once
you have reviewed them.

Okay, ma'am.

Yaqub sir was grabbed at his residence!

He was subjected to mistreatment while
in custody.

I know it is risky,

but if we intend to maintain the momentum
following the Pulwama incident,

we must once more instill fear

in their hearts and minds.

It's not even in this file.

Looks like a major mix-up, ma'am.

It says '54 but also contains
records of '57.

What?

Yes, take a look.

Year 1957, CO 54.

Check Year 1954.
Could be a cataloging mistake.

I think the same mix-up happened
with our document as well.

1954, CO 48.

Check 1948.

Sorry, ma'am.
Dropped it by mistake.

Ma'am, we got it.

You'll get a copy of it
in the evening.

Wasim.

Go ahead.

Grenade!

Ma'am, Promoter 14 teams
are ready with their plan.

Okay, make a list of
potential receivers.

But until I give you the go-ahead,
keep them on standby.

Okay.

Ma'am, we just received
this from NIA, Srinagar.

Nisha, what's happening
with the Amarnath Yatra?

Ma'am, a joint statement has been
issued by the Army, CRPF,

and J&K Governor.

They have decided to cancel it.

What is the official reason?

The statement mentions
that there is a terror threat.

Security forces have recovered
some weapons

from a hideout near
the pilgrimage site.

1952. The first constitutional order.

This was a very basic legislation, sir.

A new position was established
in place of

the then Maharaja of Kashmir Hari Singh,

known as Sadr-E-Riyasat,
like a President.

And the position of the Maharaja's PM

was transformed into
the PM of J&K State.

1965. The fourth constitutional order.

It brought changes
to the terminologies established in 1952.

Similar to other Indian states,

the Sadr-e-Riyasat in Kashmir
was replaced with a Governor,

and the Prime Minister
became the Chief Minister.

But something very interesting happened

in the two interim
constitutional orders.

1954 - The second constitutional order.

Knowing that one day

the constituent assembly
would come to an end,

a clause was included in this order,
sub-clause (d)

which handed over the powers of
the Constituent Assembly of Kashmir

to the Legislative
Assembly of Kashmir.

Including the power
to abrogate Article 370.

We've established precedence here, sir.

So, this has already happened in the past?

Yes, sir.

The provision was approved by
the Constituent Assembly itself,

as they voluntarily
transferred their powers.

So then, why is this provision
not available today?

This brings us to 1958.

The third and the most crucial
constitutional order,

in which, the sub-clause (d)
of the 1954 order was deleted.

It was expunged.

In fact, every trace of
this sub-clause was expunged.

So, this path was intentionally
closed in 1958?

Yes, sir.

Tell me something,

if this path was indeed closed
in 1958,

then how were the roles
of Sadr-E-Riyasat

and PM changed to Governor
and CM in 1965?

Article 367, sir.

It gives the President the power

To interpret the Constitution, hmm?

To consider Sadr-E-Riyasat
as the Governor.

To grant the Legislative Assembly
of Kashmir the status of

Constituent Assembly, once again.

Yes, sir.

We will have to use a combination
of this established precedent

and the powers of Article 367.

If we give powers back
to the Legislative Assembly,

then this will definitely stand
in court.

Yes, Brinda?

I know something's happening.

Something's always
happening at the PMO.

Please be more specific.

Okay.

When the Governor's fax machine
broke down,

I thought it was a technical error.

But then when you guys canceled
the Amarnath Yatra

based on a routine threat,

that's when things caught
my attention.

And on top of all this,

there is heavy movement of
the Army on the LoC.

If Pakistan keeps instigating us

We won't keep quiet either.

Oh, please don't tell me that.

I've been covering foreign
affairs for 20 years now.

You are not going
to war with Pakistan.

My source tells me,

you are preparing for something
really big in Kashmir.

Are you going to pass a new bill?

Something that creates a law
and order situation?

Something that, maybe,

changes the special status?

The PMO will not dignify
this kind of gossip

and rumour with a response.

It's always so good to see you.

Don't miss my show tomorrow,
9:00 pm Primetime.

Good day.

What should we do, ma'am?

I don't know.

But she should not go live tomorrow.

Sir!

Sir, India is planning
to do something huge on 5th August.

Set?

Chauhan would be
very proud of you, Wasim.

Set?

All set.

Let's go.

NVN news is bringing you breaking news

Since this morning in the Kashmir valley,

the NIA (National Investigation Agency)
team has started raiding

the homes of separatists and militants.

There are reports of seizing several crores
of rupees from these houses.

Not only that, but...

Almost all politicians
and separatist leaders

in Kashmir have been taken
into custody.

According to sources,

former chief ministers
of Jammu and Kashmir,

Salahuddin Jalal and Parveena Andrabi,

too have been placed
under house arrest.

This whole drama that you see

this is unconstitutional.

What is the Indian government
doing in Kashmir?

We have to stop this.

We need to mobilize our people
and take to the streets!

Are you suggesting that we further
sacrifice innocent children

for the sake of your political gains?

I'm sorry, Ms. Parveena,

but we will not continue
with this approach any longer.

I have personally spoken
to the authorities in Delhi.

Any resources or assistance
that we need,

we will request directly from them.

We no longer have any intention
to beg for these provisions from you.

Hello?

Hello?

There are also reports of phone networks

and the internet being suspended.

We have always respected
the Indian flag,

but our body and our soul

This is our soul.

The administration has

also announced the imposition
of Section 144 throughout the Valley.

Ma'am, the arrests are already
in progress as we speak.

Our units have taken control
of every valley in Kashmir.

What about Naikoo?

Nothing on him, yet.

But I assure you, we will get him.

Communications?

All telecom and internet services
have been suspended.

Only satellite phones are active.

The curfew is in place as well.

Best of luck.

Best of luck, ma'am.

Can we trust this information?

Who is your source?

Khawar, sir.

He is working for us now.

Good.

So what is our plan?

From Kargil and Batalik
to Uri and Akhnoor

We have our troops
heavily deployed everywhere.

Sir, we've placed landmines up

to a distance of 3kms along
the entire LoC.

Good.

Gentlemen, let's ensure we give
them a crushing defeat.

Delhi can't treat us like this.

You let them know

that if they really want to stop me,
they better show up themselves,

and not send their foot-soldiers.

They were planning to,
but I put a stop to it.

You and I are both Kashmiri,

so it should be easier for me
to convince you, huh?

How dare you keep me
under house arrest?!

You have no idea about the repercussions
that could follow.

The Valley will be engulfed in a fire

that will remind everyone
of the events of 2016!

Once the Article is abolished,

those who have been causing unrest

in the valley for years will face
the consequences

and beg for forgiveness
from the people.

It didn't take long for
Abdali to squeal.

After a few whacks in Tihar Jail,
he turned into a government approver.

This is his signed confession.

It includes all your offshore accounts,
fake transactions,

and most importantly, scams.

From the Ujala Scam
to the J&K Bank Scam.

It's all there.

What bloody nonsense!

Those cases have been closed
for a long time now.

If you think you can corner me

This is Kashmir, madam!

I very well know how to

fix things here.

Of course, you do.

Kabir Haksar.

You framed him, didn't you?

To ensure the scam's investigation
doesn't implicate you.

According to the public,
my father committed suicide.

However, both you and I are aware,

that was a planned murder.

I will make sure
that you bloody well pay for it.

There are security forces stationed
outside for your protection.

It is advisable not
to leave your house for your own safety.

This is the safest place
for you right now.

Otherwise, anything can happen
to you in Kashmir now, anytime

No one knows.

Okay, so after your opening statement,

we'll go straight

- into the debate panel.
- Right.

Maulana Hassan

and Mr. Mishra will be joining
the panel as well,

so just make sure you push both
their buttons at the right time.

- Yes, sir.
- Yeah?

By the way, what did the PMO say?

Very nervous.

What will be the
Prime Minister's response?

Will he convene with the Army Chief

to strategize a punitive
action against Pakistan?

Our sources indicate that a high-level
security meeting is presently taking place

in the Prime Minister's
parliamentary chambers.

NVN News will exclusively provide
comprehensive coverage

addressing the questions surrounding
the Kashmir situation.

Sudhir, Pan to the convoy!
Quick! Quick! Quick!

Looks like the PM is here.

He is going to exit from Gate No. 4.

The Prime Minister is on the move.

- Hi, Bijoy.
- Don't go live, Brinda.

We were wrong about 5th August.

Something else is cooking here.

Bijoy, calm down.

I just got a copy of the bill
from another source.

It has nothing to do with
the special status.

Instead, they are going
to pass a legislation,

which will override the Indus
Water Treaty between India and Pakistan.

Please, double-check your sources.

I'm 100% sure.

It's a detailed bill of 200 pages.

It's not a rumour.

Check your mail.

Brinda, we have a problem.

Yeah D.K., I know.
The treaty, right?

What? Treaty? No, no!!

I just got a message
from a source at the Home Ministry.

It says Yaqub Sheikh is going
to be hanged on the 5th of August.

- What!!!
- Yes!

There is no bill.

What the hell is going on?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

We have been receiving reports

about various plans of the government
concerning the 5th of August.

- How many?
- 14.

All of them are equally detailed
and credible.

Brinda, we should cancel
the program.

We need more time
to vet all the information.

No-no-no!

This is the PMO strategy.

These are all decoys.

They want us to doubt our story,
so we back out!

We are not doing that.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Brinda Ghosh,

and you're watching Primetime
at 9 on NVN News.

What's going on?

We'll be back
after this commercial break.

Sir.

Goddamn it!!!

Mr. Madhav Patel is expected
to be here any minute now.

It's going to be big news.

It seems that
Mr. Madhav Patel has arrived.

Khawar provided this information.

Their military forces initiated
mobilization

but abruptly ceased.

Where's Khawar?

He's not answering his phone, sir.

Pasha

Do you even realise
what mistake you have done?

Let Zooni know, the trap is set.

Activate all your assets.

Create a ruckus as soon
as they introduce any bill, motion,

or resolution in the Lok Sabha
(The House of the People).

Yell, shout, and break
the tables if needed.

Do whatever it takes
to secure us a day

to devise a strategy
to prevail against them

in the Rajya Sabha (Council of States).

Okay?

Mr. Thapar, the Home Minister
will first visit the Rajya Sabha.

- He's coming here?
- Yes.

If he already possesses a majority
in the Lok Sabha,

why is he prioritizing his visit here?

Madhav,

passing the bill in the Lok Sabha
should not be a challenge.

However, as we lack a majority
in the Rajya Sabha,

it would be wise for us
to prioritize its passage there first.

By doing so, we can catch
the opposition off guard

and prevent them from formulating
strategic countermeasures.

You should reach out to every
opposition member of parliament

who is willing to prioritize
national interest

over their party

I will personally engage
with third-front parties.

Get me visuals of Downtown Srinagar,

Kupawara bus stand,
and Sopore Khaas, ASAP.

Initiated ma'am. On your screen.

Give me screens 2, 3, 5, please.

Copy!

What's happening on Tral Market?

Every 15 minutes, I want a report on
all the activities taking place there.

Updating ma'am.

- Zooni!
- Where are we on the--

What is it?

A call was intercepted
on the Dark Web.

What call?

From a Rogue ISP.

Outside Kashmir.

Where exactly?

Aabpara, Islamabad.

I think it's Naikoo.

Listen to me carefully.

The Governor needs to die
to demonstrate to the world

that India lacks control over
law and order.

Don't worry.

The king of Gupkar Road
will not see tomorrow's dawn.

Wasim, redirect all the nearby
units to Raj Bhavan.

Contact the ADC and put
the special security on high alert.

Chairman sir,

The entire nation stands
as a witness today.

What is going on in Kashmir?

Thousands of innocent people are being
arrested without any justification.

The government is depriving them

of their civil liberties
and human rights.

Chairman sir, in this modern
era of the 21st century

they have suspended
all telecommunications

and internet services.
Why?

Kashmir, once believed to be
paradise on earth,

has tragically transformed
into an open-air jail!

An open-air jail!

Keep silence, please!

Chairman sir,
what type of democracy is this?

What is this government doing?

In my view, they are launching
a deliberate attack on democracy itself!

- Keep quiet.
- No, no, no! Sit down.

Rumours are suggesting
that we are going to war with Pakistan.

Did they think about the effect
that will have on our economy?

There's also a rumour circulating
that Kashmiri Leader

Yaqub Sheikh is going to be hanged.

Chairman sir, I am warning you

we will lose Kashmir forever
because of their stupidity!

Wasim,

update on the security
at the Governor's house?

Additional forces are moving in.

They are being immediately relocated
from Gupkar Road to Raj Bhavan.

But why would they attack
the Governor House?

If anything happens to the Governor,

There will be chaos,
but in the end,

the blame will be put on Pakistan.

Zooni, the call we had intercepted
mentioned the king of Gupkar Road

The king of Gupkar Road?

Wasim.

What is the update
on Jalal Residence?

Security there is minimal,

because the forces are being shifted
to the Governor House.

Kashmir was witnessing elections
for the first time in nine years.

The ISI planned
to employ local militants

to assassinate five prominent candidates

and intended to spread false information
through foreign media

that we were responsible
for their deaths.

This would have led
to an international incident

and possible sanctions against India.

Wasim, Mattoo, turn around.

What?!!

Zooni, go again, go again.

Naikoo's target is Jalal,
not the Governor.

His men will be certainly monitoring
Jalal's residence.

So listen to me very carefully.

Please, please sit down.

Mr. Thapar, please

Mr. Thapar, this is exactly
what I have been saying all along.

Critiquing the government without

understanding its actions is futile.

Now the honourable
Home Minister is here.

Please, let him speak.

You might get your answers.

So, please, sit down. Please.

Yes, Zooni, talk to me.

Ma'am,

- It's Jalal.
- What?

The intercepted call
was intended to deceive us.

I remember Khawar telling me
how during the '96 elections

ISI planned to assassinate
popular candidates

and blame the Indian
Government for it.

The objective was to provoke
sanctions against our country.

Are you absolutely sure?

Absolutely certain, ma'am.

Jalal is the target.

Honourable Home Minister,

the floor is yours.

Respected Chairman

Exercising the authority bestowed
upon it by the Constitution,

the government intends to declare

that once the existing bill is

approved by the Parliament,

receives the President's signature,

and is officially published
in the government gazette as of today,

the fifth of August, 2019,

none of the provisions of Article 370

will be applicable in the regions of
Jammu and Kashmir!

In addition to that,

the government also suggests

that after Article 370,
is rendered inoperative,

in order to promote stability
within the state

and empower minority communities

Ladakh should be separated
from Jammu and Kashmir.

Chairman sir
Chairman sir

Both regions should be granted
the status of a union territory.

Engaging in such actions with the people
of Kashmir is an act of betrayal!

This is cheating!

The repercussions of this decision

will have a significant impact
on the nation.

No, no, we will not allow
any discussion on this matter!

They must immediately
revoke this bill!

Immediately!

It has already been done.

There's nothing you can do now.

Please, sit down.

Please, listen to me.

Boys, Ganderbal safe house.

Let's move, let's move.

Go for Zooni.

What's the update
on Jalal's residence?

We got the asset.

We'll meet you at the convergence point.

We are discussing a serious matter here.

This is a matter of national security,

please don't make it political.

Political?!

Chairman sir, this matter
is no longer just political,

it has now taken on
a deeply emotional aspect.

Do you see this empty seat?

It is designated for an esteemed member
of this House, Mr. Jalal.

A sitting MP of this House!

Do you know why it's empty?!

Because the government
has confined him under house arrest!

And he is crying for help

on national television,
but no one bothers!

'Brother, they are bringing
the king of Gupkar Road to your location.'

Chairman sir, we have not been able

to contact him since last evening!

Who knows what the government
might have done to him?

Chairman sir, I'm afraid
that his life might be in danger--

What are you saying, Mr. Thapar?

What are you even saying?

I want to assure you and this House

that the government will not let
any harm come to

Mr. Jalal, not even a scratch.

Convoy ambushed.

Reverse and exit!

Reverse and exit!

Charge!

Man down!

Rest assured, I promise to you,

this nation, and this esteemed House

that not even a single
mosquito will be harmed

in the Valley due to our actions.

This is not possible!

Chairman sir,

I have also studied Article 370
in great detail.

There is a very basic,

fundamental problem with
the proposal of the Home Minister.

Let me explain.

Article 370 can only

be rendered inoperative by
the Constituent Assembly of J&K,

which no longer exists!

So they do not have
the power to do it.

You do not have the power to take such
a step through parliament.

You are right, Mr. Thapar.

You are absolutely right.

Parliament does not have
this kind of power, sir.

Allow me to remind you,
in case you forgot

that the President has another
equally significant power,

granted by Article 367,

to interpret the Constitution.

This power allows him to transfer

the powers of the Legislative Assembly

of Jammu and Kashmir

to the Constituent Assembly
of the region.

Consequently, if the Government
of Jammu and Kashmir desires,

it has the authority
to render Article 370 inoperative today.

How can you do this?

Mr. Home Minister, perhaps you are
forgetting the fact that you,

yourself dissolved
the government of J&K.

You dissolved its Legislative Assembly

and imposed the President's rule there.

In the absence of a functioning
government in Jammu and Kashmir,

who would have the authority
to render Article 370 inoperative?

No, Mr. Thapar sir,
it's you who is forgetting something.

That's why I would like
to clarify one thing for you

and all the other part-time
politicians present here.

Whenever a President's rule
is imposed in a state,

the powers of its Government are

automatically transferred
to the Parliament.

So this very Assembly is the Constituent
Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir,

And it is also its Legislative Assembly!

No one else has this authority.
The power to render Article 370 inoperative

lies exclusively in our hands.

Moving in!

Mattoo! 11 o'clock!

Target the blue van.

All stations.
Protect asset at any cost.

Moving in!
Moving in!

Mattoo!

Where's the machine gun fire coming from?
Do you have a visual?

Negative!

11 o'clock skyline right window

Wasim. Mattoo.

It's time.

Boys spread out
Go! Go! Go!

Shahid?

Altaf?

This is a blatant violation
of the Constitution.

We will not let them do that.

We will approach the court!

We will challenge it!

We will challenge it!

Please, hear me out.

Please, stop.

Mr. Thapar,
you can indeed take this matter

to court and challenge it
if you so wish.

It is your constitutional right.

However, I would like to take advantage
of this moment to bring

to your attention,
as well as to the entire nation,

a significant matter
that should be acknowledged.

The proposal of transferring the powers

of the Constituent Assembly
of Jammu and Kashmir to

the Legislative Assembly
of Jammu and Kashmir,

which you vehemently oppose,

has previously been put into effect

in 1954.

And this action gained approval
from the Constituent Assembly itself.

Constitutional Order 1954,
sub-clause (d).

It goes like this.

References to the legislative
assembly of the state

shall be construed
as including references

to the constituent
assembly of the state.

This action has been
previously implemented,

and it was carried out by
your political party.

What nonsense!

Furthermore, in 1957,

the Constituent Assembly
was dissolved,

while in 1958,

the specific sub-clause (d)

mentioned earlier
was deliberately deleted,

effectively closing
any potential avenues

for future governments
to amend Article 370.

What are you saying?

- What are you saying?
- Your party is responsible for it.

I am telling you,
your party has done so.

Your party has done this.

What kind of an accusation are
you making on us, huh?

Why would any government,
any prime minister do such a thing?!

They would undertake such actions
for the same reason, Mr. Thapar

that led
to the division of India,

For the same reason that resulted
in the suffering of Kashmiri Hindus,

For the same reason that still obstructs
the implementation

of a uniform civil code
in our country!

Respected Home Minister,

have you thought
about the international fallout?

A direct resolution against
us could be passed in the UN!

And did you take China

and Pakistan into confidence
before taking this drastic step?

After all, the consequences
of this decision

will also affect their share
of Kashmir!

Their share of Kashmir?!

What are you trying to say, huh?

What are you saying, huh?

Do you not consider PoK and Aksai Chin
as a part of India?

How can you even say that?!

I am just stating the facts.

I am telling you the ground reality.

There is no need
to get emotional about it.

Emotional?!

Why shouldn't I get emotional?!

What are you saying?

How can you even say that?

Why shouldn't I get emotional?!

Listen carefully Mr. Thapar,
the entire Kashmir,

Was, is, and will always be
a part of INDIA!

How can you even say that?!

We are ready to give our lives for this!

- How can you even say that?!
- Long live India!

- Please! Please!
- Long live India!

- Please, sit down!
- Long live India!

- Walk out?
- Okay.

- Down with dictatorship!
- Down with dictatorship!

- Revoke this bill immediately!
- Revoke it! Revoke it!

Please, sit down.

Otherwise, I'll have
to suspend you all.

Give me an hourly update

and keep tracking the Rajya Sabha.

Yes, sir.

Honourable Prime Minister,

I prefer not to argue with you.

You acknowledge our obligations
as the opposition.

We are diligently carrying out
our responsibilities.

You may have successfully
persuaded the third front,

but please do not assume
that it will alleviate your challenges.

Regardless of the circumstances,

We won't resume the session
in the parliament

Sir.

The bill hasn't even been passed yet.

These images are
from the constituency you represent.

Today, the entire nation

is in jubilation as
if it were a festival.

Mr. Rohit, please do not become
an obstacle to this step in national interest.

Irrespective of whether
the parliament is functioning or not.

The country has begun marching forward

Go on now

The Rajya Sabha
is expecting your presence.

Mattoo...

The voting process will start now.

For those in favour of the bill,

kindly press the green button

labeled "ayes" within ten seconds
of the bell ringing.

If you oppose the bill, please press
the red button marked as "noes".

In case you prefer not
to take a stance,

press the third button, coloured yellow
and labeled as "abstain".

So, the voting time starts now.

This time, don't return the body.

Ma'am, we got Zakir Naikoo.

Jalal is safe.

Okay, the final voting count is in.

Abstain - 1

Noes - 61

And ayes - 125

Which means the ayes have it.

The ayes have it.
The ayes have it.

The motion to make
Article 370 inoperative is hereby passed.

You are witnessing historical pictures
of a historical moment,

straight from the Parliament of India.

Today, the central government
has abolished Article 370

and laid the foundation
for a golden Kashmir.

Perhaps, very few Indians
would have imagined

that they would have the opportunity
to witness this day in their lifetime.

It is incredible. Unbelievable.

In true sense, an undivided India.

To the viewers who are joining us today,
let us inform them

In my prayers,

I seek to be yours,

On love's gentle neck,

Snowflakes appear.

Within the city of love,

A new breeze takes flight, my dear.
