Finance Minister: When Rajya Sabha passed the 2010 bill, late Sushma Swaraj and former Rajya Sabha member Brinda Karat hugged each other in joy. There's a desire to see this introduced that transcends party lines. Someone asked why focus on Art 370. But this has a very important component of women's empowerment: Women marrying outside J&K were denied ownership of property. By abrogating Art 370, rights were secured to SC, ST, women, and Bakharwals.
