Country's sporting fraternity on Monday led by cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir congratulated the Central Government for abolishing Article 370 that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Home Minister Amit Shah moved the resolution on Article 370 and a separate bill to bifurcate the state into two separate union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
"Whatever we could do, we have shown it. Kashmir has also trimmed its tricolor! Jai Hind ! Congratulations India! Happy Mister! @narendramodi @AmitShah," Gambhi, who is a BJP MP, originally tweeted in hindi.
His former India teammate Suresh Raina termed it as a "landmark move".
"Landmark move - scrapping of #Article370! Looking forward to smoother, and more inclusive times. #JaiHind," Raina wrote.
Another former cricketer Mohammad Kaif added: "Here's to more inclusiveness. May there be peace and love. #Article370."
Former India women's cricket team captain Anjum Chopra tweeted: "The scrapping of #Article370 is certainly a good and bold move. Loss of lives and uncertainty in the valley has to be addressed someday. #JammuAndKashmir @AmitShah @BJP4India."
