The meme makers took the opportunity to boost their business and creative people shared some hilarious stuff to tickle the funnybone, no matter how serious the situation is:

Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir was scrapped on Monday, along with Article 35 (A), as Rajya Sabha passed a momentous bill that bifurcates the state into two Union Territories.

Article 35A disallowed people outside from the state from buying or owning immovable property in Jammu and Kashmir, settle permanently or availing state-sponsored scholarship schemes.

It also denied property rights to a woman who married a person from outside the state.

To guarantee the special rights and privileges, the Article 35A said no act of the state legislature that came under it could be challenged for violating the Constitution or any other laws.
