Concept:The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) were not made applicable to the State of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370.
Explanation:Article 370 granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Under this, many provisions of the Indian Constitution did not fully apply to the State.
The DPSP (Part IV, Articles 36‑51) were specifically excluded from application to J&K.
Instead, a separate Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir contained its own directive principles.
Thus, the statement that DPSP apply to J&K is incorrect.
The other options are correct for the pre‑2019 status:
Option B: Article 35A gave special rights to permanent residents regarding employment, settlement, and property.
Option C: Article 19(1)(f) (right to property) was omitted from the Indian Constitution by the 44th Amendment in 1978, and the same omission applied to J&K.
Option D: Article 368 of the Indian Constitution (amendment procedure) did not apply to amendments of the State’s own constitution.
Answer:Option A is not correct.
