Raipur, August 05, 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today recalled the Parliament’s 5-year-old decision to abrogate Articles 370 and 35(A), calling it a watershed moment that led to a beginning of a new era of progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
“Today we mark 5 years since the Parliament of India decided to abrogate Articles 370 and 35(A), a watershed moment in our nation’s history,” Modi said.
“It was the start of a new era of progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. It meant that the Constitution of India was implemented in these places in letter and spirit, in line with the vision of the great men and women who made the Constitution,” he added in a post in X.
With abrogation came security, dignity and opportunity for the women, youth, backward, tribal and marginalised communities, who were deprived of the fruits of development. At the same time, it has ensured that corruption, which plagued J&K for decades, has been kept at bay, the Prime Minister said.
“I assure the people of J&K and Ladakh that our Government will keep working for them and fulfil their aspirations in the coming times,” said Modi.
