Says Article 370 was wall between country and J&K’s development: PM Modi in Jammu*
JAMMU: Stating that the Article 370 was a wall between the country and J&K’s development, Prime Minister Narendera Modi said after scraping the special status, J&K is on the path of everlasting peace and development that had been blocked by the people who remained in power for seven decades.
“Article 370 was a wall between the country and J&K’s development. This wall was removed forever by the BJP government. The families that ruled J&K for 70 years
Never thought about the people and the youth. They instead worked to keep their parties relevant to grab power again and again,” the Prime Minister thundered from the stage at the jam-packed Moulana Azad Stadium in Jammu after inaugurating over 220 projects worth Rs 32000 Crore.
A massive crowd had gathered at the stadium to listen to PM Modi.
He started his speech with a Dogri couplet of Padma Sachdev “Mitthdi-e- Dogri Di Boli Te Khand Mithi Dogri.”
PM Modi said that he was happy to see 70-year-long dynasty rule dying in J&K. “Those who ruled J&K for seven decades never cared about downtrodden people including weaker sections of the society,” he said.
He said that there was a movie coming on Article 370. “This movie will help make people aware about certain important facts about Article 370,” he said.
The PM said that J&K was no longer in news for guns, bombs and separatism. “Education, Connectivity and development has replaced this all. Youth of J&K don’t need to go out of J&K for professional courses as Kashmir and Jammu regions are emerging as the educational hubs,” he said. “Far from hartals and bandhs, youth of J&K are scripting their own future.”
He said after removal of Article 370, he has asked people of the country to give BJP 370 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and over 400 seats to NDA.
