PM Narendra Modi has urged the people of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Ladakh, especially youth, to be a part of this historic journey and walk together for a greater cause. A peaceful and prosperous J&K and Ladakh is what every Indian wants.
The people of J&K and Ladakh have always been betrayed and deprived of development in the name of Article 370 by those who ruled the state for the past seven decades. But now by the abrogation of Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has put an end to this injustice.
Right to Education, Minimum Wages Act, Minority Act, social reservation for the disempowered, corruption-free governance, development of J&K and Ladakh is the least that people of these regions, which should have been their right, will get after this historic decision of PM Modi.
Key takeaways from PM Modi's first address after the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir :
# Union Territory status for Jammu and Kashmir temporary
# Ladakh will continue to be a Union territory
# Elections to be held in J&K soon
# All government vacancies in J&K to be filled
# Film shoots to return to the Valley
#Dynastic politics will end in Kashmir
PM Modi: The decision (of the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution as well as the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir) will help in the economic development of the entire country, along with the development of J&K and Ladakh.
PM Modi: I thank the companies of security forces deployed for the security of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The people associated with the administration, state employees; the manner in which the Jammu and Kashmir Police is handling the situation is praiseworthy, your hard work has further enhanced my belief that change can happen.
PM Modi: The government is taking care that people should not have any problem in celebrating Eid in Jammu and Kashmir. Our companions who live outside Jammu and Kashmir and want to return to their homes on Eid, the government is helping them in all possible ways.
PM Modi: I assure the colleagues of Jammu and Kashmir that gradually the situation will become normal and their troubles will also get reduced. The festival of Eid is also close. The government is taking due steps that the people of Jammu and Kashmir can celebrate the festival without any trouble.
PM Modi: We should also not forget that the patriotic people of Jammu and Kashmir have stood firmly against the Pakistani conspiracies to promote terrorism and separatism.
