New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday talked about Article 370 which was scrapped in 2019 and said it was neither the agenda of the people of Kashmir nor of the country but only of ‘four-five families’. PM Modi went on to say it is a matter of great satisfaction for him that the brothers and sisters in Kashmir came forward to vote with great enthusiasm in the Lok Sabha polls.
“Article 370 was the agenda of only four-five families, it was neither the agenda of the people of Kashmir nor the agenda of the people of the country. For their benefit, they had built such a wall of 370 and used to say that if 370 is removed, there will be a fire…Today it has become true that after the removal of 370, there is a feeling of more unity. The feeling of belongingness is increasing among the people of Kashmir and hence its direct result is also visible in elections, tourism,” PM Modi said.
Feeling of More Unity After Removal of Article 370
In an exclusive interview with ANI, PM Modi said there is a feeling of more unity with the removal of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the feeling of belongingness is increasing and the result is visible in the elections and in the increase in tourism.
It should be noted that the Modi government abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019, months after it came to office for the second successive term.
