Every Indian stands with people of J&K and Ladakh: PM Modi |
One of the biggest decisions taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the first 75 days of his government is undoubtedly the unshackling of Jammu and Kashmir so that there is better integration and mobility and the faux concept of dual citizenship is scrapped once and for all.In what was not just a political but a diplomatic masterstroke as well, the Prime Minister, who has been obsessed with resolving the Kashmir imbroglio, hit his straps very early on in his second avatar using the heft of his mandate to prise through the contentious issue. IANS began by asking him about his decision on Article 370 which has been welcomed by many and also been opposed by a few. A fusillade of posers followed. There seems to be an uneasy calm at the moment. Why do you think the people of J&K will stand with you?Unflinchingly, as his wont and style, PM Modi responded unequivocally: “Please see the list of people who have opposed the decisions about Kashmir – the usual vested interest groups, political dynasties, those who sympathize with terror and some friends in the Opposition.The people of India, irrespective of what their political preference, have supported the steps taken in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. This is about the nation, not politics.
