On December 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  visited  X to share  some  thoughts on  Article 370 and Article 35(A). The Prime Minister  welcomed  the Supreme Court verdict  upholding the Centre’s decision to  abrogate  Article 370 in  2019, speaking on  X and said  the Supreme Court verdict has  strengthened  constitutional integration. He  added that  this  has also strengthened the bond of  solidarity  among the people of India.

  Prime Minister  Modi  then  penned  down some  thoughts on the  matter  and  wrote: “The  breathtaking landscapes, serene  valleys  and majestic mountains  of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh  have captivated the hearts of poets, artists and  explorers across  generations. It is  where the sublime meets the extraordinary, where the Himalayas reach for the  sky  and  the  crystal-clear  waters of  lakes and rivers  reflect  the  sky. Yet over  the  past  seven decades, these places have witnessed the worst  forms  of violence and  unrest,  something  these  wonderful people never  deserved. some society. Instead  of  having  a clear  view  on  the  very  basics,  we  have  allowed duality, leading to confusion.  

Unfortunately,  Jammu and Kashmir  has become  a big victim of such  thinking. When we gained  independence, we  chose to start  a  new beginning for the cause  of  national integration. Instead, we decided to continue with  a socially  confused  approach,  even if it meant ignoring the long-term national  interest.  I belong to an  ideology in which  Jammu and Kashmir  is  not  just  a political  issue but also a matter of fulfilling  the aspirations of society. Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee held an important portfolio in the Nehru  cabinet  and could have  stayed  in  the  government for a long time.  However,  he  left  the Cabinet over the Kashmir issue and  chose a more difficult path,  even if it  cost him  his  life. 

 “His efforts and  sacrifices made millions  of Indians  emotionally attached  to  the Kashmir issue. Years later, Atal Ji,  in  a public meeting in  Srinagar,  gave the  message  strong on  ‘Insaniyat’, ‘Jamhooriyat’ and  ‘Kashmiriyat’, the messages are  also always  there The Prime Minister added, this is  a  great  source of  inspiration.  

  I have  always  firmly believed  that what  happened in Jammu and Kashmir was a great  betrayal of  our  country  and  the people  who live  there. It  is  also my strong desire to do  everything in my power  to  erase  this  stain,  this injustice  caused  to the people. I have always wanted to  make efforts  to alleviate the suffering of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.  Simply put,  Articles 370 and  35(A) look  like  huge  obstacles. It  looks  like an unbreakable wall and the  victims are  the poor and  oppressed.  

Articles 370 and 35(A)  ensure  that the people of Jammu and Kashmir  will  never  enjoy  the  same  rights and development  as  the rest of their  Indian countrymen. Thanks  to these  articles, the gap  between people  of  the same  ethnicity was created.  Due to this  gap,  many people from our  country  who wanted to  make efforts  to  resolve  the problems of Jammu and Kashmir were  not able  to do  so,  even  though  they clearly felt the pain of the people  of this region.  

 As a Karyakarta who has  closely observed  the  problem  over the  past  several decades, I  have  a  deep  understanding of the specifics and  complexity  of the  problem. However,  I  have made  one  thing very clear:  the people of Jammu and Kashmir want development and  want to contribute to  India’s  development  based on their strengths and skills. They also want  their children to have  a better quality of  life,  a life  without  violence  or instability.  

  So,  while serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir, we  have put  three  pillars first:  understanding  the concerns  of the  people,  building trust through supportive  actions  and  prioritizing  development,  develop  and  develop further.
