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.
