Article 370 Verdict: Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the opposition following the SC Verdict upholding the cancellation of Jammu Kashmir's special powers. He said that no power in the universe can bring back Article 370. The Supreme Court has confirmed that there cannot be two legislations in one country. The abrogation of Article 370 is more important to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh than any politics. He added that it was necessary for the development of Jammu and Kashmir and the smooth life of the people. The Prime Minister's response was given in an interview to a newspaper.

The common people of Jammu and Kashmir are not a part of any selfish politics or want to be. He said that they want to overcome the problems of the past and secure the future and present of their children without any discrimination like a common citizen of the country.


 'The picture of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh has changed'


Prime Minister Modi claimed that the image of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh has changed after the abrogation of Article 370. Now cinema theaters are functioning there. There are no terrorists there. Now there is a tourist fair going on. Now there is no stone. Movies are being shot. To those who are still confused about Article 370 by political expediency, I want to say frankly - no power in the universe can bring back Article 370," Modi said.


Amit Shah on Article 370


 Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said in Parliament that history will remember the decision taken by our government regarding Article 370. Article 370 fueled separatism. That is why terrorism has risen. Our government has given laptops in the hands of youths who were roaming around with stones in Jammu and Kashmir. Let's make decisions. Can't run away. He added that when the time is right, elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir and statehood will be given at the right time.


 Earlier, following the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir was reorganized into two Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Four years later, the Supreme Court ruled that the exercise of power by the President was not wrong. A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud ruled that the President's 2019 order revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was valid. The Supreme Court also ruled that the Election Commission (EC) should take steps to hold assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30, 2024. The court also directed that the state status of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir be restored as soon as possible. The judgment was delivered by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Gavai and Justice Suryakant. Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sanjiv Khanna are the other members of the bench.
