PM Modi's editorial after Supreme Court's decision on Article 370, read big things

Narendra Modi. 

The Supreme Court gave a historic verdict on the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A. In its decision it upheld the sovereignty and integrity of India, which has always been cherished by every Indian.

PM Modi wrote, "Today the dreams of the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are not dependent on the past, but on the possibilities of the future"

The Supreme Court is absolutely right in saying that the decision taken on 5 August 2019 was taken with the aim of enhancing constitutional integration and not with the aim of disintegration. He also admitted that the nature of Article 370 was not permanent. The beautiful and serene valleys and snow-clad mountains of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have been mesmerizing every Indian for generations, but for many decades, many places in Jammu and Kashmir have witnessed violence and instability that is unimaginable. 

At the time of independence the then political leadership had the option of making a fresh start for national unity, but instead decided to continue with the confused approach. This led to the neglect of national interests. I always had the belief that Jammu and Kashmir was not a political issue, but about fulfilling the aspirations of the society. Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee could have remained in the Nehru cabinet, yet he left the cabinet over the Kashmir issue and chose the difficult path ahead. He had to pay the price for this with his life, but due to his sacrifice, crores of Indians got emotionally connected to the Kashmir issue. Similarly, the effective message of ‘Insaniyat’, ‘Jamhooriyat’ and ‘Kashmiriyat’ given by Atal ji has always been a source of inspiration.

What happened in Jammu and Kashmir was a major betrayal of the nation and its people. Article 370 and 35-A were like big obstacles for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Due to these articles, distances were created between the people of the same nation. I was very clear that the people of Jammu and Kashmir want a life for their children, free from violence and uncertainty. While serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir, we have given priority to three things – understanding the concerns of the citizens, building mutual trust through the actions of the government and giving priority to continuous development.

Devastating floods hit Kashmir in 2014, causing widespread damage in the valley. In September 2014, I visited Srinagar to assess the situation and announced Rs 1,000 crore as special assistance. This sent a message that our government is sensitive towards helping the people there. I got the opportunity to meet the people of Jammu and Kashmir. During this period, one common thing emerged that people not only want development but also want freedom from the corruption that has been prevalent for decades. That year, I decided not to celebrate Diwali and stay there, in memory of those who lost their lives in Jammu and Kashmir. To further strengthen the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir, more than 150 visits of Union Ministers took place between May 2014 and March 2019. This is a record. The Special Package of 2015 was an important step towards meeting the development needs of Jammu and Kashmir.

India's aid to Turkiye and Syria a humanitarian strategic initiative.

The earthquake in Turkiye and Syria shook the whole world. Such earthquakes have also stirred many times in neighboring countries like Iran, Afghanistan and Nepal, but in the current earthquake, about 10,000 people have died and lakhs of people have been injured. The number of people rendered homeless is even larger. Let's hope no more shocks come. Army officials prior to leaving in the Indian Air Force (IAF) C-17 Globe Master aircraft for earthquake hit Turkiye | Photo: ANI Turkey had strongly opposed the steps taken by the Indian government regarding Kashmir. He had also tried to provoke other Muslim countries on the question of Kashmir, while countries like Saudi Arabia had called this issue an internal matter of India, but at this time, the Indian government has opened the doors of humanity by ignoring the religious passion of Turkey. It has sent about 100 doctors and nurses to Ankara and Istanbul in four charter ships each. It has also dispatched a large number of ...

The dispute between the party and the opposition, while remaining within the limits.

The opposition is adamant on its demand that the Home Minister should give a statement in case of breach in the security of Parliament, while the ruling party is underlining that the responsibility of security inside the Parliament lies with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and in such a situation, the demand for the statement of the Home Minister is justified. No. It would have been better if the parties and the opposition had talked to each other and tried to find a middle path in this matter. It is not right that the opposition's uproar continues regarding the breach in the security of Parliament. Due to this uproar, more than 140 opposition MPs have been suspended from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This is a record number. The suspension of such a large number of MPs knowingly or unknowingly sent out the message that the ruling party is not ready to listen and understand the opposition, but the fact cannot be ignored that the MPs of the opposition parties who are demanding Home Minist...
