New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again hailed the decision of the Supreme Court to hold valid the Centre’s 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370, removing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
In an opinion piece in the Indian Express, the Prime Minister said the top court has further emboldened the spirit of “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat”. He said the dreams of people would no longer be the “prisoners of the past” and would be all about the “possibilities for the future”.
“In its verdict on December 11, the Supreme Court has strengthened the spirit of “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat”. It has reminded us that what define us are bonds of unity and a shared commitment to good governance. Today, every child in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is born with a clean canvas, where he or she can paint a future full of vibrant aspirations. Today, the dreams of the people are no longer prisoners of the past but about possibilities for the future. After all, development, democracy and dignity have replaced disillusionment, disappointment and despondency,” the PM wrote.
