The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi while addressing the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2023 on Saturday stated that Kashmir was witnessing a positive change following the revocation of Article 370 in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir by his government in 2019.
“Pictures of Lal Chowk have shown how Jammu & Kashmir is changing. Today, terrorism is ending in the Union Territory and tourism is growing continuously. We are committed to taking Jammu and Kashmir to new heights”, he said.
Stating previous governments exaggerated several problems for political gains about the country, Modi referred to Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir as one such example, saying that earlier, psychological pressure was created to make everyone believe it could not be revoked.
He continued that its abrogation has paved the way for progress and peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Prime Minister Modi during his speech recited a line from writer and politician Allama Iqbal’s ghazal ‘Sitaron Ke Aage Jahan Aur Bhi Hain’, and said that India will not stop just yet.
Concluding the address, the Prime Minister remarked that the biggest strength of every Indian is self-confidence. “With its strength, we can cross any barrier”, he said.
He concluded by expressing the belief that the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit in 2047 will have the theme – Developed Nation, What Next?
