A day after the Supreme Court affirmed the central government’s decision to revoke special status from Jammu and Kashmir and divide it into union territories by abrogating Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauds the verdict, stating that it has “strengthened the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.”
In an article, PM Modi emphasizes the court’s reinforcement of unity and shared commitment to good governance. The five-judge Constitution Bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, validates the President’s 2019 order, asserting that not every central government move can be legally challenged and reaffirming Jammu and Kashmir as an integral part of India.
Court has upheld the sovereignty: PM Modi
PM Modi further stated, “Through its judgment, the court has upheld the sovereignty and integrity of India, something that is cherished by every Indian. The court rightly observed that the decision taken on August 5, 2019 was done with the purpose of enhancing constitutional integration and not disintegration.”
“Sadly, Jammu and Kashmir became a big victim of such a mindset. At the time of Independence, we had a choice of making a fresh start for national integration. Instead, we decided to continue with the confused-society approach even if it meant ignoring the long-term national interests,” he stated.
PM Narendra Modi, also mentioned that “It was always my firm belief that what had happened in Jammu and Kashmir was a great betrayal” to our nation and to the people living there”.
PM Modi added that the condition of northernmost part of the country has changed for positive since 2019, “Today, the dreams of the people are no longer prisoners of the past but are possibilities of the future. After all, development, democracy, and dignity have replaced disillusionment, disappointment and despondency.”
