Towards
The dream of One Nation, One
law, One symbol fulfilled
Article 370 abolished, the gap of 6 decades ends in
6 years
Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukhejee's resolution of “One
nation, One Law and One Head of the nation,
One symbol” was fulfilled after 72 years of
independence. After the abolition of article 370 and
35A, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which are
called heaven on earth, are also marching on the
path of development.
This has brought real integration of Jammu and
Kashmir. The entire region was divided into two
Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir (with
legislature) and Ladakh without legislature due to
special circumstances.
The 70-year-old demand of Ladakh has been
fulfilled by passing the State Reorganization Bill
by the Parliament. Now Jammu and Kashmir
and Ladakh moving towards socio-economic
empowerment, Native Law came into force, local
people got democratic rights.
“Articles 370 and 35A gave nothing to J&K
except terrorism, separatism, familism, and
corruption. Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh did
not develop at the pace they deserved. Now by
removing this biased system, the condition of
the people of this area will not only improve, but
their future will also be secure.

PRIME MINISTER MODI'S FIRST VISIT
TO JAMMU AND KASHMIR SINCE THE
ABROGATION OF ARTICLE 370
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the
Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir
for the first time on 24 April since the
abrogation of Article 370. During his visit, he
inaugurated and laid the foundation stone
of projects worth Rs 20 thousand crores. He
took the opportunity to give a message that
in 25 years of Amritkal, a new Jammu and
Kashmir will write a new development story.
For seven decades of independence, private
investment of only Rs 17 thousand crores
could be made in Jammu and Kashmir
but in the last two years, it is Rs 38,000
crore…private companies and investors
are coming here now. The development
of India is hidden in the mantra of Vocal
for Local, so the power of development
of Indian democracy is also in the local
governance i.e. Panchayati Raj system. The
scope of work may be local, but its collective
impact is going to be global. This is the
reason why the power of Panchayats is
constantly being expanded. During his visit
on the occasion of Panchayati Raj Day, he
distributed SVAMITVA cards, launched the
Amrit Sarovar initiative, and dedicated Jan
Aushadhi Kendras. The celebration of
Panchayati Raj Day in Jammu and
Kashmir marks a major
change.
