Srinagar: Stating that the fight against terrorism is in its last stage in Jammu & Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the remnants of terrorism will be eliminated completely from the Union Territory.
Replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address, the Prime Minister, who took oath for the third consecutive time last month, said Jammu & Kashmir has witnessed a huge decline in the number of terrorism-related incidents.
The stone-pelting, shutdowns, threats, bomb blasts, and other related incidents were overshadowing democracy in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
“The situation has changed now as stone-pelting incidents hardly take place. Our fight against terrorism and separatism is ending and is in its last stage. We are heading towards eliminating terrorism completely,” Modi said, adding that the people of Jammu & Kashmir have been extending complete support in ensuring the elimination of terrorism from the soil.
The PM added that the recent Lok Sabha polls held in Jammu and Kashmir witnessed a massive poll percentage, the highest in the last four decades. “Such an outcome is not confined to pressing the buttons, but the people have put their faith in the Constitution of India,” he said while congratulating the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their unwavering faith in the Constitution and taking their decisions on their own.
Notably, the Prime Minister made a statement on Jammu and Kashmir for the second consecutive day.
Earlier on Tuesday, he said India can go to any extent to protect the nation and it was the BJP government that entered enemy territory to carry out surgical strikes and airstrikes, teaching the mentors of terrorism a lesson.
The Prime Minister said that Article 370 was used for vote-bank politics by the J&K parties and BJP broke this wall forever to pave the way for the entry of the Indian Constitution in the region.
Modi visited Jammu and Kashmir on June 21, 2024, where he mentioned that preparations for assembly polls in Jammu & Kashmir had started and would be held soon. He also announced the restoration of statehood soon—(KNO)
