PM Modi Calls Article 370 Abrogation a 'Decisive New Chapter' on Its Anniversary

On August 5, 2019, the Indian Parliament revoked Article 370, which had granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Today, on the 12th anniversary of that decision, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the people of the state, calling the abrogation a "decisive new chapter" for the region. He highlighted that the move has paved the way for greater integration, development and security in the Union Territory. Modi’s remarks were delivered during a ceremony in Jammu and Kashmir, where officials and residents gathered to commemorate the historic change.
