Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently intensified his criticism of the Congress party over their support for Article 370, which previously granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing a crowd, PM Modi asserted that “anti-India forces support Article 370,” suggesting that its reinstatement could compromise national security and unity.
PM Modi highlighted his government’s actions to abrogate Article 370 as a historic step towards integrating Kashmir fully into India, emphasizing the BJP’s commitment to equal rights and opportunities for the region’s residents. His remarks aim to present the Congress party’s stance as regressive, positioning the BJP as the party of progress and national unity.
This statement comes as a response to the Congress’s criticism of BJP’s policies in Kashmir. Modi’s rhetoric serves to reinforce BJP’s narrative that Article 370 hindered Kashmir’s development and allowed separatist sentiments to grow. The political exchange on this issue reflects the high-stakes nature of Kashmir’s integration and BJP’s strategy to strengthen its appeal by emphasizing nationalistic values.
