Terrorism breathing its last in Jammu and Kashmir : Prime Minister

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, addresses doda district on the occasion of the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.

Doda (Jammu and Kashmir) – “There used to be an undeclared curfew in Jammu and Kashmir, day, and night. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir was so dire that even the Home Minister of the then Congress Government was afraid to visit Lal Chowk in Kashmir. Over the last 10 years, there has been a significant change in this situation, and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is now breathing its last,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi here. This is the first rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the announcement of elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Given this, heavy Police security has been deployed in Doda.

The Prime Minister further said :

1. The stones that were once thrown at soldiers are now being used for reconstruction in Jammu and Kashmir.

2. The Congress, National Congress, and PDP—these three families have together hollowed (ruined) Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, this election in Jammu and Kashmir is between the three families and the youth.

3. BJP’s priority is to protect the rights of every person of any caste or religion living in Jammu and Kashmir.
