"To keep their grip on people, these parties created a demon, saying that if Article 370 is removed, Jammu and Kashmir would burn and it would break away from the country," PM Modi said.
Yesterday, Pakistan dismissed the Indian Supreme Court's verdict upholding the abrogation of Article 370 as having "no legal value," emphasizing that international law does not recognize India's "unilateral and illegal actions" of August 5, 2019.
Shah welcomed the verdict, stating that since the visionary decision by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 5, 2019, to revoke Article 370, peace and normalcy had returned to Jammu and Kashmir.
A five-judge Constitution bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, and Surya Kant delivered the verdict.
