New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the abrogation of Article 370 and said that today’s verdict has proved that the decision by the government was completely constitutional.
In his post on X, Amit Shah said “I welcome the Supreme Court of India’s verdict upholding the decision to abolish #Article370. On the 5th of August 2019, PM Narendra Modi Ji took a visionary decision to abrogate #Article370. Since then peace and normalcy have returned to J&K. Growth and development have brought new meaning to human life in the valley once torn by violence. Prosperity in the tourism and agriculture sectors has raised the income levels of the residents of both Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.”

“Today, the Supreme Court’s verdict has proved that the decision to abrogate #Article370 was completely constitutional,” he added.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had presented the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2019 in both houses.
While presenting the bill at that time, Amit Shah had said “Most members spoke on a technicality. Some said it was India’s promise, commitment etc. but no one said how Jammu and Kashmir or Ladakh is being benefited by Article 370. I want to say that Article 370 has harmed people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Shah said while responding to the discussion on scrapping Article 370 in Rajya Sabha.”
“Due to (articles) 370 and 35A, corruption increased and reached its pinnacle. We feel pain in seeing the underdeveloped status of Jammu and Kashmir. Article 370 prohibits the development of Jammu and Kashmir. This is the root of terrorism and Article 370 is anti-women, anti-Dalit and anti-development”, he added.
