Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the decision to scrap Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir has been taken after a great deal of thought. The Centre moved forward with it for the benefit of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the move will help create three necessary conditions for investment- stability, market assess and predictable laws.
The Prime Minister also said that better avenues of education like IIT, IIM and AIIMS will not only give more educational opportunities to the youth but also give the region a better workforce. He said projects related to roads, new rail lines and modernisation of the airports are being accelerated.
