Kashmir is on lockdown, but Modi touts its investment potential

Al Jazeera  

Modi says revoking Kashmir’s special status paves the way for economic development. New Delhi, India – A few days after Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was eradicated, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that the now-abolished Article 370 of India’s constitution – the provision that had guaranteed special rights to Muslim-majority J&K – had also hampered its economic development. “I don’t see any way in which Article 370 can be linked to the economy of J&K,” he told Al Jazeera. “If J&K’s economy has not developed faster than it could have, it is on account of other factors.” Drabu, who is also a former head of Jammu and Kashmir Bank, a private-sector financial institution that carries out banking for the central government, noted that Modi’s administration has invested less in J&K than other regions. “I noticed an absence of jubilation in Modi’s speech on Article 370 as he said that the rest of India must contribute to the development of the ‘reorganised’ J&K,” said Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, author of several books on Modi and the RSS.
