New journey began in J&K after historic abrogation of Article 370, says Dhankhar

The Hindu  

A new journey began in Jammu and Kashmir after the “historic” abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 with the sacred region no longer considered a conflict zone and the hopes of its people soaring high, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Saturday. In an apparent reference to BJP ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Mr. Dhankhar said a great son of the soil once voiced the demand for ‘Ek Desh Mein Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan, Ek Pradhan’ and that dream has been accomplished after the abrogation of Article 370 which granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was a glorifying moment for me in Rajya Sabha when it was declared that more than two crore tourists had been to Jammu and Kashmir.” Dhankhar also said that Jammu and Kashmir, which had the highest voter turnout in 35 years during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, witnessed a 30-point increase in voter participation in the Valley. In just two years, Mr. Dhankhar said Jammu and Kashmir received investment proposals worth Rs 65,000 crore, signalling strong economic interest in the region.
