NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, Aug 15 (TIWN): Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing from the Red Fort to the nation took a political jibe at the opposition specially those who tried to stop the removal of Article 370. PM said, it will now help a J&K person to directly talk to the centre and nothing will come in the middle. “The previous Governments tried to do in favour of development but due to certain reasons they could not be succeeded and as a result new thinking became important. As removal of Tin Talak was important just like India earlier stopped Sati Pratha and Bal Bibah, in the same way article action on 370, 35 A were equally importantâ€. “Due to political reasons, our Govt don’t delay the issues, neither nurture the problems. What could not be done in last 70 years it didn’t happen, before 70 days of the new Govt we have done itâ€. The PM further slammed “algawad†and “terrorism†stressing mandatory thought for One Nation, one Constitution.

Article 370 and 35A being revoked from Jammu and Kashmir is a step towards realising the dream of Sardar Patel."
