Cong Leaders' Statements On J&K Have Helped Pakistan: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, saying that the statements made by its leaders on Jammu and Kashmir were being used by Pakistan to strengthen its position on the issue globally. “Whenever we talk of Swachch Bharat, surgical strike or Balakot strike, the Congress starts jumping in pain. The statements of Congress leaders on Kashmir please Pakistan, who uses it to strengthen its case on Kashmir. What kind of chemistry is this,” asked Prime Minister Modi while addressing an election rally here.

Speaking about the abrogation of Article 370, Prime Minister Modi said the Central government’s decision removed the biggest obstacle that Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh were facing in their development. “We did something that the country had lost the hope about. On August 5, we removed the biggest obstacle, which was hindering the development of Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh,” he said.
