My Open Letter To PM Modi: Kudos on Kashmir, PM. But beware too for our hostile neighbour will not back off So Soon dailyo.in

In the last 70 years, successive Congress governments diluted Article 370 — but it was not fully scrapped. I also believe that the step you have taken now should have been taken long back. I also believe that had Mrs. Indira Gandhi lived longer, she would have taken a similar decision in due course of time that you took in both Kashmir and India’s interest. So, credit must be given to you for your decisive move. Ladakh, which has a majority Buddhist population, has been demanding a separate administrative set-up for a long time. So, with this decision, the people of Ladakh can heave a sigh of true relief.
