Invoking BJP’s ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee, President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday said the rapid development of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh are among the priorities of the central government. He said the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution by a two-thirds majority in both the Houses of Parliament is not only historic but has also paved the way for the equitable development of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. “Through this House, I heartily congratulate the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh for joining the mainstream of development,” Kovind said addressing the joint sitting of the two houses of Parliament.
