Article 370 Decision:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed the Supreme Court's verdict on the restoration of Article 370 in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the verdict is not merely a decision but rather a 'resounding declaration of hope, progress and unity for our sisters and brothers in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.'

The Supreme Court on Monday pronounced that Article 370 was a temporary provision while terming the abrogation as constitutional.

While terming the decision as historic, he said that 'the Court, in its profound wisdom, has fortified the very essence of unity that we, as Indians, hold dear and cherish above all else.' Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the social media website 'X' to express his feelings on the Supreme Court's much-awaited decisions.

Notably, the abrogation of Article 370 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir had been one of the most important 'promises' in the arsenal of the ruling party. Bhartiya Janta Party has for long maintained the motto of 'Ek Rashtra, Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan' (‘One nation, one mark, one constitution’).

PM further assured the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh of the commitments to progress of the region. He also said that the decision will further ensure that the benefits reach the most vulnerable and marginalised sections of society.

"I want to assure the resilient people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh that our commitment to fulfilling your dreams remains unwavering. We are determined to ensure that the fruits of progress not only reach you but also extend their benefits to the most vulnerable and marginalised sections of our society who suffered due to Article 370," the PM added.

The decisions which were pronounced by a SC bench comprising CJI DY Chandrachud, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai and Surya Kant, came four years after the separate constitution of the state was repealed through four acts of parliament. Prime Minister also hailed the judgment as a 'beacon of hope.'
