New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday marked seven years since the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, describing August 5, 2019, as a historic milestone in India’s journey toward inclusive development. In a post on X, the Prime Minister said Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh have witnessed significant progress over the past seven years, with major improvements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and sports.

He stated that the full implementation of the Indian Constitution has empowered women and marginalized communities who had long been deprived of several constitutional rights.
