These are same people who can’t govern their own country properly. These people have made hatred against India as a centre of their Politics. These are the people who want unrest. These are the same people who shield terrorism and nurture it. Whole world knows them very well.”

Whole NRG stadium was filled with a great uproar and applauses. As per a person present at the congregation, “who would know the pain of losing someone close due to Terrorism from Pakistan than Indians. Our women were raped, many people killed, our houses and shops burnt, and we were forced to flee Kashmir because of the Pakistan supported Islamist Radicals and the Terrorists. We welcome this statement from both the great leaders. We bless them both and pray the almighty God to make them successful in their fight against the Islamic Radical Terrorism.”

Abrogation of a temporary provision of Article 370 of Indian Constitution

Referring to the, Modi said that this provision was keeping Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh away from development.

Speaking about the amendment in the Indian Constitution and scrapping/abrogation of the temporary provision i.e. article 370 of the Indian constitution on 5-6 August, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Article 370 had deprived people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh of development. Terrorist and separatist elements were misusing the situation. Now after abrogation, people there have got equal rights.” PM Modi said that the Constitution that was for the rest of India was now also for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi further said, “All the discrimination that women, children and Dalits were facing, has been ended by giving “farewell” to Article 370 which allowed terrorism and separatism to rear its head in Jammu and Kashmir.”

Indian PM Modi pointed out that the move to scrap the provision was debated in the upper and lower houses of parliament for hours and the debates involved were telecast live. He noted that the government did not have a majority in the upper house but both houses had passed the measures to abrogate article 370 with two thirds majority.

He asked the congregation to give standing ovation to Indian parliamentarians for repealing Article 370 through Parliamentary action. The crowd readily obliged chanting “Modi, Modi”.

When asked about the significance and import of Modi and Trump attending the Houston event together, Indian foreign minister S Jaishankar last week told reporters: “My sense is, it is not just Pakistan, I think whole world will be watching the Houston event and take lessons about what Indian Americans have achieved, what India and the United States, the state of the relationship today, so I think there are multiple messages there and obviously it is for the Pakistanis to read what they wish to into it and I would say the same applies to other people in the world as well.”

“Today India is challenging the mindset of some people who believe that – nothing can change. Now we are aiming high and we are achieving higher,” said the PM

While saying that his government was not deferring the challenges but was taking them head on, he recited two lines from a poem he wrote. “Ye jo mushqilon ka ambaar hai, wahi to mere hoslon ki minaar hai,” the lines in Hindi when translated mean, “It is this heap of difficulty, which is the pillar of my fortitude.”

The audience of 50,000 is seen as the largest gathering for any foreign leader barring the Pope.

The significance of Modi’s message to Pakistan, given in public and with Trump in the audience, is a direct warning to Pakistan to refrain from sending Terrorists to India and stop interfering in Indian internal affairs.
