New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir that they will get to choose their elected representatives soon. In a special address to the nation, the PM said the union territory status for the newly-carved out region of J&K will only be temporary in nature except for the Ladakh region.
He said the decision to keep J&K directly under Central administration for a brief period was a well thought over decision. Since Governor rule was implemented in J&K, the state administration has been directly in touch with the Centre due to which the effects of good governance can be seen on the ground.
This is the first time the PM spoke about the abrogation of Artice 370 since the Presidential assent and passage of legislation by Parliament to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir.
