In an event in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the union territory as India’s crown.
PM Modi said, “Jammu and Kashmir is the country’s crown. I want this crown to be beautiful and prosperous.”
Prime Minister Modi also paid tribute to the seven people, including labourers, who were killed during a terror attack in that area in October 2024.
PM further said, “First of all, I would like to thank all the brothers who worked in the most difficult circumstances, risking their lives, for the progress of the country and Jammu and Kashmir. Also, seven of our labour colleagues lost their lives but completed this task by overcoming all challenges. Today, I would like to remember the seven colleagues who have lost their lives.”
“As the chief minister (Omar Abdullah) has just told you, I have had a long association with all of you…whenever I come here, I start remembering the days when I worked as a BJP worker. I have spent a lot of time in this area. Sonamarg, Gulmarg or Baramulla, we used to travel several kilometres on foot for hours, and the snowfall was very heavy even then. But the warmth of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is such that we did not feel the cold,” he said.
