One Nation, One constitution: PM Modi
In the political alleys of India, some kept opposing the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A. Now they are being asked if this was so important, why did you not make it permanent in the last 70 years? They keep saying what has happened is wrong but did they have any solutions? No. During the difficult times of independence, people like Vallabhai Patel took very tough and valiant decisions. But because of Article 370, there emerged problems. Today, as I address the nation, I can say that every citizen can proudly say it is one nation one constitution.
