JAMMU: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the decision to transform Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory is "temporary" and the BJP-led government will restore the statehood to the region.
Launching a scathing attack on the Opposition Congress, National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he accused them of 'inflicting wounds' on the people by depriving them of their rights.
The prime minister said it is the BJP, which has ended discrimination and is providing balm on the wounds of the victims of the three families.
Addressing a massive election rally at M A M Stadium in the heart of Jammu a day before the conclusion of campaigning for the final phase of the Assembly polls on October 1, Modi said the decision to transform Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory is temporary.
"BJP is the only party which will restore statehood to the region," he reiterated.
Escalating his attack, the prime minister said the "Congress, NC and PDP are annoyed by the changes in Jammu and Kashmir because they do not like your development".
"They are saying they will form the government to revive the old system – the same discriminatory approach which led Jammu to be the biggest sufferer," he added.
