Supreme Court’s decision completely constitutional: Amit Shah

New Delhi, Dec 11: Union Home Minister Amit Shah Monday welcomed the Supreme Court’s judgment on Article 370 saying the verdict had proved that the decision to abrogate Article 370 was completely constitutional. Terming the decision as “historic”, Shah said it constitutionally upholds the decision taken by the Parliament.

In a post on X, Shah said, “I welcome the Supreme Court of India's verdict upholding the decision to abolish Article 370. On August 5, 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji took a visionary decision to abrogate Article 370.”

“Since then peace and normalcy have returned to J&K. Growth and development have brought new meaning to human life in the valley once torn by violence. Prosperity in the tourism and agriculture sectors has raised the income levels of the residents of both Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Today, the Supreme Court’s verdict has proved that the decision to abrogate Article 370 was completely constitutional,” the Home Minister added.
