External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar defended the repeal of Article 370 on Thursday, claiming that the world now understands the reasoning behind it since India has been kept off-balance for a considerable amount of time by the provision.
We fixed it at home because the entire world had been using Article 370 against India to keep us off balance. We put a lot of effort into explaining to the outside world why we abrogated Article 370. When asked how the administration handled the situation diplomatically, he responded in a news conference, “Now, people think it is not a live issue anymore. He continued by saying that, in addition to doing so, the administration also battled other false narratives that came from within the nation.
Soon after coming to power in 2019 for the second time, the NDA government abrogated Article 370 on August 5 that year and turned Jammu and Kashmir into a union territory. Besides, Ladakh was also turned into a separate union territory.
