"Our fight against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, in a way, is in last stage, last leg. We are moving with a multi-pronged strategy to eliminate the remaining terror network there," Modi said.
Replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President's address, the prime minister said that during the past several decades, shutdowns, strikes, terrorist threats and attempts to carry out bomb blasts have been kind of a dark shadow on democracy.
"This time people have decided their fate with unwavering faith in the Constitution. I especially congratulate the voters of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
"They accept the Constitution of India, the democracy of India, the Election Commission of India. This is a huge success," he said.

Modi emphasizes advancements and electoral successes in Jammu and Kashmir
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted significant developments in Jammu and Kashmir during his address. He mentioned a notable increase in tourism, setting new records, and a rise in investments. PM Modi also pointed out that voter turnout in the recent Lok Sabha elections is expected to exceed levels seen in the last forty years.
He reflected on the decision made by the BJP-led NDA government in August 2019 to revoke Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir and resulted in its division into the Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir. According to him, these reforms have paved the way for unprecedented growth and electoral participation in the region, marking a transformative phase in its socio-economic landscape.
