JAMMU, Dec 23: Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today said Jammu and Kashmir has suffered development deficit due to terror and cross-border militancy and has spoiled the prospects of an entire generation of bright local youth and, without naming Pakistan, charged the neighbouring country with encouraging terrorism to damage our country.
Addressing the students from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the two newly created Union Territories after bifurcation of the erstwhile State of J&K at Uprashtrapati Bhawan in the Union capital this morning, Naidu said abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India (which granted special status to the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir) must be seen as the redemption of Jammu and Kashmir on the path of progress.
