People are really happy after the abrogation of Article 370. They are coming forward to support the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
Earlier on Saturday, Reddy had said that Pakistan wanted Jammu and Kashmir to be vulnerable. However, he added that the government was taking all precautionary measures.
"The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is normal and it is improving day-by-day as we have taken all the precautionary measures in the region. We get provocative statements from Pakistan and they want the situation in the state to be vulnerable.

Announcement on abrogation of Article 370 was made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Rajya Sabha, triggering a big political debate across the country. Prior to the announcement, the government had taken several precautionary measures to avoid any untoward incident.
Several paramilitary personnel from across the country were airlifted and taken to the Valley, which currently is under an unprecedented security cover.
The debate and voting on the issue in Parliament saw party lines blurring, with several opposition leaders also backing the government over the issue. |
