Addressing the Nation first time after Article 370 was revoked, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it the beginning of new era. The Prime Minister said that Union Territory status of Jammu and Kashmir is temporary. Accusing the contentious Article 370 and 35A of creating environment of terror and violence in the valley. The Prime Minister added both these articles 370 and 35A were used to encourage anti national sentiments by Pakistan. Because of this 40,000 innocent people lost their lives.
Guaranteeing peace and tranquillity in the valley he said people in Jammu and Kashmir would not face any difficulty in celebrating EID. He congratulated patriotic people of Jammu and Kashmir who stood up against Pakistan's conspiracy of terrorism and separatism.
Should India be extra vigilant on Pakistan's announcement of complete ban on trade?
In Pakistan there was sense of euphoria sometimes back when Imran khan went to U.S. Pakistan thought that President Trump talked of mediation and when U.S talked of getting Taliban on negotiating table, this had turned around their fortune, and they have again come centre stage.
But when India took step of abrogating Article 370 and 35A, U.S said it as internal affairs of India. U.A.E. also said this is internal matter. All the neighbouring countries supported India's stand.
The support of neighbouring countries to India was almost death blow to Pakistan. The opposition itself started saying that Imran Khan had been claiming a lot of things but nothing happened. "Modi has taken Kashmir" this term was used by Pakistan's opposition.
So, Imran Khan had to do certain pretence of doing something that was firstly for the domestic people. Sending back High Commissioners makes no sense. The trade between India and Pakistan had already come down after Pulwama attack because India denied Pakistan most favoured nation (MFN) status. India put 200% duty.
Bulk of the trade between India and Pakistan takes place through third country like through U.A.E., Afghanistan. By snapping trade Pakistan has dug its own Grave.
