Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the abrogation of Article 370 has brought an end to the era of terrorism and separatism in Kashmir. He highlighted that the article had been a major obstacle in the path of Kashmir's full integration with India.

Since its repeal on August 5, 2019, Kashmir has seen a significant reduction in terrorism-related incidents and a resurgence in cultural and developmental activities. Shah underscored the Modi government's role in dismantling the 'ecosystem of terrorism' and fostering peace in the valley.

He further mentioned that the successful and peaceful conduct of local body elections has boosted democratic participation, while tourism and cultural activities are once again thriving in the region. The book 'Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh: Through the Ages' supports these claims by documenting historical integrative efforts.
