Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that his government neither nurses problems nor keeps them pending and referred to the scrapping of Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying India now is one nation with one constitution.

Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Delhi on the 73rd Independence Day, he said that within 10 weeks of assuming power, his government has taken key decisions such as bringing a new law to ban the practice of instant triple talaq and scrapping provisions of Article 370 and Article 35-A related to Jammu and Kashmir.

"Our government does not delay decisions. We neither nurse problems nor keep them pending," he said while referring to Article 370.
