Ambedkar must be blessing me for abrogation of Article 370: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 10 launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, rubbishing claims that democracy and the Constitution would be in danger if he secured a third term as Prime Minister.

Mr. Modi said abrogation of Article 370 ensured the uniform application of the statute book across the country. “They [the Congress] previously did the same during [late] Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. Wasn’t democracy in peril when the Emergency was imposed? They are trying to fool the nation in the name of the Constitution,” he said.

At a rally in Kanhan, Nagpur district, Mr. Modi said Babasaheb Ambedkar’s soul must be blessing him for abrogating Article 370.
