Article 370 revoked: Iqbal Khan, Ekta Kaul, Mohit Raina and other TV celebs laud the move

The government has decided to revoke the Article 370, which granted special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, moving ahead with its plan to fundamentally change J&K’s relation to India. It will no longer grant special status to J&K. While Kashmir born TV actors are hailing this move, many other TV celebs have also reacted to this landmark judgement. Take a look

The Kashmir born actor says, “I don’t know whether it’s a good move or a bad move so soon. All I want to say is bringing peace to the land is more important. I hope and pray that peace should be the primary motive. It is very easy to say ‘Kashmir hamara hai’, but ‘Kashmiri bhi toh hamare hai’? I just hope this land becomes a home for them.” Photo: Instagram

Raised in Jammu, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev actor Mohit Raina says, “Today is a historical day in the Indian constitution. This was long pending, the common man in the valley has been deprived of all his basic rights i.e education and employment. This movement will only get Kashmir in the forefront for all the right reasons, the investors will create numerous job opportunities for the common man which will in turn boost economy of the state and the youth will not fall prey to people with malicious intentions. This will indirectly reduce violence in valley. After the sacrifice of lakhs of Indian soldiers and innocent people for the last 30 years today, thanks to our honourable Prime Minister, we have witnessed this historic day. Jai Hind."

A Kashmiri Pandit by birth, Ekta Kaul says, “After marriage I had learnt about certain things I couldn’t do or be a part of and that used to bother me. Things had changed drastically. I always wanted to buy a piece of land or a property and go back there whenever I wanted to. But suddenly everything changed after marriage because I wasn’t a part of the state anymore. Now I am hopeful that things will change.” Photo: Instagram

I’m convinced that this is a new beginning and hereon, life and business in the valley will only improve. #Article370Scrapped #Kashmir.

The Shararat actress expressed her happiness saying, “As a Kashmiri, born and raised outside Kashmir I wasn’t allowed to buy land or property in Kashmir. How ridiculous was that!
