Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir want a change, including Article 35A and Article 370 as they hinder development.
In an exclusive interview with News18 Network Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, PM Modi said: “The problem in Kashmir is largely due to the 50-odd political families there. They have been milking the issue. They don't want any benefit to be given to the common Kashmiri people. They are using public sentiment for political gains. The Income Tax Department has cracked down on such elements.”
He added that people of Kashmir want freedom from "political families".
