New Delhi, 5 Aug (PTI): There was complete clarity in my mind that taking the public in Jammu and Kashmir into confidence was absolutely essential for the execution of the decision,\u201d Prime Minister Narendra Modi says about his government\u2019s decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
The prime minister\u2019s remarks come in the foreword of a new book titled \u201c370: Undoing the Unjust, A New Future for J&K\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted the decision, whenever it would be taken, to happen with concurrence of the people rather than imposition,\u201d he writes in the book, researched and written by non-profit organisation BlueKraft Digital Foundation and published under the Penguin Enterprise imprint.
\nThe book mentions in detail how Modi managed to achieve the goal that he set out for himself.<\/p>\n
The publishers said the book, which is scheduled to release this month, \u201cchronicles, what is inarguably the greatest constitutional feat in India\u2019s history and tells the inside story of how Prime Minister Modi managed the seemingly impossible\u201d.
\nIt \u201cdelves into multiple blunders at the time of independence that culminated into the unjust regimen of Article 370. It discusses the social, political and economic ramifications of Article 370 since its inception in 1949″, a statement by Penguin said on Monday, which marks five years of revocation of Article 370.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sheds light on the historical reluctance to challenge this provision and the eventual paradigm shift brought about by its abrogation in 2019. Through careful examination, it discusses how the government resolved legal complexities and safeguarded against security threats to successfully execute the historic decision,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Replete with anecdotes, the book recounts the events leading to the abrogation and also chronicles the region\u2019s history \u2014 from the ancient to contemporary times.<\/p>\n
The publishers claimed this is the \u201cfirst book of its kind on the Modi government where the actual decision-making process has been documented through interactions with top decision makers including Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u201d.<\/p>\n
