He said that this advancement marks the initiation of a new digital era, which will trigger major changes in Indian politics.
He said that with the change in weather and temperature of Muzzaffarabad and other areas shows that Pakistan is trying to play its mischievous plots, but, all such acts are being given a befitting reply by our brave army jawans.
He said that may be soon people of PoK would reject Pakistan and come to the side with India.

“Today, we have the real Kashmiriyat which also involves Baba Amarnath Barfani and a blend of other cultures as well,” he added.
Singh said that BJP has a nature of presenting a report card after 1 year of its government and as such the digital rallies were planned so as to follow all the guidelines relating to corona advisories. He said that many developed and strong nations of the world have failed before the corona pandemic, but we restricted it in very initial stages itself with the strong decision taken by our worthy Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the lockdown saved many lakh precious lives, which was praised all over the world, including the WHO.
Rajnath said that the other political parties used to taunt BJP that Article 370, Shree Ram Mandir are only election gimmicks for BJP, but now we have proved that we do what we promise.
He said that earlier, political parties here used to have difference between promises and their deliveries, but BJP has established that the political parties can fulfill their poll promises.
Rajnath said that India has emerged as one of the strongest nations in the world now, even generating massive support from almost all the Muslim nations except a few.
He also said that WPR, PoJK residents have got their rights now. IB residents have got reservation now adding that bunkers along the LoC and IB have been made. Panchayats are stronger now, only because of the BJP.
Questioning the Congress for its pseudo-secularism, Rajnath pointed out that while the term “secular” was applied to the whole of India by adding amendments to the constitution, but then why was J&K not made “secular” by the Congress. Congress was never a “secular” party, he insisted.
Dr Jatinder Singh said that with the grit of the BJP, J&K has seen historic moments on 5th and 6th August, 2019. He said that many people tried to scare the order, in order to prevent what was inevitable. But, after the removal of Article 370 and 35A, it was for the first time in history that every festival passed of smoothly without any fear of bloodshed. He also dared the Congress to say that it has the guts to bring back Article 370. He said that Congress never spoke on the killings of innocent Kashmiri Pandits but was concerned with only playing its dirty politics.
Dr Singh spoke on the various landmark developments like PMGSY, AIIMS, Biotech Park, FDI, Medicine project in IIIM, when he said that the step motherly treatment meted out to the Jammu region has ended now. He stressed that 370 will never return and we must focus on issues of development now.
