NEW DELHI: Following the scrapping of Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav tweeted an undated photo of a young Narendra Modi with a background banner which read 'Remove 370, end terrorism...' . Madhav captioned the photo 'Promise fulfilled'. The photo has gone viral on social media.

Showering praise on the Modi government for its decision, Madhav earlier had tweeted, "What a glorious day. Finally d martyrdom of thousands starting with Dr Shyam Prasad Mukharjee for compete integration of J&K into Indian Union is being honoured and d seven decade old demand of d entire nation being realised in front of our eyes; in our life time. Ever imagined?"

Massive troop movement in Kashmir, cancellation of the Amarnath Yatra, evacuation of tourists and finally putting state leaders under house arrest, was done to prepare the ground for today’s announcement. Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir were also made Union Territories. The Centre acted intelligently to pre-empt any possible instances of violence or arson in Kashmir after the announcement.

From internet services to landlines, all communication links were jammed in the Valley, ahead of the big announcement. Prominent local politicians like Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah were put under house arrest in order to prevent them making provocative public speeched.

Scrapping Article 370 of the Constitution has been one of the main agendas of the BJP, reiterated in all its election manifestos.
