During his visit, Shah highlighted the bravery and courage of those who serve their country and vowed to continue fighting against terrorism.
Shah also addressed a public rally in Jammu’s Bhagwati Nagar, invoking the determination, courage, and sacrifice of BJP’s founding father, Syama Prasad Mukherjee, and how this enabled Article 370 to be abrogated from Jammu & Kashmir.

Overall, Shah’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir was a reminder of the importance of recognizing and honoring the sacrifices of those who have died serving their country.
