People are getting employment opportunities, and development will take place in the area, which has been ignored in the last 70 years. People have started to realize that J & K is on the path of a good, positive and constructive environment."

Naqvi also spoke on the ongoing protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Delhi's Jaffrabad area.

 

"The manner in which some people have tried to hijack the peace, as a result, I think they will learn from their mistakes and realise that no law of the country can take away anyone's citizenship," he said.
