India has eliminated a big reason behind sowing of seeds of terrorism and separatism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Saturday, in a clear reference to abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and reorganising of the state.

Addressing the Indian diaspora, prime minister Modi said his government was working to fulfil those aims that seemed impossible.

“When decision is right, its echo is heard across the globe. And I can hear it in Thailand as well,” he said at the ‘Sawasdee PM Modi’ event.

Modi also received a standing ovation after he referred to abrogation of Article 370 provisions. He said the ovation was for India’s Parliament and parliamentarians.

Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was scrapped on August 5. It had “temporary provisions with respect to the State of Jammu and Kashmir” allowing it to have its own Constitution.

The union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, have been carved out of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, in accordance with the government’s August 5 decision.

Expectations of people are more from those who work and deliver, he said to a huge applause from the audience.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday released a commemorative coin marking the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev besides releasing a Thai translation of the Tamil classic ‘Tirukkural’ at the ‘Sawasdee PM Modi’ community event in Bangkok.

Modi, who arrived here earlier in the day, later addressed the Indian diaspora.

“Immense fervour at the ‘Sawasdee PM Modi’ community event in Bangkok,” the Prime Minister tweeted.

The Indian community in Thailand is about 2,50,000-member strong.

Modi told the audience that their appreciation for the decision is for India’s Parliament and parliamentarians. In his speech, Modi also talked about the Kartarpur Corridor opening and said that pilgrims will now be able to visit Kartarpur Sahib freely.
