Article 370 is gone and we have Rakhi Sawant to thank

Rakhi Sawant in Dhara 370

Indian government has diluted Article 370 and credit for it should go to Rakhi Sawant.

Earlier this week, the Indian government abrogated Article 370 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, making it an integral part of India without any riders and bifurcated the state into two union territories, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Even as Indians thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the historic move, the world forgot the one person who perhaps triggered the move earlier this year. Television star Rakhi Sawant.

Sawant took to Instagram to thank Prime Minister Modi for dilution of Article 370.

She thanked PM Modi for the move so that the laws applicable to the rest of India are now applicable to Kashmir. “Kashmir hamara ho gaya hai. I am so proud of you Modiji. You are the best. Aap ke jaisa koi nahin. Humara neta kaisa ho? Humara PM kaisa ho? Modiji jaisa ho. So Modiji aap jio karodo-hajaaro saal aur hum sab aapka vansh hai,” Sawant cheered for PM Modi.

She then added that she is thankful to her producer-director of the film ‘Dhara 370’ for casting her in the film. She boasts that the film was the first one to raise the issue of Article 370. Sawant then thanked PM Modi for listening to her.

Rakhi Sawant is playing a role of a Pakistani dancer in her upcoming film ‘Dhara 370’ where she saves Kashmiri youth from becoming terrorists. She had earlier posted pictures on Instagram where she was draped in Pakistani flags. However, Pakistanis had then abused Rakhi Sawant for posing with the Pakistan flags. She appealed to people that this is just a role she is playing and that they should not eat her brain for this.

Meanwhile, she has said that now that Kashmir is ours, she will go there for her honeymoon.
