The entire audience of 50,000 stood up and applauded in unison.

With US President Donald Trump listening keenly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India had bid "farewell" to Article 370 that went against people-centric development in Jammu and Kashmir.
"What India has done (revoking Article 370), there are some people who have trouble over it, they are themselves unable to even take care of their own country."
"The time has come for a definite fight against terrorism. I want to state with emphasis that in this fight President Trump is with us strongly in the fight against terrorism, and he has shown his determination to fight against terrorism," PM Modi said, and asked the audience to stand up and give a standing ovation to the US President.
The entire audience of 50,000 stood up and applauded in unison.
Raising the issue of the revocation of Article 370, with Pakistan set to raise it in the UN General Assembly, Modi said that for the past 70 years it was proving to be a hamper to development.
"For 70 years, it was proving a big challenge that India has given a farewell to. It kept people away from the benefits of development, and from equality, and it was being used by separatists. And the Constitution that is for the rest of India is now also for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. All the discrimination that women, children and Dalits were facing, has been ended."
Modi said the legislation for the purpose was passed with two-thirds majority in both houses of Parliament, including the upper house where his government did not have majority, and the proceedings were telecast.
He asked the entire cheering audience to give a standing ovation to the Parliament for its move. "I want all of you to give a standing ovation for this," he said and the 50,000 crowd of Indian-Americans stood up, cheering and chanting "Modi, Modi", as the US President and a host of US Congressmen watched.
The standing ovation was also a move to bring home to the US President and the Congressmen the wide support that the revocation of special status in Kashmir enjoys.

गरुड़ पुराण कथा और सार – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण कथा – Garud Puran in Hindi गरुड़ पुराण  हिन्दू धर्म के प्रसिद्ध वेद पुराण में से एक है। वैष्णव सम्प्रदाय से सम्बन्धित गरुण पुराण हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गति प्रदान करने वाला माना जाता है। इसलिये सनातन हिन्दू धर्म में मृत्यु के बाद ‘गरुड पुराण’ के श्रवण का प्रावधान है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु  हैं। अठारह पुराणों में ‘गरुड़ महापुराण’ का अपना एक विशेष महत्व है। क्योंकि इसके देव स्वयं विष्णु माने जाते हैं, इसीलिए यह वैष्णव पुराण है। गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन में तो मिलता ही है, परंतु मरने के बाद भी कार्यों का अच्छा-बुरा फल मिलता है। इसी वजह से इस ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का अवसर निर्धारित किया गया, ताकि उस समय हम जन्म-मृत्यु से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सके और मृत्यु वश बिछडऩे वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके। भगवान विष्णु की भक्ति |  Devotion to Lord Vishnu वास्तविक तथ्य यह है कि ‘गरुड़ पुराण’ में भगवान विष्णु की भक्ति का विस्तार से व

Pakistan committed one of the biggest blunders by joining U.S. after 9/11, says Imran Khan Pakistan . Prime Minister Imran Khan admitted on September 24 that Pakistan committed “one of the biggest blunders” by joining the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks, saying the previous governments “should not have pledged what they could not deliver”. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) think-tank here, Mr. Khan also said the least he expects the international community to do is to urge India to lift the curfew in Kashmir. Responding to a question, Mr. Khan said he had urged his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to “reset” bilateral ties and his government waited to resume talks until after the elections in India were over but then it found that “India is pushing us in the blacklist of the Financial Action Task Force to bankrupt us”. He said that by abrogating Article 370, India had cast aside the UN Security Council resolutions, the Simla accord and its
