Today, incidents of stone pelting have completely stopped in Jammu and Kashmir. Now no one has the courage to pelt stones. This time the election is going to be very historic. For the first time after independence, the people of Jammu and Kashmir will vote not under two flags, two constitutions but under the tricolor, on the basis of Baba Ambedkar’s Constitution.
