Dhami credited the improved political environment, allowing Congress leaders to visit Kashmir, to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He praised the region’s drastically improved security situation under the BJP, stating, "Under the BJP government at the centre, there has been minimum terrorism and maximum tourism." Dhami also noted the end of stone-pelting incidents, highlighting a shift in the courage to disrupt peace.
