BJP leaders on Tuesday cheered Parliament's nod to the Union government's measures on Jammu and Kashmir, with its president Amit Shah saying it is a fitting tribute to the party's ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
The party's working president JP Nadda asserted that democracy has now been established in a true sense there and terrorism will make way for development.
Union minister Prakash Javadekar hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and said the "historic" move to nullify Article 370 has erased the "blot" of injustice from India's head.
His ministerial colleague Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi took a dig at the Congress for its opposition to the move, saying this Parliament session will also be remembered for "brainless act of headless Congress".
Shah in his tweets said the revocation of Article 370 and Article 35A is a victory for the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh as they had been "struggling" for their rights for the last 70 years.

"Syama Prasad Mookerjee sacrificed everything for this. It is a fitting tribute to him," he said.
Nadda in his tweets said development, education, health and tourism activities will now replace corruption, terrorism, poverty and misgovernance.
Development will now reach the common man and not remain confined to a few families, he said.
