BJP MP Hemang Joshi, currently part of a multi-party delegation visiting Japan, commended the resilience of Indian values in the wake of terrorist threats aimed at sowing religious discord.

During an interaction with the Indian community in Tokyo, Joshi observed that despite the attackers' attempts to ignite religious riots, no such incidents occurred. He credited this unity to the flourishing business environment and democratic progress witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir over the last four years, with significant voter participation in elections.
