Union Minister of Home & Cooperation and senior BJP leader, Amit Shah, on Sunday criticized the Congress and the National Conference (NC) for their anti-development and pro-terrorist stance, underscoring the damage caused by their politics. Addressing a public meeting in Naushera belt in support of party candidate Ravinder Raina for phase-2 Assembly polls, he assured that the Bharatiya Janata Party will safeguard the reservations and rights granted to the people.
Regardless of what Rahul Gandhi and Omar Abdullah attempt, Shah stressed that the reservations will remain. Farooq Abdullah talks about restoring Article 370, but even the next three generations of his family will not be able to bring it back, he noted and accused the Gandhi and Abdullah families of trying to end reservations and bring back terrorism.
“They speak of terrorism from their so-called ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukaan’. But after the election results, they won’t succeed in bringing back terrorism as the people of Jammu & Kashmir will shut down the false ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukaan’,” he asserted. For 30 years, terrorism gripped J&K, with 3,000 days of curfew and 40,000 lives lost. During this time, where was Farooq Abdullah? He was vacationing in London while Kashmir was burning, he charged.
After Narendra Modi came to power, terrorists were eliminated one by one, he said and informed that the BJP not only has a future development agenda but has also proven its work in the last 10 years. He contrasted this by highlighting the significant achievements of the Modi government in transforming Jammu and Kashmir.
Shah commenced his address by paying respects to Mangla Mata and honouring the memory of Guru Nanak Dev on his death anniversary. He praised Ravinder Raina for his significant contributions, stating that under his leadership, the BJP has made great strides in Jammu and Kashmir. Both Hindu and Muslim Pahadis received reservation due to Raina’s crucial role, he said while holdingthe Congress, NC and PDP of depriving the Pahadis of their rightful reservation for 70
