He made this remark while addressing a public rally
(Web Desk) - India's Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed on Tuesday that the Congress and the National Conference wanted to reinstate Article 370 in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He made this remark while addressing a public rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar on September 16.
Starting his speech by slamming the National Conference (NC) and Congress, he said that Article 370 is now a part of history and there is no place for it in the constitution of India.
It merits mention that article 370 gave a special status to the Kashmir under India’s occupation. The BJP government headed by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah abrogated the article to appease their hardline voters. The action was taken despite severe criticism from the local Kashmiris.
Shah said, "NC and Congress say that they will reinstate Article 370 if their government is formed. Should Article 370 be back?"
"The reservation, which the Pahadis and Gurjar brothers get, would not be possible if Article 370 is restored...But I have been observing the environment in Kashmir, neither Farooq Abdullah nor Rahul Gandhi is forming the government here.”
Continuing the vitriol in his speech, he said “Article 370 is now a part of the history. There is no place for Article 370 in the Constitution of India. There can never be two Prime Ministers, two constitutions and two flags in Kashmir. There will only be one flag and that is our Tricolour."
