Gulabgarh (J-K): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday accused the National Conference-Congress alliance of attempting to revive terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir saying the alliance will not be able to form the government in the union territory.
Addressing a BJP campaign rally in the Padder-Nagseni assembly segment of Kishtwar district in support of BJP candidate Sunil Sharma, Shah said there were attempts to revive terrorism on part of the NC and Congress alliance “as the National Conference and Congress manifesto talks about releasing terrorists”.
"This is the Modi government and nobody has the power to revive terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorism will be buried to such a level in the Union territory that it can never rise again,” he said.
The union minister said that the National Conference-Congress alliance will not be able to form the J-K government. He said that the upcoming assembly election was "between two powers, on one side National Conference and PDP and on the other BJP".
"The NC Congress are saying that if we form the government we will restore Article 370. Tell me should it be restored? Your reservation, given by BJP to Paharis and Gujjars and others, will be snatched," he said.
Monday's was the the Union Home Minister's second visit to Jammu region in a fortnight to campaign for the BJP candidates for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. In his first visit, Shah was in Jammu on September 6 and 7 during which he released BJP's manifesto for J-K assembly elections and also addressed a workers convention in the winter capital.
