Srinagar: Former Union Minister and National spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shahnawaz Hussain on Friday said that the Article 370 can never be restored in Jammu and Kashmir, adding that the Gupkar Gang is deceiving people by making promises over its restoration.
During a presser in Srinagar, Hussain said that the atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir has changed following the abrogation of Article 370 last year.
"We are concerned about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will ensure the development, which is the right of people and will be given to them. The J-K will see a new dawn of development and for which the work has already been started," he said.
Lashing out at Gupkar Gang, Hussain said that this gang is the combination of the same parties who turned J&K heaven into hell.
"Like other parts of the country, J&K will also witness development, which is the desire of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Previous governments in Jammu and Kashmir especially National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party have always thought about their own families and relatives and never cared about people," he said.
"These are the leaders who used to salute the tri-colour and even made remarks like chocolate and Milk and the Gang has always betrayed the people of J&K and have done politics on the blood of J&K," he added.
He further stated that previous regimes in Jammu and Kashmir especially National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party have always thought about their families and relatives and left the people to lurch at large.
Speaking about tourism, he said, "J&K has the world’s best tourism destinations, which will be boosted. We will not compare it with any other destinations but will ensure that tourism is boosted here.
On DDC elections, he said, "I am here to make lotus bloom in Kashmir. We will seek a vote on the name of development and you will see lotus blooming in several parts of Kashmir.
