Will withdraw Article-370 from J&K if voted to power: Shah
BJP president Amit Shah today said Article 370 will be withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir if the saffron party is voted to power again. Addressing a public rally in Medininagar in Jharkhand's Palamau district, Shah said, "We will remove Article 370 if you make Narendra Modi the prime minister again." He also said Pakistan used to attack India continuously under the Congress-led UPA government.
What is Article 370?
Article 370 was included in the Constitution on October 17, 1949, and it exempts Jammu and Kashmir from the Indian Constitution (except Article 1 and Article 370). The Article permits J&K to draft its own Constitution.
We cannot compromise with the security of nation, said Shah
Shah said during the Congress-led UPA government, terror groups from Pakistan used to target India continuously and the terrorists used to behead the Jawans. "We cannot compromise with the security of the nation. Pakistan wants to separate Kashmir from India. We will not allow it," he said. "If Pakistan fires bullets on us, we'll fire shells on them," he further said.
Shah even attacked Omar Abdullah over his 'separate PM' remark
Launching a scathing attack on National Conference leader Omar Abdullah for his remarks on having a separate PM for Kashmir, Shah said Kashmir is an inseparable part of India. "Should there be two prime ministers for one country?" Shah asked the people. He said the BJP has given the nation Modi as PM and the security of the country has been strengthened ever since.
