Udhampur : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that whosoever will promote terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir will face the fate of Parliament convict Muhammad Afzal Guru who was sent to gallows in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
Addressing a gathering in Udhampur district, Shah as per the news agency lashed out at National Conference vice president for claiming that Afzal Guru shouldn’t have been hanged. “Phir kya biryani khilani thi usko (Was I supposed to give him Biryani instead). Those who would promote terrorism will meet the same fate as that of Afzal Guru,” Shah said.
Taking a dig at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for claiming the restoration of Article 370, but “I want to make it clear that Rahul’s generations would not be able to restore the provisions again.”
Shah said: “It is for the first time that the elections in Jammu and Kashmir are being held without Article 370 and a separate flag. The end to the culture of two constitutions has been ensured by PM Modi.”
He said “the claims are being made by the NC and Rahul Baba about the restoration of Article 370, but the generations of Rahul won’t have powers to restore the provisions again.”
During the past 40 years, Shah said Congress, PDP and NC have brought terrorism, which led to the killing of 40,000 people and also 3000 days of curfew as well, besides the attacks, bombs being witnessed every day. “However, as PM Modi took over, the stone pelting and bullets have gone. The three parties want to revive the terrorism in J&K, but I want to tell Omar Abdullah that whatever would be your wish, terrorism will be eradicated from the soil of Kashmir forever. Nobody has the power to revive terrorism in J&K as there is PM Modi’s government in the centre.”
“I heard Rahul and Omar claiming they will bring Statehood, but let me make it clear that after the abrogation of Article 370, I had promised the restoration of Statehood soon after the elections in J&K. PM Modi too has made it clear that it will be restored. Statehood will be restored through the Parliament only and there is PM Modi’s rule,” he said.
J&K Statehood will get statehood back but only PM Modi can restore it, he added.
During the 70-75 years of rule, Shah said that the three families brought the situation here, which led to the closure of Cinemas. “I want to ask Dr Farooq Abdullah where he was when 40,000 people were killed? It was during his tenure when the terrorism took its shape in J&K. You were enjoying the holidays in London. You can do anything, but the terrorism will never get revived,” he said.
Referring to the development in Udhampur, he said that Delhi and Gujarat like roads have been constructed here which is the outcome of PM Modi’s rule.
Furthermore referring to situation in the commercial hub Lal Chowk, Shah said the place is now accessible to all where the tri-colour is being hoisted and Muharram is being observed, Ganpati and Janmashthami is being celebrated with an end to the bullets—(KNO)
