Jammu, Sep 06 (KNO): Lashing out at the National Conference for promising restoration of Article 370 in its manifesto, Union Home Minister Amit Shah Friday said that the Article 370 has been buried forever and BJP won\u2019t allow the efforts aimed at its restoration. He also said that BJP will also release a \u201cWhite Paper\u201d on 40,000 killings in J&K and fix a responsibility as well post polls.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have gone through the NC agenda\/manifesto. It states that the party will restore Article 370 in J&K. Let me tell you that Article 370 has been buried forever and it won\u2019t come back,\u201d Home Minister said addressing a press conference in Jammu, as per news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), before releasing the party manifesto for J&K. \u201cWe will release a white paper on 40,000 killings that have taken place in J&K in the past over three decades and also fix the responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said BJP always wanted integration of J&K with the Union of India. \u201cTill 2014, J&K was plagued by separatism and terrorism. We also saw Hurriyat-backed governments in J&K,\u201d Shah said. \u201cAfter 2014, a new chapter of peace and prosperity was started under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendera Modi.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said it was due to the efforts and historic decision on August 5, 2019 and today \u201cArticle 370 and Article 35 is not the party of our constitution anymore,\u201d Shah said.<\/p>\n
Taking a jibe at senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Shah said Rahul must explain as to whether he and his party supports the NC manifesto that promises restoration of Article 370, release of stone pelters and prisoners involved in promoting secessionism. Shah also dared NC that no power can touch the reservation of Gujjars and Bakerwals.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to ask Rahul does he and his party want revival of terrorism, separatism in J&K. Does Rahul support restoration of two flags and Article 370. He won\u2019t answer. But I want to state here that Rahul is very much in support of NC manifesto,\u201d Shah said. Replying to a query about restoration of Statehood to J&K, he said: \u201cI as a Home Minister have promised on the floor of the house that Statehood will be granted to J&K at an appropriate time after Assembly polls. Why demand something that has already been accepted.\u201d On the possibility of talks with Pakistan, Shah said that talks and terror can\u2019t go together. \u201cWe will talk to the youth of Kashmir not Pakistan unless Pakistan stops terrorism,\u201d he said. Replying to a query whether trade can be started with Pakistan, he said trade sets base for terrorism. \u201cSo no question of trade with Pakistan till terrorism is there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On the alliance, he said apart from the three families\u2014Muftis, Abdullahs, and Gandhis, BJP will keep the options open. \u201cOne thing is sure that there won\u2019t be NC, PDP, Congress government in J&K,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
