Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said PM Narendra Modi has successfully eliminated terrorism and Naxalism from India, adding Article 370 will never be reinstated in J&K.
Speaking at a rally in Ghatkopar ahead of the Maharashtra polls on Nov 20, Shah said for BJP, Kashmir was more important than political power. In Borivali, referring to a recent comment by former home minister and Congress veteran Sushilkumar Shinde, Shah said, “Despite being the (country’s) home minister, he used to be frightened going to Kashmir. He himself said so in an interview.
Now, he can visit Kashmir with his grandchildren.”
Shah, while claiming that efforts of the Modi govt had restored peace in the Valley, urged Rahul Gandhi to take a “ride on a shikara” in the Dal lake and enjoy the new-found atmosphere of peace.Shah also targeted undocumented Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants, saying, “One by one, Bangladeshi citizens and Rohingyas will be taken out of Mumbai before the end of this term.” He said the Dharavi redevelopment project would not only provide “better housing” for its residents but also raise overall valuation of the city.
Taking a dig at Uddhav Thackeray for his alleged opposition to infrastructure projects, Shah said, “He could use the Samruddhi Mahamarg which is constructed by us to reach Nagpur if he fears travelling via air.”
