Earlier, Shah arrived here on a two-day visit to launch the BJP’s campaign for the elections.
In his address before releasing the manifesto of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Union Home Minister said that I know the agenda of the National Conference (NC). I want to make it clear to the whole country that Article 370 has now become history and it will never return. He said that Article 370 is no longer a part of the Constitution. He said that this article has only given weapons and stones in the hands of the youth and pushed them towards terrorism.
Shah said that I want to tell Omar Abdullah (NC leader) that whatever the results, we will not let you touch the reservation given to Gujjars, Bakarwals and Pahari people. He said that terrorism will be completely eradicated from Jammu and Kashmir. He said that a white paper will be issued to fix the responsibility of those involved in the growth of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
