Amit Shah, the union home minister, took aim at the Congress following the Supreme Court’s ruling that Jammu and Kashmir’s repeal of Article 370 was constitutional.
“Today, the decision (by Supreme Court on Article 370) has also come. Still, they (Congress) say that they don’t accept this and that Article 370 was abrogated wrongfully. I can’t explain to them what is the reality,” Shah averred in his address to the Rajya Sabha.
“Article 370 boosted separatism and separatism led to the rise of terrorism. One wrong decision can be taken but when history and time prove that the decision is wrong, one should come back towards the interest of the nation. I still say, come back otherwise there won’t remain even how many are left now (MPs elected to the House),” he further added.
“If you want to stick to this decision even today, public is watching – there will be face off in 2024 and PM Modi will become the PM for the third time,” Prior to the Rajya Sabha’s unanimous passage of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 by voice vote, which amended important laws in the Union Territory, the home minister made this statement.
