Amit Shah Promises Statehood Restoration Post-Election in J&K

Home Minister Amit Shah addressed concerns about Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, promising its restoration post-assembly elections. He criticized the Congress-National Conference alliance for promoting terrorism and corruption. Shah assured that the BJP will maintain peace and development, emphasizing no talks with Pakistan until terrorism ends.

Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir that statehood would be restored following assembly elections, which he noted is the first under the national flag and Constitution since the abrogation of Article 370.

He accused the Congress-National Conference alliance of trying to revert to an old system that would push the region into terrorism and corruption.

Shah, during a two-day visit to Jammu to support the BJP's election campaign, promised no return of terrorism and emphasized overall development and justice, including reservations for Gujjars, Paharis, Bakerwals, and Dalits.
