Home Minster Amit Shah slammed the Congress NC alliance, as the Pakistani Defence Minister Khwaja Asif claimed that his country and the Congress, National Conference are on the same page on the restoration of Article 370 and 35A in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a post on X (Twitter) , Shah said, “Pakistan’s Defence Minister’s statement about Congress and JKNC’s support on Article 370 and 35A has once again exposed Congress. This statement has once again made it clear that Congress and Pakistan have the same intentions and agenda.”
Shah also attacked Rahul Gandhi for questioning the armed forces and parroting the views of anti Indian forces. He added, “Be it asking for proof of air strikes and surgical strikes or saying objectionable things about the Indian Army, the tune of Rahul Gandhi’s Congress Party and Pakistan has always been the same and Congress has always been hand in glove with the anti-national forces. But, Congress Party and Pakistan forget that there is Modi Government at the centre, hence, neither Article 370 nor terrorism is going to come back in Kashmir.”
In an interview with Geo News, Pakistan’s defence minister Khawaja Asif had claimed that the Shehbaz Sharif government and the Congress-National Conference alliance were on the same page on the issue of restoration of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
“I think it is possible. Currently, the National Conference and Congress have very big importance over there. The population of the valley has been motivated a lot on this issue and I believe, there is a chance that the Conference (National Conference) will come to power. They have made this an election issue that the status of Jammu and Kashmir should be restored,” Asif said.
The aggravating remarks came amid the Assembly elections in J&K. This is the first election since the erstwhile state’s special status was scrapped in 2019. The polling for the first phase was held across 3,276 Polling Stations in the seven districts and 24 special polling stations, on Wednesday.
