Will bury terrorism so deep it will not raise its head ever again: Amit Shah in J&K

He also addressed rallies at Kishtwar town and in Ramban, which are among the 24 seats going to polls on September 18.

At Paddar rally, to campaign for party candidate Sunil Sharma, Shah mentioned Ajit Parihar and Anil Parihar, brothers who were allegedly killed by terrorists near their house in Kishtwar town in 2018. He also spoke about RSS functionary Chanderkant Sharma, who, along with his PSO, was shot dead at a government-run hospital in the district in 2019.

Saying that attempts were being made “to revive terrorism… as it had been in the 1990s”, Shah also took a dig at the NC-Congress, claiming that the two parties had “promised to release these terrorists (from jails)” if they form the government. However, he added, “in front of this place of Ma (Chandi Mata), I assure you that this is PM Narendra Modi’s government and no one can dare to promote terrorism on Indian soil.”

Terming the coming Assembly elections a contest between the “NC-Congress on one side and BJP on the other”, Shah told the rally, “This Nehru-Gandhi-Abdullah family alliance who spread terrorism here want to take your blessings again”.

“The NC-Congress are saying that if we form the government we will restore Article 370. Tell me should it be restored? Your reservation, given by BJP to Paharis and Gujjars and others, will be snatched. Don’t worry, I am watching the situation in Kashmir and be assured that neither Abdullahs nor Rahul’s party are going to form the government in J&K,” he said.
