“Entire Kashmir would be ours if Nehru waited for 2 days”: Amit Shah after verdict

Hours after the Supreme Court supported the Center’s move to repeal Article 370, which granted Jammu and Kashmir its special status under the Constitution, Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha today that the Article had “led to separatism.”

Mr Shah said, “There are other states with more Muslim population than Kashmir. Then why only J&K was suffering from terrorism? It was because Article 370 led to separatism.”

Mr. Shah, who was the one to announce the revocation of Article 370 and the division of Jammu and Kashmir in August four years ago, claimed that the court’s decision validated the government’s position.

Nevertheless, he said, the Congress was not satisfied with the court’s decision.

“Today, the Congress said in its press conference that the Article 370 was scrapped in an incorrect way. Even after Supreme Court verdict, they are saying that they don’t agree to this,” Mr Shah said.

“The Congress had committed mistakes for 40 years. They expect that the mistakes of 40 years will be rectified in Modi’s four years. But they are right, one should always aim high,” he said.

“If there was no untimely ceasefire (during the war with Pakistan), there wouldn’t have been a Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Our country was winning, had he (Nehru) waited for two days, entire Kashmir would have been ours,” he further added.
