BharatiyaJanata Party President Amit Shah on Wednesday emphatically stated that no one will be able to separate Kashmir from India whether Prime Minister NarendraModi and the BJP were in power at the Centre, or not.
Addressing an election rally here, an area that falls underthe BongaonLokSabha constituency, Shah said if voted back to power, the saffronparty will remove Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.
“Modi is India’s Prime Minister now. He will be elected asthe Prime Minister again. But even if a time comes when neither Modiji nor BJPis in power at the centre, even then no one will be able to separate Kashmirfrom India,” Shah said.
“Till the time a single BJPactivist is alive, we will not let that happen. Kashmir is an inseparable partof India. It is jewel in the crown of our motherland. Give us 23 seats inBengal. We promise we will abolish article 370 from Kashmir,” he told thepeople here.
Attacking Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for inviting herformer Jammu and Kashmir counterpart Omar Abdullah in the mega anti-BJP rallyheld in Kolkata on January 19, Shah demanded that Banerjee should clarifywhether she supports Abdullah’s statements seeking a separate Prime Ministerfor Kashmir.
“Mamata Banerjee had invited Omar Abdullah in Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground and held his hand. Omar Abdullah has given a statement that there should be a separate Prime Minister in Kashmir. Tell me should there be two Prime Ministers in a country?” he asked.
