Ahead Of Election, PM Modi Promises To Restore Statehood To Jammu & Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir polls: PM Modi has pledged to restore statehood to J&K during a poll rally. He accused the Opposition of seeking to reinstate Article 370, which, he claimed, would lead to violence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday promised to restore statehood to Jammu & Kashmir. Speaking at an election campaign rally in Katra in the Reasi district, he also accused the Opposition of trying to bring back bloodshed in Kashmir by reversing the abrogation of Article 370.

"They [Opposition] are saying that they will bring back Article 370 here. They want to bring back the era of bloodshed... Pakistan seems happy with the manifesto of the Congress and the National Conference. Pakistan's Defence Minister has openly supported it. The agenda of Congress and NC is the same as that of Pakistan," PM Modi said.

He said Pakistan had exposed itself and the Congress and NC. He accused the Congress and NC of wanting to implement Pakistan's agenda in Jammu and Kashmir. "For decades Congress and NC did what suited the masters of terror. We will not let Pakistan's agenda be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir. No power in the world can bring back Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir," PM Modi said.

PM Modi attacked the Congress, the NC, and the PDP, saying Kashmir today hosts global events like G20, sports car race, and International Yoga Day, but the Opposition wants to go back to the bygone era. "Kashmiriyat welcomes everyone with open arms, but the dynastic parties here want to bring back the old times," he said.

'Kashmiri Hindus Driven Out Of Their Homes By Three Families'

PM Modi said the Kashmiri Pandit community played a big role in promoting the spirit of Kashmiriyat, but the 'three families' [Abdullahs, Muftis, and Gandhis] had driven them out of their homes with their selfish politics. "Sikh families were tortured. The three families were responsible for the atrocities committed against Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs. Congress, NC, and PDP have only divided. BJP is uniting people," PM Modi said.
