Amit Shah

Shah attributed the decision to revoke Article 370 to the collective efforts of BJP workers and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Asserting the significance of Kashmir as an integral part of India, he emphasized that any potential return of the Congress to power should not lead to any alterations in this constitutional provision. Shah stated that the era of Congress' appeasement politics has concluded.

Shah highlighted the transformation in Assam's border security, noting that it was previously porous to infiltration. However, with the Modi government at the helm, in conjunction with the administration led by Himanta Biswa Sarma, infiltration has been effectively halted. He criticized the previous Congress government for failing to address issues in Assam adequately, citing incidents of violence and insurgency-related deaths.

A meeting transpired between HM Shah and former Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister, KS Eshwarappa, who had raised concerns against the BJP's stance in the state. HM Shah extended an invitation to Eshwarappa to convene in New Delhi for discussions.

During an interview with the JK Media Group, Shah revealed the government's intention to withdraw troops from the Union Territory (UT) and entrust law and order responsibilities solely to the Jammu and Kashmir Police.

Speaking at the India Global Forum’s annual investment summit NXT10 in Mumbai, Shah highlighted the significant policy-driven initiatives undertaken by the Modi government. He pointed out that before 2014, India faced economic fragility, high inflation, and unmanageable fiscal deficits. However, under Modi's stewardship, India has evolved into a policy-driven state, poised to become a USD 4 trillion economy by the end of the year.

According to Shah, the Modi government's initiatives have not only eradicated terrorism but have also propelled Jammu and Kashmir into a symbol of India's robust democracy through substantial infrastructure and welfare measures. The home minister underscored the ancient and rich cultural heritage of Jammu and Kashmir, stating that the Union Territory's cultural pride is being revitalized under the Modi government.
