Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 7: Cautioning weaker sections against nefarious designs of the opposition parties, Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Saturday said Congress and National Conference want to snatch political reservation of Gujjar and Bakerwals in J&K.
“National Conference and Congress are attempting to reintroduce Article 370 and undermine the reservations for Gujjars, Bakarwals, Paharis, OBCs, and Dalits”, Shah said, adding, “Rahul Gandhi must understand that these reservations are protected and cannot be altered”. Notable after the abrogation of Article 370, political reservation has been granted to the Scheduled Tribes in Jammu and Kashmir.
STs are getting political reservations all over the country but the same was not implemented in J&K due to Article 370.
Amit Shah raised this issue to attract Gujjar and Bakerwal, the third largest ethnic group in Jammu and Kashmir after Kashmiris and Dogras.
“Since the abrogation of Article 370, women in Jammu and Kashmir have gained rights they were denied for 70 years, yet the National Conference and Congress seek to take those rights away. They also aim to release individuals involved in stone-pelting and terrorism, threatening the peace that the Jammu region now enjoys”, he said.
Shah stated that the decision of who will form the next government will now be made by the people of Jammu. “We have to go door-to-door to raise awareness about the divisive agendas of the National Conference and Congress”, he said.
Amit Shah criticized Congress and National Conference for their corruption, anti-development stance, and support for terrorism. He highlighted the achievements of the NDA government and assured that the BJP will protect the rights and reservations granted to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“BJP will contest the election with full might and emerge victorious”, he asserted, adding “The Modi government has done significant developmental work in the past 10 years”.
“The Assembly elections in J&K are historic, with voters casting their votes under one flag and one constitution”, he said, adding, “BJP will ensure that every vote is cast at the voting booth by 7 PM on election day”.
Shah questioned Rahul Gandhi and Farooq Abdullah on how they plan to restore Jammu and Kashmir’s state status.
“Only the Central government can grant statehood, why are they deceiving the people of Jammu and Kashmir?”, he asked, adding, “This responsibility can only be fulfilled by the central government and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The central government will restore Jammu and Kashmir’s status as a state, as announced in Parliament after the elections”.
“Congress and the National Conference are demanding something that the BJP has already pledged in Parliament”, he said. |
