Srinagar , September 26: Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked the Congress-NC alliance over the restoration of Article 370, saying that 'three generations' of their family will not be able to bring back Article 370.
Addressing a public meeting in Chenani, Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said,
" After independence, it is for the first time that an election is held here where there is no Article 370 or a separate flag...NC and Rahul Baba say that we will bring back Article 370, but I want to tell them that neither you nor your three generations will be able to bring back Article 370."
He further attacked three families--'Gandhis'', 'Muftis' and 'Abdhullas' in his address and said that the families only gave tickets to their own people.
"The three families have given tickets to their people and made only 87 MLA. But we made more than 30,000 Panch, Sarpanch and Tehsil Panchayats... The river of corruption that they started was cleaned by Prime Minister Modi from the bottom," Amit Shah said.
"Since 2014, we have been working tirelessly to empower SCs, STs, Dalits, poor, and women. We secured our borders and ensured reservation for our Pahadi brothers and sisters. Congress never cared for you, Abdullahs never cared for you. And you should remember this," Amit Shah said.
Amit Shah further accused the NC and the Congress of perpetuating terrorism in the region.
