Every state, citizen has right over J&K: Amit Shah

New Delhi, Apr 6: Union Minister of Home and Cooperation Amit Shah Saturday said that every state and citizen had a right over Jammu and Kashmir just as J&K residents have a right over the rest of India.

Responding to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘Kashmir se kya waasta hai’ remark, Shah launched a blistering attack on X saying, “It is shameful to hear that the Congress is asking,

‘Kashmir se kya waasta hai’. I would like to remind the Congress that J&K is an integral part of India, and every state and citizen has the right over J&K, just as the people of J&K have the right over the rest of India.”

Taking a dig at the Congress, the Home Minister said that the Congress does not know that many brave sons of Rajasthan had sacrificed their lives for peace and security in Kashmir.

“But it is not merely the fault of the Congress leaders. It is mostly the Italian culture of the Congress that is to blame for not understanding the very idea of India. Such statements hurt every patriotic citizen who cares for the unity and integrity of the nation,” he said.

“People will certainly answer Congress. And for the kind information of the Congress, it was not Article 371, but Article 370, that was abrogated by the Modi government. However, it is only expected of Congress to make such horrendous mistakes. Such blunders made by it have haunted our nation for decades now.”

Recently, Mallikarjun Kharge made a statement about J&K asking why the BJP and its leader, PM Narendra Modi were talking about J&K in Rajasthan.
He also went on to ask, ‘Kashmir se kya wasta hai.’
