Srinagar: Indian opposition party Congress has claimed to give its rights usurped by the Modi led Bharti Janta Party (BJP) back in August 2019.
Indian Congress leader Pawan Khera said that Prime Minister Modi and its government ruled Kashmir oppressively.
Pawan Khera, senior Congress leader, stressed the pressing need for change, citing the political climate of the past decade in Kashmir.
“The last 10 years of direct rule from Delhi have closed doors for common people. Kashmir has become a graveyard of dreams and aspirations,” Khera said, adding that the Congress manifesto represents both guarantees and promises. “Our focus is on restoring statehood, providing jobs for youth, and supporting women.”
Khera highlighted the issue of statehood, pointing to Home Minister Amit Shah’s promises. “Amit Shah said he would give statehood back, but the reality is they’ve taken it away. How will they give back what they’ve taken?” he questioned.
Khera said that the congress is the only party capable of delivering justice to J&K. “Any vote for any alliance other than the NC-Congress alliance is a vote for BJP,” he said in a veiled attack on joining hands by Engineer Rashid and JeI-backed independent candidates.
Angered on the Congress leader statement, the Indian Interior Minister Ameet Shah said that the article 317 can’t be restored.
Keeping his oppressive rule and action in Kashmir, Ameet Shah claimed that we will eradicate the dispute of Kashmir the roots.
