Hailing the abrogation of Article 370 from the Indian Constitution, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that it is after 30 years that Janmashtami was celebrated at Lal Chowk in Jammu and Kashmir adding that Union Terriority is making rapid progress under the BJP-led Centre.
Addressing the Prabuddha Jan Sammelan in Bhopal, Home Minister Amit Shah said,” When I was a party worker in my earlier days, I used to wonder how will Article 370 be removed. But on August 5, 2019 PM Modi ended Article 370. There can’t be two constitutions, two Prime Ministers and two flags in any country. Congress allowed it for 70 years in the name of appeasement. Now after 30 years, Janmashtami was celebrated at Lal Chowk. After 30 years movie theatres have started there after 30 years Muharram procession was held there.”
Asserting that country was trapped in “casteism, family politics, appeasement and corruption”, Amit Shah said that it is Prime Minister Modi who got rid of “all these evils” through his good governance model.
‘He implemented politics of performance,” Amit Shah said adding that “Just like there were two sides in Mahabharata, with Pandavas on one side and Kauravas on other, similarly there is a nation-loving group led by PM Modi and an alliance of seven families.
