Entire Kashmir is ours, says Amit Shah

BJP chief and the party’s Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat candidate Amit Shah held two roadshows in Ahmedabad on Saturday as part of his election campaign and made people chant a slogan proclaiming that the entire Kashmir belongs to India.

He made a gathering chant the slogan before his first roadshow in the morning. It came in the wake of PDP chief and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti’s criticism that Shah was “daydreaming” about abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution that provides a special status to the state.

Saturday was the BJP’s 39th foundation day.

The first roadshow started from Sarkhej area in the morning, while the second, held late in the evening, passed through the Sabarmati area of the city.

Before embarking on the roadshow from Sarkhej, Shah garlanded photographs of Jan Sangh founders Deendayal Upadhyaya and Shyama Prasad Mukhejee.

He then made the gathering chant, “Jaha hue balidan Mukherjee, woh Kashmir hamara hai. Sara ka sara hamara hai. (The Kashmir where Mukherjee sacrificed his life belongs to us. All of it belongs to us.)”

Reacting to Shah’s reported remarks underscoring the BJP’s commitment to abrogate Article 370, Mufti had said if that happened, mainstream politicians in Kashmir, including her, will have to reconsider their future course of action.
