TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Home Minister Amit Shah has accused the Congress of terrorism in Kashmir and responsible for the state’s current situation, alleging that former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s decisions were behind India losing one-third of its territory to Pakistan.
He was replying to a debate in the Lok Sabha on the resolution to extend President’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir for another six months from July 3. Shah alleged that the policies of previous Congress governments widened the wedge between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the country.
He said his government is making efforts to bridge this gap and remove terrorism from its roots and restore democracy in the state. The House passed by voice vote the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2019, to replace an ordinance issued by previous government, extending President’s Rule in Jammu and Kashmir, amidst opposition from the Congress and some other parties.
The Lok Sabha also cleared the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2019, to replace an ordinance issued by the previous government. He told the House that elections in the state will be held in a free, fair and democratic manner once the Election Commission announces the schedule.
