Shah says won’t tolerate ‘Gupkar gang’; Kashmir parties hit back

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Sounding the poll bugle ahead of local body elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Union home minister Amit Shah has termed the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration an “unholy global alliance” that along with the Congress wants to return to the era of terror and turmoil.

 The statement evoked angry reactions from the Congress, the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party, which dismissed the remarks as baseless and hit out at the minister. In a series of tweets, Shah also labelled the PAGD, a newly formed conglomerate of political parties, the “Gupkar Gang” that is going global and wants foreign forces to intervene in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Congress and the Gupkar Gang want to take JK back to the era of terror and turmoil. They want to take away rights of Dalits, women and tribals that we have ensured by removing Article 370. This is why they’re being rejected by the people everywhere,” he said.
