‘Even if Indira Gandhi were to return, Article 370 won’t be restored’: Amit Shah in Maharashtra

Maharashtra Elections 2024: Ahead of Maharashtra Assembly elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday addressed a rally and asserted that even if Indira Gandhi returned, “Article 370 won’t be restored”.

Addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Dhule, ahead of November 20 polling, Shah said that no one, even Indira Gandhi from heaven, won’t be able to restore the provision.

Article 370, which granted special status to the erstwhile state Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated on August 5, 2019.

On Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde’s statement that he was scared during his visit to Srinagar’s Lal Chowk when he was the Union home minister, Shah said, “Shinde ji, go to Kashmir now along with your grandkids, no harm will come to you.”

“During 10 years of the Sonia-Manmohan regime, terrorists used to come freely from Pakistan and trigger bomb blasts here,” Shah said.

‘Muslims won’t get reservations meant for SCs, STs and OBCs’

Amit Shah also took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said he should remember that even if his “fourth generation were to come”, Muslims won’t get reservations meant for SCs, STs and OBCs.

“A few days ago, Ulemas met the president of Congress party and said that Muslims should be given reservation. If reservation has to be given to Muslims, then reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs will have to be cut. Rahul Baba, not only you but even if your four generations were to come, they cannot cut the quota meant for SCs, STs and OBCs and give it to Muslims,” Shah said, PTI reported.

His statement comes amid a quota conflict in the poll-bound state. A few days ago, during the manifesto release of the BJP, Amit Shah alleged that the Congress intends to cut the reservation of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other backward classes and give it to Muslims, and warned the people of the state to be alert about such appeasement politics.
