In Kashmir, Amit Shah Rules Out Talks With Pak, Says Won't Tolerate Terror
Baramulla (Jammu and Kashmir): Union Home Minister Amit Shah today ruled out any dialogue with Pakistan and asserted that the Narendra Modi government will wipe out terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir and make it the most peaceful place in the country.
Addressing a rally here, Mr Shah asked whether terrorism has ever benefited anyone as it has claimed 42,000 lives in Jammu and Kashmir since the 1990s.
He also blamed the families of the Abdullahs (National Conference), Muftis (PDP) and Nehru-Gandhi (Congress) for the alleged underdevelopment of Jammu and Kashmir as they ruled the erstwhile state most of the time since Independence in 1947.
"Some people say we should talk to Pakistan. Why should we talk to Pakistan? We will not talk. We will talk to the people of Baramulla, we will talk to the people of Kashmir," Mr Shah said.
He said the Narendra Modi government does not tolerate terrorism and wants to wipe it out.
"We want to make Jammu and Kashmir the most peaceful place in the country," he said.
Mr Shah said some people often talk about Pakistan, but he wanted to know how many villages in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) have electricity connections.
"We have ensured, in the last three years, that all villages in Kashmir have electricity connection," he added.
Coming down heavily on three political families for the second consecutive day, the home minister alleged that their rules were full of mis-governance, corruption and lack of development.
"Mufti and company, Abdullah and sons and the Congress have done nothing for the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
