While replying to TMC MP Saugata Ray in the Lok Sabha during the debate on J-K bills on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah countered him, asking how a country can have two PMs, two constitutions, and two flags.
The Lok Sabha was debating the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
‘How can a country have two PMs, two constitutions, and two flags? Those who did this did it wrong. PM Modi corrected it. We have been saying since 1950 that there should be ‘Ek Pradhan, Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan’ (one Prime Minister, one flag, and one Constitution) in the country, and we did it,’ Shah said in the Lok Sabha.
Lok Sabha member Saugata Ray remarked during the discussion on The Jammu & Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, in the Lok Sabha.
‘Let me start with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir since Amit Shah took over as Home Minister.
One of the major steps taken by him was to abrogate Article 370 and then convert the states of Jammu and Kashmir into Union Territories, first Jammu and Kashmir and second, Ladakh. Earlier, Union Territories were converted into States, and here, Amit Shah converted the states into Union Territories. What have you achieved?’ he added.
