Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be visiting Jammu and Kashmir from 30 September to 2 October, said BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Sunday. This will be Shah’s second visit to the Union Territory since the abrogation of Article 370. Last year, in October, the Home Minister visited Kashmir in the wake of rising attacks on minority community members by terrorists in the Valley.
During his visit, Shah will meet intellectuals and prominent personalities and will address two public meetings on 1 October in Rajouri and will also address another rally in Baramullah on 2 October.
“Amit Shah will visit different areas in this visit and this is a special occasion just like a festival as he was the key person to finish the controversial Articles 370 and 35(a) and broke the shackles of Jammu and Kashmir residents to free them from long bondage. SCs, women, Gujjars-Bakkarwals and other communities were empowered after being neglected for 70 years,” said Chugh.
He further said that the Rajouri and Baramullah areas have been neglected for all these years, hence Amit Shah has decided to visit these areas and address the rallies there.
“BJP has tried to politically empower all those who were denied due space for 70 years,” said Chugh.
The BJP leader further said that the Central government led by PM Narendra Modi has ensured the development of Jammu and Kashmir constantly despite Covid-19 and other
difficulties.
“Modi government is committed for “Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas” and not only the Vikas of Abdullah and Muftis, Modi government has ensured the development of Jammu and Kashmir constantly despite Covid and other difficulties. Today, Jammu and Kashmir airports are flooded with private airlines. Tourist places like Pahalgam, and religious yatras like Vaishno Mata, and Amarnath are flooded with visitors. Now ‘Pani and Jawani’ of Jammu and Kashmir are being utilised for the development of the region,” he said.
