Morena, My 1:

BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday said Article 370 will be withdrawn from Jammu & Kashmir, if the saffron party is voted back to power.

Addressing an election rally here in Madhya Pradesh, Shah also slammed National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah for his statement seeking a separate Prime Minister for Jammu & Kashmir.

“We will remove Article 370 if voted back to power,” Shah said. Article 370 gives special status to Jammu & Kashmir.

Shah also alleged that the Opposition, including the Congress and the NC, wanted a separate Prime Minister for J&K.

“The Congress, the NC, SP and BSP all wanted to separate Kashmir from Hindustan. But this Narendra Modi Government will never allow secession (of J&K) from India.

“No BJP worker will let such a thing to happen. We will remove Article 370 if you make Narendra Modi the PM again,” Shah told the gathering.

The BJP chief also hit out at the Congress over its poll promise to scrap sedition law if voted to power.
