Chimur (Maharashtra): Assailing Congress and its allies for passing a resolution in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly seeking restoration of Article 370 which conferred special powers on the erstwhile state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Pakistan was also in favour of such a proposal.
Modi. who was addressing an election rally here in Maharshtra, said people will never allow them to remove Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution which has now reached J&K.
“The whole country has seen what happened in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly recently. Jammu and Kashmir was burning in the fires of separatism and terror for decades. Many soldiers of Maharashtra were martyred in that land while protecting the motherland. Whose sin is this?” Modi asked while addressing an Assembly election rally here in Maharashtra.
Modi blamed Article 370 for such happenings, and said it was the “gift of Congress”.
“We abrogated this Artilcle, linked Kashmir with India and the Constitution of India,” he told the huge rally.
The Prime Minister said Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution was accepted and implemented by the whole country, but “these people who were pulling the rosary of the Constitution” did not implement the constitution in Jammu and Kashmir for more than seven decades.
“Before Modi came to power, there were two constitutions in force in the country. Babasaheb’s Constitution was applicable in the entire country, while another Constitution was applicable in Jammu and Kashmir,” said Modi.
The wall of Article 370 prevented Babasaheb’s constitution from entering Jammu and Kashmir, he said, adding “With the blessings of the people, we have buried this clause forever. But the Congressmen and their allies cannot tolerate this, so they are struggling to pass a resolution in the Assembly to re-introduce Article 370 which Pakistan wants.”
He also warned that the people will never let the people succeed in their intention to once again remove Babasaheb’s constitution which has reached Jammu and Kashmir.
Modi also accused the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) of obstructing development in Maharashtra, and said over the last two and a half years, the people of the state have seen the speed of development doubled due to the double-engine government (same parties in power in the Centree and the state).
“The people have also experienced the governance of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, which undermined every development plan. The Mahayuti government is working fast, but the MVA is obstructing it,” he said.
Continuing his attack on the MVA, he said “they have only mastered stalling, stalling and derailing development projects”.
Modi came down heavily on the alliance of Congress and its partners, calling it “corruption ka sabe bada khiladi (the biggest players of corruption”. UNI
