After Article 370 scrapping, Terrorism will end from Kashmir : Amit Shah

Chennai

Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that the removal of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution will lead to end of terrorism and progress of the region. Speaking at the launch of a book on Vice-President M. Venkiah Naidu in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Mr. Shah said he firmly believed that Article 370 that gave the special status to Jammu and Kashmir should be removed as it was not beneficial to the country.

He said, “I was firm that Article 370 should be removed…. after (scrapping) Article 370, terrorism in Kashmir will end and it will progress on the path of development.” In a bold move, the Centre has last week revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and announced it would be split it into two union territories — Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir, with the bills in this regard being passed by the Parliament.
