In a statement on a recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that India would enter into no form of dialogue with Pakistan until terrorism was totally uprooted. Speaking before a large gathering, Shah made it clear that the government will never tolerate any form of terrorism and any form of dialogue with Pakistan will only be considered once terror from its soil is uprooted.
The statements of Home Minister come in the wake of swelling tensions between India and Pakistan and reflect India’s commitment to maintaining national security and sovereignty in the face of terrorism. He also seized the occasion to present how the security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir has improved significantly since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
“Terrorism Must End Before Talks Begin”
The BJP chief was clear about his stand when he said that there would “be no dialogue with Pakistan till terrorism is eradicated.” He said that any form of discussion with the neighboring country would be futile unless there is a complete cessation of cross-border terrorism. Shah said that Pakistan has been using terrorism as a tool to destabilize India for years and the government is committed to not allowing any such threats to affect the peace and security of Jammu and Kashmir.
Shah’s rigid stance is echoed in India’s core position on the matter of terrorism, where there cannot be a dialogue as long as violence and extremism coexist. He said India’s foremost priority at present is its people and their security and that Pakistan’s every aggressive attempt to support terrorism will be dealt with accordingly
Revocation of Article 370: What’s changed for J&K?
The Home Minister began the discussion on the revocation of Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. He said that after the revocation had taken place, tremendous development, peace, and prosperity have occurred in the region. Shah stated that the people of Jammu and Kashmir could enjoy all the rights that a citizen of India could muster the same rights that paved the way for better infrastructure, health care, and educational systems in the state.
According to Shah, it is this removal of Article 370 that has paved the way for the government to tackle terrorism on a much larger level so as to enhance law and order in the country. He further added that over 42,000 lives have been lost because of the policies of the earlier governments, but this new government is resolved that more lives won’t be lost at the hands of terror.
Amit Shah Attacked Congress and National Conference over Reservation
Amit Shah in his speech targeted the Congress and the NC over the issue of reservation of SCs, STs, and OBCs in Jammu and Kashmir. He attacked both parties for not implementing any political reservation policies which could benefit SCs, STs, and other backward classes.
Shah blamed the Congress and NC for ignoring the welfare of these sections for decades while the current government has made sure that reservations are extended to all those sections that deserve to be so. This, he said in the public declaration, is the promise by the BJP for the rights of impoverished sections of people and ensuring them with opportunities to grow and flourish.
“Rahul Baba, We Won’t Let You”: Shah’s Taunt at Rahul Gandhi
In a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Amit Shah termed the latter as “Rahul Baba” and flayed him for misleading the people on abrogation of Article 370 and the government’s reservation policies. Referring to the slogans being raised by the Congress workers in favour of Rahul Gandhi, Amit Shah challenged the Gandhi scion saying the BJP would never let Congress succeed in misleading the people or allow it to brake the development and progress come into Jammu and Kashmir since the removal of Article 370.
This stinging criticism acknowledges the BJP’s efforts to project itself as the party that really cares for the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as compared to failures on the part of previous governments.
Developmental Projects and Employment Opportunities in J&K
Among his political speeches, Amit Shah also included the number of development schemes the centre has initiated in Jammu and Kashmir. He gave mentions of the employment opportunities, infrastructure, and tourism the government has started in the region. Shah declared the scrapping of Article 370 has paved the way for investment and economic activities and has become an avenue for the population of the state.
The Government is working so hard for job opportunities for the youth, improving healthcare facilities, and quality education for children in the region. The government intends to transform Jammu and Kashmir into a model state for the rest of the country,” Home Minister said.
The Road Ahead: Security and Development Gains Priority
Statements by Amit Shah while visiting Jammu and Kashmir vindicate the fact that the government is keenly looking after security in addition to development in the region. Repeating the stance of India regarding terrorism and cooperation with Pakistan for dialogue, it was evident from the statement that national security was the prominent issue. On the other hand, the centrality of development and welfare schemes underscores the intended policy for the Jammu and Kashmir government to make the people of that state better off and become part of the national mainstream.
The Home Minister’s comments against Article 370 being abrogated and his loud criticism of the Congress and National Conference prove that the BJP is still trying hard to establish the fact that it is a promise-fulfilling party that works in the best interest of people.
Conclusion: Good Stand on Terrorism and Commitment towards Development
Amit Shah’s recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir raises up the fact that the Indian government has been quite assiduous about its terrorism approach and intends to get serious about the development of the region. Saying no to any dialogue till it wipes out the menace of terrorism from the region is a re-establishment of India’s stance to ensure peace and security over there itself. An attack on the Congress and National Conference would effectively harden this assertion of the BJP regarding its determination for the welfare and rights of marginalized societies.
As the change accelerates in Jammu and Kashmir, the manner in which its government goes about dealing with terrorism, development, and peace can actually define what the future holds in store for the state.
