J&K needs BJP Govt for peace, teaching Pak a lesson and befitting reply to terrorists: Shah

There will be no talks with Pakistan till terrorism is eliminated, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday, asserting it is imperative that the BJP comes to power in Jammu and Kashmir to ensure peace and teach the neighbouring country a lesson.

Addressing an election rally here, Shah also slammed the Gandhi and Abdullah families claiming they have joined hands to end reservation but they will not be allowed to do so.

“After the counting of votes on October 8, your so-called ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ is going to be closed,” Shah said, taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s slogan of ‘Nafrat Ke Bazaar Mein, Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ which he often used during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.

The home minister castigated the National Conference, Congress and PDP over the issue of terrorism and said no stone-pelter or terrorist will be released from jail.

After forming a government in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP will issue a white paper to expose the role of the three families who had ‘biryani’ with terrorists, he told the rally in support of J-K BJP president Ravinder Raina ahead of the second phase of elections on September 25.

Shah said he would like to talk to the youths of Jammu and Kashmir whom he referred to as “lions”.

“The BJP government is a must in J&K for peace, prosperity and development besides giving a befitting reply to terrorism and teaching a lesson to Pakistan,” Shah said, urging them to vote for BJP candidates, especially Raina whom he praised for strengthening the party in the region.

This was the sixth rally of the home minister in the Jammu region in the past two days after reaching the city of temples on a three-day visit Friday evening. He held five rallies — Mendhar, Surankote, Thanamandi, Rajouri and Akhnoor — on Saturday.
