Srinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that he development that Kashmir has not witnessed for the past 70 years, we will be able to show in the next year. He said, “Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, the government was naturally busy fighting the fight against it. The pace of work has increased again there for four-five months”.
When asked about the law and order situation in Kashmir, he said that everything is under control. As far as the Abdullah and Mufti families are concerned, it is natural for them to protest because they have ruled there for so many years under the garb of 370.
They deliberately tried to keep the poor remain poor and they patronised corruption. The mines of corruption have now been closed, he added. Amit Shah said that the detention of Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, and Mehbooba Mufti has been fulfilled, Amit Shah said the objective has been met with to a large extent, but due to the COVID situation it was slowed down a bit.
He also responded to the question of Mehbooba approaching the Supreme Court to know why was she kept under house arrest? Amit Shah said earlier she was not under house arrest but was under arrest so that she could not provoke the sentiments of people.
Because of the kind of statements that used to come at that time, the move to arrest her and then put her under house arrest was appropriate. As soon as the situation became normal, everyone has been allowed to come out. He also made it clear that they should run their party. There are many parties in this country, and they should also be followed in Jammu and Kashmir. (PTK)
