Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday that the president of the Peoples Democratic Party must realize that the Tricolour is immortal and will always stay, citing the statements made by former chief of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti in 2017 that “there will be no one to shoulder the Indian flag in Kashmir” if Article 370 is repealed.
Addressing a public meeting in Jammu’s Paloura, Amit Shah said,” Now nobody has the guts to raise slogans for Pakistan. Slogans of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ can only be heard. PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti had said that if Article 370 is removed, then nobody will be left to give a shoulder to the tricolour. She needs to understand that this tricolour is immortal and will always stay. Article 370 was scrapped and the Tricolour still flies with pride and glory.”
Amit Shah further said that today, youth in Jammu and Kashmir have laptops instead of stones in their hands.
