On Monday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah recalled the blunder committed in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, while praising PM Narendra Modi for correcting it during his tenure.
‘Jawaharlal Nehru made an error when he implemented Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which was abrogated by PM Modi who also raised Bharatiya flag in the Union Territory’, said Amit Shah.
Addressing the public rally in Jodhpur, Amit Shah said, ‘PM Modi has fulfilled all the promises that we made since the foundation of the BJP’.
Shah added, ‘Former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru committed a blunder by implementing Article 370 in Kashmir. PM Modi put an end to Article 370 on August 5, 2019, and raised the Indian flag in Kashmir’.
Amit Shah also blamed Jawaharlal Nehru for the part in Jammu and Kashmir which is currently occupied by Pakistan, saying because of these two blunders, Kashmir had to suffer for years.
This is not the first time Jawahar Lal Nehru’s name had been mentioned during the debates on Jammu and Kashmir.
While replying to a debate on the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in Lok Sabha, Amit Shah noted that Jawaharlal Nehru made two blunders– declared a ceasefire without winning the entire Kashmir (during Bharat-Pakistan war in 1948) and also took the Kashmir issue to the United Nations.
