‘Time to sideline the people of Jammu is over’: Amit Shah on first visit to UT since abrogation of Article 370

Home Minister Amit Shah said at a public meeting here on Sunday that the time to sideline the people of Jammu is over and now both Kashmir and Jammu will develop together. Shah is on a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, his first visit after the Center revoked the erstwhile state’s special status and bifurcated it into union territories on August 5, 2019.

Addressing the rally in Bhagwati Nagar area, the Home Minister said that now no one will be able to hinder the development of Jammu and Kashmir. He said an investment of Rs 12,000 crore has already been made in the Union Territory and the government aims to invest a total of Rs 51,000 crore by the end of 2022.

He said that if the youth join in the development of Jammu and Kashmir, the terrorists will fail in their sinister designs. The Home Minister said that the goal of the government is that no civilian is killed in the violence and terrorism should be wiped out from Jammu and Kashmir.

Shah reached the well-attended rally amid thunderous applause and sloganeering by the people. Police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in large numbers in and around the venue.
