Before the assembly elections on 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress and National Conference have formed an alliance. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has strongly targeted them on this. Amit Shah said that Congress, which has repeatedly played with the unity and security of the country in the greed for power, has once again put its intentions in front of the country by forming an alliance with the National Conference of the Abdullah family in the Jammu and Kashmir elections.
Amit Shah has asked 10 questions to the Congress Party and Rahul Gandhi on the manifesto of the National Conference.
1) Does Congress support National Conference’s promise of a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir again?
2) Does Rahul Gandhi and Congress party support JKNC’s decision to push Jammu and Kashmir back into the era of unrest and terrorism by bringing back Article 370 and Article 35A?
3) Does Congress support promoting separatism again by talking to Pakistan instead of the youth of Kashmir?
4) Do the Congress Party and Rahul Gandhi once again support cross-border terrorism and nurturing its ecosystem by the National Conference’s decision to resume ‘LoC trade’ with Pakistan?
5) Does Congress support bringing back the era of terrorism, terror and shutdown by re-employing the family members of those involved in terrorism and stone-pelting incidents in government jobs?
6) This alliance has exposed the anti-reservation face of Congress party. Is Congress supporting JKNC’s promise to end the reservation of Dalits, Gujjars, Bakarwals and Paharis and do injustice to them again?
7) Does Congress want ‘Shankaracharya Mountain’ to be known as ‘Takht-e-Suliman’ and ‘Hari Mountain’ to be known as ‘Koh-e-Maran’?
8) Does Congress support throwing the economy of Jammu and Kashmir into the fire of corruption once again and handing it over to a handful of Pakistan-backed families?
9) Does Congress Party support JKNC’s politics of discrimination between Jammu and Valley?
10) Do Congress and Rahul Gandhi support JKNC’s divisive thinking and policies of giving autonomy to Kashmir?
