A statement of Congress veteran and former Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde is in the news. In this, he is seen saying that when I was the Home Minister, I was advised to go to Kashmir. When I did this, I got a lot of publicity, but I was scared. Saying this, Sushil Kumar Shinde laughed a lot and said that he said this to make people laugh.
Sushil Shinde said, before entering politics I used to take advice from Vijay Dhar ji. Before I was the Home Minister, I used to go to Vijay Dhar and ask for advice from him, so he gave me such a genuine advice that Sushil, don’t wander here and there. Go to Lal Chowk and give a speech there. Meet some people and roam around in Dal Lake. I got a lot of publicity from that advice and the message went to the people that there is a Home Minister who goes without fear, but my f@# (objectionable) was, whom should I tell. No, this is true. But I said it to make people laugh.
BJP surrounded
BJP has started cornering Congress on this statement of Sushil Kumar Shinde. Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal wrote on social media, ‘During the rule of Congress, even the Home Minister of the country was afraid of going to Kashmir. But now, under the leadership of PM Modi, the security of the nation is so strong that even the ‘opposition leaders’ play with snow in Kashmir, without any fear.
‘Now 2-3 crore tourists come to Kashmir’
At the same time, Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav criticized the former Home Minister’s statement on social media and wrote, the difference is clear. While the Home Minister was afraid to go out in Kashmir during the Congress rule, now in the Modi era, 2-3 crore tourists are visiting Jammu and Kashmir every year.
He further said, the abrogation of Article 370 has strengthened democracy, reduced the influence of corrupt political dynastic families and brought positive changes in the lives of Kashmiris.
Apart from this, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala said on a social media post, ‘Congress needs to pay attention to Shinde’s words. UPA era Home Minister Sushil Shinde admitted that he was afraid of going to Jammu and Kashmir. But today Rahul Gandhi can be easily seen doing Bharat Jodo Yatra and snow fighting in Kashmir. But the National Conference and Congress want to take Jammu and Kashmir back to the days of terrorism.’
