Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Congress is speaking the “language of Pakistan”, by seeking to restore Article 370 in Kashmir.
“Nobody can bring back Article 370, we have buried it deep in the ground,” Modi said, addressing a rally in Pune, ahead of the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections.
The country will never agree to the demand for restoration of Article 370, he said.
“The Congress has passed a resolution in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly to again implement Article 370. Those who are showing Constitution books to the country and distributing blank books in Maharashtra, I would like to ask them, they (Congress) have ruled the country for 6-7 decades, but why was the Constitution made by Babasaheb Ambedkar not implemented in the whole of India?” he said.
“With the blessings of the people, Modi, your ‘sevak’, has buried Article 370 deep into the ground. Article 370 separated Kashmir from India and promoted terrorism and separatism in Kashmir.
“Article 370 did not allow the Constitution of India to be applied in Kashmir. BJP abrogated Article 370 and hoisted the tricolour. We restored peace in Kashmir and thwarted the plans of the separatists,” he said.
