Amit Shah Rules Out Restoration of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir

September 6, 2024, 5:49 pm

During the unveiling of the manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Home Minister Amit Shah firmly rejected the possibility of restoring Article 370, which previously granted special status to the former state. He stated that the provision has now “become history.”

The National Conference, contesting the elections in an alliance with the Congress, has included the restoration of Article 370, which was abrogated in 2019, in its manifesto. These elections, the first since 2014, are being closely monitored to assess public sentiment in Jammu and Kashmir regarding the removal of the provision. In 2019, Jammu and Kashmir was also bifurcated into two Union Territories, including Ladakh. The government has assured that Jammu and Kashmir will regain statehood soon.

On a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Shah emphasized the significance of the region to the BJP since India’s Independence, highlighting the party’s longstanding efforts to keep Jammu and Kashmir connected to the country.

“Till 2014, the shadow of separatism and terrorism hung over Jammu and Kashmir. Various state and non-state actors tried to destabilise it and governments adopted a policy of appeasement. But, whenever the history of India and Jammu and Kashmir is written, the years between 2014 and 2024 will be written in golden letters for J&K,” the minister said in Hindi.

“There was a time when, under the shadow of Article 370, we saw governments bowing down to the demands of separatists and organisations like the Hurriyat. In these 10 years, Article 370 and 35-A (which gave the J&K legislature the right to define permanent residents and give them special privileges) have become part of the past. They are not part of the Constitution,” he added.

Shah stressed that the abrogation of Article 370 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 5, 2019, has led to development in the region. He also remarked that he had reviewed the National Conference’s manifesto and noted the Congress’ “silent support” for it.

“But I want to make it clear to the country: Article 370 has become history. It can never come back and we will never allow it to come back. Because Article 370 was what led to the youth being handed guns and stones in Kashmir,” he said.

Regarding the Assembly polls, Shah mentioned that the BJP’s manifesto focuses on creating a “peaceful, safe, developed and prosperous” Jammu and Kashmir.

The elections will be conducted in three phases, starting from September 18 to October 1, with counting scheduled for October 8.

Congress’ Chief Kharge Criticizes BJP Manifesto, Calls It Untrustworthy

April 14, 2024, 12:51 pm

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over its recently released election manifesto, alleging that the ruling party has not undertaken any significant initiatives in its years of governance that would benefit the youth and farmers of the country. Kharge expressed his doubts about the BJP’s manifesto, stating that it cannot be trusted.

“He (PM Narendra Modi) had said that he will double farmers’ income. He had said that he would increase MSP and give a legal guarantee – this is the guarantee. He didn’t do any such big work in his tenure that would benefit all the people of the country. The youth is looking for jobs. Inflation is rising. He is not worried about inflation, unemployment,” Kharge said.

Kharge further stated that the BJP’s manifesto indicates that the ruling party has little to offer the people. “It won’t be right to trust their manifesto again. It proves that he has nothing to offer people,” he added.

BJP’s manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections, titled ‘Sankalp Patra’ and with the tagline ‘Modi’s Guarantee 2024’, focuses on women’s empowerment, youth upliftment, and poverty alleviation. The manifesto aims to address the needs of the ‘Gareeb’ (poor), ‘Yuva’ (youth), ‘Annadaata’ (farmers), and ‘Nari’ (women), and also emphasizes on India’s prosperity, strengthening international relations, and fostering development.

Congress leader Manish Tewari, who is also a party candidate in the general elections, questioned the BJP about the burden of inflation on the common man. “What people want to know is why the common man is reeling under the burden of inflation,” he said, highlighting the concerns of the people regarding rural distress and issues like the MNREGA budget increase.

“The discontent on the ground is going to translate into an electoral defeat for the NDA-BJP,” Tewari added.

The Lok Sabha elections in India are scheduled to take place from April 19, 2024, to June 1, 2024, conducted over seven phases with the results declared on June 4.

BJP Manifesto 2024: Party Promises UCC Implementation In ‘Sankalp Patra’

April 14, 2024, 11:01 am

The BJP has pledged to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in its manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The party released its “Sankalp Patra” at its headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

The party said that until a common legal code is implemented, women will not get equal rights.

“Article 44 of the Constitution lists Uniform Civil Code as one of the Directive Principles of State Policy. BJP believes that there cannot be gender equality till such time Bharat adopts a Uniform Civil Code, which protects the rights of all women, and the BJP reiterates its stand to draw a Uniform Civil Code, drawing upon the best traditions and harmonising them with the modern times,” the BJP said in its manifesto.

The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is contemplated as a common set of laws for citizens governing personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption, irrespective of religion, sex, gender or caste. If introduced, acts such as the Hindu Marriage Act, the Hindu Succession Act, the Christian Marriage Act, the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, and other such codified laws will be repealed.

UCC has been a long-standing poll promise of BJP, right from its Jana Sangh days, and has featured in the party’s manifesto time and again.

The party first raised the pitch for UCC after the Shah Bano case of 1985, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Muslim woman, who was abandoned by her husband, was entitled to receive alimony under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, irrespective of personal laws.

During News18’s “Rising Bharat Summit” in March, Union home minister Amit Shah reiterated the BJP’s promise to bring UCC across the country, saying there should be a common legal code for everyone in India.

Notably, Uttarakhand became the first state in India to implement UCC earlier this year.

The proposals of a nationwide UCC include monogamy, equal inheritance rights for sons and daughters, and gender and religion-neutral laws pertaining to wills, charitable activities, religious practices, guardianship and custody arrangements.

As the BJP unveiled its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, party national president JP Nadda addressed a gathering of leaders at the party headquarters in the national capital, emphasizing that the manifesto reflects the vision of the BJP’s founding fathers for the country.

Nadda stated, “Our manifesto reflects what the founding fathers of the BJP had envisioned for the country.” He highlighted Prime Minister Modi’s articulation of this vision as “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas,” which he described as a simplification for the common man to understand.

Nadda criticized the Congress party for what he called “politics for vote bank,” accusing Congress lawyers of obstructing the judicial process for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He stated, “They did vote bank politics and kept creating obstacles but under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, a grand Ram temple was built.”

Regarding the achievements of the ruling government, Nadda mentioned the construction of four crore houses under the PM Awas Yojana, with 55.5% of Jan Dhan accounts opened in the name of women. He also noted the distribution of over 10 crore gas cylinders under the Ujjwala scheme and the construction of more than 11 crore Izzat Ghars across the country. Additionally, he highlighted infrastructure development, stating that “60,000 new villages have been connected with pucca roads.”

Nadda praised PM Modi’s leadership, stating that “25 crore people in India have risen above the poverty line” under his governance. He also mentioned the connectivity of “1.2 lakh panchayats with optical fibre,” providing internet facilities to rural areas, and cited the International Monetary Fund’s acknowledgment that “extreme poverty in India has reduced to less than 1%.”

He paid tribute to Dr. BR Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, noting his fight for social justice and affirming the BJP’s commitment to the same cause.

The Lok Sabha polls are scheduled from April 19, 2024, to June 1, 2024, across seven phases, with 970 million individuals eligible to vote. These elections will coincide with legislative assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, and Sikkim, along with by-elections for 35 seats across 16 states.
