Want a Jammu and Kashmir where no life is lost due to terrorism, says Amit Shah

The Hindu  

There is peace in Jammu and Kashmir and this peace has to be permanent, and the Narendra Modi government's aim is to make a Jammu and Kashmir where no life is lost due to terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in New Delhi on Monday. Interacting with youngsters from Jammu and Kashmir who have come to the national capital under the Watan Ko Jano youth exchange programme, Mr. Shah also said the people of Jammu and Kashmir had equal rights over the entire country, like the people of any other State, and the entirety of India looked at the people of the Union Territory with love and respect. When you go home, tell your friends, neighbours that the entire country is living in peace and the people of Jammu and Kashmir should also live in peace," Mr. Shah said. Mr. Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made the country equal for all by abrogating Article 370 and, now, the people of Jammu and Kashmir had equal rights anywhere in India, like the people of Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat or Rajasthan.
