Senior BJP leader and  Home Minister, Amit Shah today said there were attempts to revive terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, and added that it will be “buried to such a level” in the Union territory that it can never rise again. Addressing an election rally in support of former minister Sunil Sharma at Padder-Nagseni in Kishtwar, he said that attempts are on to revive terrorism as the National Conference and Congress manifesto talks about releasing terrorists.

Mr Shah said the National Conference-Congress alliance will not be able to form government in J&K.  He said the leaders of NC-Congress are saying that if they form the government they will restore Article 370. They will snatch reservations from Paharis and Gujjars and others, which was given by the BJP, he added.

This was Mr Shah’s second visit to the Jammu region within a fortnight. Earlier, during his two-day visit to Jammu on September 6 and 7, he released BJP’s manifesto for J&K Assembly elections and addressed a workers convention. Today is the last day for campaigning in 24 assembly constituencies, including 8 assembly seats of Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban, which goes to polls in the first phase on September 18.
