The Story in Brief
Union Home Minister Amit Shah warned that those supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir would face the fate of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, The Hindu reports. Speaking at an election rally in Chenani on Thursday, Shah also said Article 370 could not be restored and accused the Congress, National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party of failing to counter terrorism.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged voters to back the BJP, linking its victory to the possibility of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir becoming part of India. Shah said statehood for Jammu and Kashmir would be restored through Parliament after the elections, repeating a promise also made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Indian Opinion
Election rhetoric is turning a complex question into a contest of patriotic claims. The BJP’s promise on statehood is not the same as restoring Article 370, which Shah has ruled out. Claims that regional parties alone can revive terrorism, or that a BJP victory will automatically change the status of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, also go beyond the facts presented. The useful test is whether Parliament restores statehood after the election, as promised.
