Era of insurgency and violence in J&K and Bodoland ended in PM Narendra Modi's rule: Amit Shah

Guwahati: Union Home minister Amit Shah said under Prime minister Narendra Modi there is an end in the era of insurgency and violence in Jammu and Kashmir and Bodoland. There was no bloodshed during the recent Panchayat election.

Shah who was in Kokrajhar to attend the first anniversary of Bodo Accord on Sunday said, “Under Modi article 370 and 35A was removed and insurgency was finished for ever. It was said that there will be this and that if the same is removed. However, a panchayat election was held and there was no bloodshed.”

Shah said, “Even in the recently held election in Bodoland territorial council there was no bloodshed or violence. Not a single bullet was fired and over 80 percent polling took place.”


Asserting that BJP will return to power in Assam with thumping majority, he said, “Due to several decades of violence over 5000 people were killed in Bodoland. Rift was created between Bodos and non Bodos. I am elated as in today’s rally there is participation of both Bodos and non Bodos and they are all children of this country.”

Asserting that government will fulfil all the promises made in Bodo accord, he said, “Prime minister has taken steps to end insurgency in Northeast India. Around 700 armed militants have surrendered in Assam and Bru-Reang issue is solved.”

Attacking congress party, he said that despite ruling for so many decades they could not bring peace. “Congress is lecturing us. Accords and agreements done during congress time was not fulfilled. For years’ youths were misguided and they initiated agitation. What congress could not achieve in 70 years, BJP government achieved in five years in Assam.”
