Jammu, September 21:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached Mendhar on Saturday to give momentum to the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. Addressing the public meeting here, he said that do you remember how much firing used to take place in Jammu and Kashmir in the 90s… Does firing take place now? Earlier firing used to take place here because the masters here were afraid of Pakistan, now Pakistan is afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They do not have the courage to fire and if they fire, the bullets will be answered with shells.
Attacking the opposition parties, he said that these people (Congress and National Conference) have said that we will end reservation, while we (BJP) are saying that we will give reservation to Gujjar Bakarwals and Paharis in promotions as well. After PM Modi came, OBCs, backwards, Gujjar Bakarwals and Paharis got reservation. When I presented the bill, Farooq Abdullah’s party opposed it and started instigating Gujjar brothers here. When I came to Rajouri, I had promised that we will not reduce the reservation of Gujjar brothers and will give reservation to Paharis as well… and we kept our promise.
