After the removal of Article 370, the opposition has been playing politics since then, because they have to justify their role of opposition. This is what the country’s population could understand. But for making New India new strategies have to be focused irrespective of what the opposition parties are thinking about, because their thought process works only on the vote bank politics, least bother for the upliftment of the society. The point where the thought process of the opposition parties ends from there the thought process of Modi government starts.

Recently Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said in Lok Sabha, “Jammu Kashmir mein ram rashtra ki sthapana ho chuki hai (Ram Rashtra has been successfully established in Jammu and Kashmir) commented and disrupted the proceedings and asked what are the parameters of Centre’s normalcy in J&K?.

Amit Shah on his counter allegations said, everything in Jammu and Kashmir is completely normal but unfortunately, he can’t normalize Congress. Their conspiracy theories fell flat on their faces.

Home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday (4^th December 2019) told in Rajya Sabha that the situation in Jammu & Kashmir is completely normal and regarding the cribbing on the internet connectivity in the valley, which is suspended in some area since August 5, will be raised when the local administration of J&K consider it is appropriate to do so now.

Though senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad countered Shah and said the education of children was suffering due to restrictions and insisted that the situation is not normal in Kashmir.

Restrictions on public movement and communications were enforced in J&K in August after the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcated the state into two Union territories — J&K and Ladakh. He further said that several top political leaders of the valley, including the National Conference’s Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, and Peoples Democratic Party’s Mehbooba Mufti, have since been locked up.

On this Shah agreed that the internet is important in the present-day world and that it should be restored but, when it comes to the security of J&K and its people, we have to choose our priorities. He said it was the BJP government only when the internet services were started in Kashmir in 2002 and mobile phones a year later.

On another question on political leaders under custody and further query on if Farooq Abdullah would be allowed to attend Parliament, Minister of Home Affairs, G Kishan Reddy said we should cooperate for that as different people have been arrested from time to time in the national interest.
