Until there is peace, there will be no talks with Pakistan, he firmly declared.Criticism of manifestos and terrorism concernsAmit Shah also criticized the oppositions approach, alleging that their policies would enable terrorism and endanger reservations for marginalized communities. Congress and NC want to bring back two flags and Article 370 to Jammu and Kashmir. They want to snatch the reservations of Gujjars, Bakarwals, Paharis, and Dalits. We wont let that happen, Shah remarked.Further attacking their stance, he claimed they wanted to release criminals involved in terrorism and reopen Line of Control (LoC) trade with Pakistan, which he argued would only fund terrorism. “The profit from LoC trade will be used to spread terrorism. They want to talk to Pakistan, but until there is peace, there will be no dialogue.”Shah concluded by urging BJP booth workers to campaign with vigor, emphasizing the partys commitment to peace, development, and equal rights for Jammu and Kashmir.
