NEW DELHI: Amit Shah on Wednesday left no Gandhi generation untouched as he attacked the Congress party over their stance on Article 370 , Muslim reservation and Ram Temple . Strongly reiterating the saffron party's stance on the restoration of special status to Jammu & Kashmir, the home minister said that even if "Indira Gandhi was to return from heaven," Article 370 won't be restored.
Commenting on the Muslim quota row, Shah said that reservation would not provided to the minority community even if "four generations" of Rahul Gandhi demanded.
He also reacted to Congress leader and former home minister Sushlikumar Shinde's comment of 'scared during visit to Lal Chowk.' "Go with grandkids now, you will be safe," Shah said as the UT recorded eighth gunfight between armed forces and the terrorists in November.
"A few days ago, people of Umela group met the President of Congress Party in Maharashtra and said that Muslims should be given reservation. If reservation has to be given to Muslims, then reservation for SC-ST-OBC will have to be cut. Oh Rahul Baba, not only you but even your four generations cannot cut the reservation for SC-ST-OBC and give it to Muslims," Shah said addressing a rally in Maharashtra.
Earlier today, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah clarified that no action had been taken on proposed 4% reservation for Muslims in public works contracts.
Shah also called upon Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray for forming alliance with "those who call Hindus terrorists."
"Uddhav Babu, you are sitting with those people who... opposed renaming Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar, opposed the construction of Ram temple, opposed the abolition of triple talaq, opposed the abolition of Article 370, opposed the surgical strike, you are sitting with those who call Hindus terrorists," he said.
Lashing out at the opposition over opposing Waqf Bill, Shah said, "400-year-old temples, farmers' land and people's houses became Waqf property. We have brought a bill to amend the Waqf Act, but Rahul Baba and Pawar Sahab are opposing the bill. Rahul Gandhi, listen, PM Modi will definitely amend the Waqf Act.
