India rose in the ranks of top exporting countries under PM Modi’s leadership: Amit Shah
Ahmedabad:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said people should watch the “The Kashmir Files” to learn how atrocities and terror gripped the Kashmir Valley “during Congress rule”, speaking about the film that depicts events that began when a BJP-backed government was in power at the centre.
The senior BJP leader was speaking at a program organized by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.
“Those who have not watched it, must watch the movie to learn how atrocities and terror gripped Kashmir during Congress rule,” he said in reference to the movie that shows incidents that happened when the VP Singh government, supported by the BJP, ruled at the centre.
“When you made Narendra bhai (Narendra Modi) Prime Minister for a second time, he removed Article 370 on August 5, 2019. The moment Narendra bhai decided to do that, people across the country realised that if a leader with strong willpower like Narendra bhai leads the country, nothing is impossible,” he added.
“The Kashmir Files”, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, revolves around the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from their native state after Pakistan-backed terrorists targeted the community in the early 1990s. While it has also sparked off a debate about the way the tragedy of Kashmir Pandits has been depicted in the film, some BJP-ruled states have exempted it from entertainment tax.
Mr Shah, meanwhile, also said that the country rose in the ranks of top exporting countries under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.
Speaking at another programme in Gandhinagar earlier in the day, he said the BJP’s “massive” victory in Assembly elections in four states was a testimony to the acceptance of policies and projects undertaken by PM Modi to make India “safe, prosperous and powerful.”
“And in all these four states, Congress is finished, it is nowhere to be seen. The massive victory reflects the trust that the people of India have in the leadership of Narendra bhai,” he said.
The Union minister laid foundation stones for projects worth Rs 367 crore including those under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Gandhinagar, his Lok Sabha constituency.
