Amit Shah suggested that Article 370 led to the birth of separatism and terrorism until its abrogation in 2019.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that after independence, those who loved the country felt bad that its vision was not "Bharat-centric" until the time that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister.
"After independence, those who loved the country and had knowledge about it and had respect for the word 'Bharat', felt bad that though the country is free, its vision was not Bharat-centric but on something else. This was in the minds of many for several years," Shah said on Saturday while attending the Pujya Purani Swami Smriti Mahotsav organised by Swaminarayan Gurukul Vishwavidya Pratishthanam in Ahmedabad.
"All Bharatiya Janata Party workers started working on changing this vision from 1950 onwards. Several generations of our party strived to make that happen, and many even lost their lives till the day came when Gujarat's Chief Minister became the country's Prime Minister and the whole world was singing the praise of Bharat," Shah added.
