No dialogue with Pak till terrorism is eliminated

New Delhi/ Srinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the Central government would not engage in any talks with Pakistan until terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is eradicated. He made the remarks during an election rally in Nowshera, ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.

Shah came down heavily on the Opposition parties, including the National Conference (NC) and Congress, for demanding the reinstatement of Article 370, which granted special status to the region before its abrogation in 2019. Shah said,

"Farooq Abdullah says that they will bring back Article 370. Farooq Sahab, nobody can bring back Article 370. Now, bunkers are not needed because no one can dare to fire bullets.
