The Union Home Minister added, “Due to Article 370, Gurjar, Pahari and tribal brothers were not getting their rights. The Modi government removed Article 370. Now everyone is getting equal rights here. Modi ji has done the work of doing justice to everyone by abolishing Article 370.”

It said, “The Home Minister said that BJP tightened the noose on terrorism and today ‘terrorism is on the death bed’.”
