With National Conference returning to power after assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister Giriraj Singh has ruled out restoration of Article 370 in the Constitution that was abrogated on August 5, 2019 by Parliament. The Union Minister, known for his hardliner Hindutva stance, told Rajat Sharma in 'Aap Ki Adalat' show, "even if Rahul Gandhi and Farooq Abdullah offer Namaaz prayers every morning at the top of their voice, Article 370 is not going to return". (Rahul Gandhi Aur Farooq Abdullah chilla-chilla karke bhore namaz padh lein, tab bhi 370 phir se nahin aane wala hai) Giriraj Singh said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi left no stone unturned for development of Kashmir, and yet Muslim voters in the Valley did not vote for BJP." Rajat Sharma: You have to win their hearts..? Giriraj Singh: "Tell me, how can we win their hearts? Should I tear open my chest like Hanuman Ji?....Even if I do their 'aarti', they (Muslim voters) never voted for me." The Union Minister said, "there was a time not long back when people feared going to Kashmir Valley because of stone throwing incidents and terrorists. After Modi Ji revoked Article 370, people can now freely move in Lal Chowk. Hotels have reopened, Modi's policies brought peace and progress in Kashmir. Modi Ji removed stone throwers who were being encouraged by Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and Congress. I was hoping that Muslims would vote for us in the Valley. Now they will have to think. (Ab Unko Sochna Hai)." 99% OF TERRORISTS ARRESTED ARE MUSLIMS The Union Minister said, "I am not saying that all Muslims are terrorists, but the question arises, why 99 per cent of all terrorists arrested are Muslims?" When Rajat Sharma pointed out that terrorists have no religion, Giriraj Singh replied: "This is only for saying so. It's religion which is the reason. What else is the reason? Why are there no more bomb blasts during Narendra Modi's rule? Ten years ago, there used to be bomb blasts and modules were being busted. 99 per cent of terrorists arrested were Muslims. This begs a question." Rajat Sharma: You can at least loudly say that all Muslims are not terrorists. Only a handful are terrorists... Giriraj Singh: I am saying the same thing. All Muslims are not terrorists, but 90 per cent of those arrested (on terror charges) are Muslims. Why shouldn't I say this? Rajat Sharma: At least you can praise those Muslims who are doing good work? Giriraj Singh: I do praise. I pay my respects to those who do good work. The Union Minister alleged that madrasas and mosques are being used to encourage terrorists. He said, "In 1947, there were hardly 3,000 mosques in India, and now there are more than 3 lakh mosques. They illegally occupy land on Nepal and Bangladesh border. Yogi Ji (UP CM) carried out a probe and found that more than 500 madarsas were being illegally run....Madarsas and mosques have become home of terrorism (Aatank Ka Ghar). Instead of educating kids to become good human beings, they are being taught to tread the wrong path." Rajat Sharma: You had once described Deoband as the 'gangotri' of terrorism? Giriraj Singh: Who is Masood Azhar? He was a product of Deoband (Darul Uloom). Tell me, should I call him a 'dharmatma'(pious soul) or a terrorist. There are dozens of terrorists from Deoband. Some are dead, some are alive. PARTITION WAS ON RELIGIOUS LINES, INDIA BELONGS TO HINDUS The Union Textile Minister minced no words in declaring that India, post-Partition, belongs to Hindus. "Main Danke Ki Chot Par Kehta Hoon (I am saying this emphatically). India was partitioned in 1947 on religious lines. If the country was partitioned on religious lines, and had Pandit Nehru sent all Muslims (to Pakistan), neither would we have a Waqf Board, nor Owaisi would have emerged, nor Burhan Wani. Nasrallah (Hezbollah chief) dies in Lebanon, and our Bhais here in Delhi and Mumbai have stomach ache. Why?..If you display your affection for Nasrallah, then we will have difficulty. You eat here and sing songs for those people? Yeh Nahin Chalega, Nahin Chalega." {twitter:twitter.com/indiatvnews/status/1845140051581153656}
