Party foundation day: Shah asks BJP workers to chant Kashmir slogans

Ahmedabad, Apr 6: BJP president Amit Shah, who is contesting the Lok Sabha election from Gandhinagar seat, Saturday embarked on a roadshow in the city, on the 39th foundation day of his party.
Before the roadshow, which started from Sarkhej area of Ahmedabad in the morning, Shah garlanded the pictures of Jan Sangh founders Deen Dayal Upadhyaya and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
Shah asked the people present there to chant, “Jaha hue balidan Mukherjee, woh Kashmir hamara hai, sara ka sara hamara hai.” (Where Mukhejee sacrificed his life, that Kashmir is ours, entire Kashmir is ours).
PDP chief and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti had recently criticised Shah, saying he was “daydreaming” about abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution that provides special status to the state.
Shah set out on the roadshow in an open vehicle with BJP state unit president Jitu Vaghani accompanying him.
The BJP chief had filed his nomination last Saturday in the presence of Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Vijay Rupani.
