Shah's warning to the opposition on opposition to removal of 370

During the debate in Rajya Sabha, Amit Shah warned the opposition opposing the removal of Article 370 to come back, otherwise even as many as you are will not survive. In fact, during the debate on the bill throughout the day, the opposition kept blaming the Supreme Court's decision as wrong. The opposition walked out of the Rajya Sabha during Amit Shah's reply on the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill.

Amit Shah said that after the passing of these bills, there will be 43 assembly seats in Jammu instead of 37 and 47 assembly seats in Kashmir instead of 46. Earlier there were a total of 83 seats, now there will be 90.

Ladakh has not been included in this yet. Whereas 24 seats are reserved for PoK, because we consider it a part of India. 9 seats are reserved for SC/ST.

Major points of Amit Shah's statement after the debate

• Those who say Article 370 is permanent. They are insulting the Constitution and the Constituent Assembly. After the Supreme Court's decision on abrogation of Article 370, the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir has no validity.
• I have already promised that the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir will be restored at the appropriate time. Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir gave rise to separatism which resulted in promotion of terrorism.
• The Supreme Court's decision on Jammu and Kashmir is a big defeat for the opposition parties. The decision to remove Section 370 is constitutional. PoK is part of India. No one can snatch even an inch of India's land.
• Those who raised questions have got the answer. The rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir were restricted by three families and these people were enjoying Article 370.
• The court has also accepted that imposing President's rule was not a wrong decision. The Supreme Court has rejected the claim of the petitioners.
• SC held that Article 370 was a temporary provision, there is no doubt about it. If Article 370 was so appropriate and necessary, why would Nehru have used the word temporary before it?
• There are more Muslims in Bengal and other states than in Jammu and Kashmir, but why is separatism and terrorism more prevalent there?
• Anyone and no matter how big a person can make a mistake. You people should return otherwise you will not be saved as many as you are.
• Dhankhar got angry when Periyar was mentioned.
• During the debate on the bill, there was a heated argument between the BJP and the opposition in the Rajya Sabha. Quoting the controversial statement of EV Ramaswamy Periyar, the father of the Dravidian movement, a DMK MP said that every community has the right to decide its identity.

Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar got angry on this. He said in a strict tone that anti-national statements are not allowed in the House. During the discussion, DMK MP M Abdullah had commented on the Supreme Court's decision on removing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.

Congress MP Venugopal protested when the MP was stopped. After this there was an uproar. Then the Chairman asked M Abdullah to complete his statement. Abdullah mentioned Periyar's statement in his speech.

Periyar had advocated a separate country, Dravida Nadu, in South India. Abdullah said that this also applies to the people of Kashmir. Chairman Dhankhar did not consider this right. It was also removed from the records of the House.

Dhankhar said- MPs were taking oxygen from this statement. After this, MP Tiruchi Siva said in support of DMK MP M Abdullah that what is wrong in quoting Periyar.
