Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi slammed centre and J&K govt today while opening new Shyamaprasad Mukherjee river bridge on river Tapi in Surat. Modi congratulated BJP Youth Morcha youths for their bid to unfurl Indian tricolor in Srinagar.

“Will our country continue to succumb to the motives of terrorists? If terrorists challenge us, should we keep stepping back?”

“I have never seen such ‘nikkammi’ government. I congratulate those youths who have taken challenge to go to Kashmir to hoist tricolor. They should be welcomed, they should be congratulated. Those who wish to do something for the nation should be over in our eyes, and on our heads, and you are sending them in jail? History will never pardon such governments. Amid whatever amount of atrocities, tricolor is this nation’s pride.”

“Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee was first martyr of independent India. Dr. Mukherjee gave his life for Kashmir. His Satyagrah’s slogan was ‘Hindustan me do pradhan, do nishan, do vidhan nahi chalenge.’ There were two Prime ministers, two flags, two constitutions in India, one for Kashmir and other for rest of the country. Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee took challenge to end this situation, and said he would go to the land of Kashmir without passport, visa because Kashmir was his country.”
