Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, according to senior Congressman Jairam Ramesh, unintentionally revealed the “Modi-Shah game plan” of seeking to amend Article 371 of the Indian Constitution on Saturday.
When Kharge accidentally brought up Article 371 while discussing the repeal of Article 370, he sparked controversy. The error was quickly recognised by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who stated that such errors by Congress have “haunted our nation for decades now.”
Ramesh explained that Kharge’s remarks were a “slip of the tongue” and that the president of the Congress “clearly meant Article 370.”
“Amit Shah attacked the Congress President right away. However, Article 371-A concerning Nagaland, Article 371-B concerning Assam, Article 371-C concerning Manipur, Article 371-F concerning Sikkim, Article 371-G concerning Mizoram, and Article 371-H concerning Arunachal Pradesh are the ones that Modi wants to amend, according to Ramesh.
“Incidentally, Kharge ji was the man singularly responsible for Article 371-J relating to the erstwhile Hyderabad-Karnataka region, which he accomplished only after Dr. Manmohan Singh became PM,” he said.
The Congress general secretary stated, “Amit Shah got all excited and agitated because Khargeji accidentally exposed the Modi-Shah gameplan on Article 371; now that they have gotten Article 370 out of the way,”
Mallikarjun Kharge was heard saying, “They (the BJP) are coming here and saying that they removed 371,” during a public event in Jaipur, according to a video Amit Shah posted on his X account on Saturday. What connection does it make to the individuals present? Going to Jammu and Kashmir to talk about that is acceptable.
Shah responded to Kharge’s remarks: “For the Congress’s good information, the Modi government repealed Article 370 rather than Article 371. But such heinous errors are just to be expected from Congress. Such mistakes caused by it have plagued our country for many years,” Shah continued.
