The Union Home Ministry on Friday strongly rejected the suggestion that there is an attempt to curtail the powers of the soon-to-be-elected chief minister or the next elected government in Jammu and Kashmir, saying there is not even an iota of truth in it.

In response to Abdullah's post on X, Shah's office took to the social media platform to say, "Mr @OmarAbdullah's tweet is misleading and speculative in nature. There is not even an iota of truth, as there is absolutely no such proposal." In a post on the microblogging site, the former chief minister said, "The BJP has clearly accepted defeat in J-K.

Kharge's comments on PM Modi absolutely distasteful, disgraceful: Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday termed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public meeting in Jammu and Kashmir "absolutely distasteful and disgraceful". Shah said "a bitter display of spite", Kharge unnecessarily dragged the prime minister into his personal health matters by saying that he would die only after removing Modi from power.

Terrorism won't be allowed to comeback, it has been buried: Shah in J&K

Ahead of the third and final phase of polling in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly election next week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah intensified attacks on the Congress, NC and PDP on Thursday, saying the three dynastic parties are responsible for terrorism, which has been buried by the BJP and will not be allowed to stage a comeback.
