JAMMU/SRINAGAR: Attempts are being made to revive the tumult of the 90s in J&K, but the Narendra Modi government will bury terrorism so deep that it never rears its head again, home minister Amit Shah said Monday at a campaign rally in Kishtwar district of Jammu division.

Terrorists will show up now and then, only to be wiped out."

"NC-Congress functionaries are saying that if they form the government, they will restore Article 370 .
Tell me, should it be restored?" the home minister said to a chorus of "no" from the audience. "Don’t worry, I am there and watching the situation in J&K. Rest assured that neither (Farooq) Abdullah's nor Rahul Gandhi's party will be forming the government.
