JAMMU: Home minister Amit Shah Thursday asked J&K terrorists to give up arms and come forward for talks with the government while reiterating that there will be no talks or cross-border trade with Pakistan.
Ahead of the and final phase of polls in J&K next week, Shah addressed five rallies on Thursday and launched a scathing attack on Congress , NC and PDP , accusing these parties of providing protection to terrorism over the last three decades.
Promising a terror-free J&K under the BJP regime, Shah said the NC-Congress alliance would implement Pakistan's agenda if it wins in the UT.
He said Omar says Afzal Guru should not have been hanged. "But I say, whoever spreads terrorism, their place is at the gallows for sure," the minister added.
Extending an olive branch to the terrorists active in J&K, Shah asked them to give up arms and come forward for talks with the government or be prepared to get neutralised at the hands of security forces.
"For vote-bank politics, they (opposition parties) are asking for talks with terrorists . If they (terrorists) want to talk, let them come forward after giving up arms. In the North-East, 10,000 people have surrendered," he said.
At Marh, Shah said NC, Congress and PDP are advocating talks with Pakistan and resumption of cross-border trade.
"We will not talk to Pakistan and PM Modi has stopped the trade that will not be resumed," Shah said.
