Bharatiya Janata Party senior leader and Former Union Minister Smt. Smriti Irani addressed a press conference at the party's central office on Thursday. During the conference, Smt. Irani condemned the Congress-led INDI Alliance for passing a resolution seeking to reinstate Article 370 in the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly, also affirmed that the abrogation of Article 370 will not be reinstated and the INDI Alliance's efforts to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India will not succeed.

Smt. Irani challenged Congress leadership, particularly the Gandhi family, to clarify whether they support terrorism or the development of Jammu and Kashmir. Smt. Irani accused the INDI Alliance of attempting to undermine the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir, despite having pledged to uphold it. She condemned the actions of the Congress-led INDI Alliance, alleging that they trampled on the rights of tribals, Dalits, and women in J&K. An awakened India will not tolerate such actions.

Former Union Minister Smt. Irani stated that the resolution passed by the INDI Alliance yesterday shows their intent to challenge the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir. She questioned the leaders of the INDI Alliance, asking who gave Congress and the National Conference the authority to disrespect and undermine the decisions of Indian Parliament and Supreme Court? The Dalit and OBC communities in Jammu and Kashmir, after years of struggle, finally received their rightful constitutional protections. Additionally, women, who are constitutionally guaranteed protection from abuse and violence, received their legal safeguards following the revocation of Article 370. She questioned the Congress-led INDI alliance whether they opposed the rights of the tribals, Dalits, women, and children?

Smt. Irani emphasized that yesterday's resolution reflects the tactical support of Congress and INDI Alliance leaders for extremism and terrorism. It is widely known across India that after the abrogation of Article 370, there has been an 80% decrease in the death toll of civilians. Furthermore, terrorist incidents in J&K have dropped by 70% since the removal of Article 370.

BJP Senior leader Smt. Irani remarked that through the democratic system, an elected government should focus on development and unite India, but instead, it is proving to be working towards dividing the country. Smt. Irani conveyed that the abrogation of Article 370 passed by the Parliament will not be reinstated and the INDI Alliance's efforts to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India will not succeed.

Smt. Irani expressed her outrage as an Indian over the Congress-led INDI alliance's attempt to introduce a resolution in the House that goes against the Indian Constitution and the Supreme Court's ruling.

Former Union Minister Smt. Irani highlighted that tourism in Jammu and Kashmir, especially in the Kashmir Valley, rose to a staggering figure of over 2 crore 11 lakh tourists. Does the Congress-led INDI alliance stand against the economic and constitutional interests of Jammu and Kashmir? Does the Congress-led INDI alliance stand against the very premise of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi offering a package of ₹80,000 crore to the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir? Do they stand against the development work of the Government of India for the people of Jammu and Kashmir?  

BJP Senior leader Smt. Irani pointed out that the outrage is shared by the people of India and the karyakartas of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Congress leadership, particularly the Gandhi family, needs to answer whether they stand for terrorism and are against the development of Jammu and Kashmir? Do they stand for the disintegration of India rather than upholding and abiding by the Constitution of India? The Congress leadership must answer these questions, particularly in the states of Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Do they stand against the valor of citizens who donned the uniforms of the Indian Armed Forces to protect the nation? Do they stand against the rights of tribals, Dalits, OBCs, women, and children? She asserted that what the Congress-led INDI alliance is seeking is a special status for themselves, not for the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir?
