‘Separatism breathing its last’: Amit Shah as two more Hurriyat groups denounce separatism in J&K

Union Home Minister Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday announced that two more constituents of constituents of the Jammu and Kashmir-based Hurriyat Conference have discarded separatism and reposed their faith in the “new Bharat” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He further stated that “separatism is breathing its last” in the valley.

Taking to X, Shah wrote, “Another great news from Kashmir Valley. Two more groups affiliated with the Hurriyat, namely J&K Tahreeqi Isteqlal and J&K Tahreek-I-Istiqamat, have discarded separatism and reposed their trust in the new Bharat built by PM Shri @narendramodi Ji.”

“Under the Modi government, separatism is breathing its last, and the triumph of unity is echoing across Kashmir,” he added.

The development comes two days after a similar move by two other Hurriyat affiliates.

On March 25, the Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement (JKPM) and the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Political Movement (JKDPM) announced the severing of all ties with separatism – a development which was hailed by Shah.

“Separatism has become history in Kashmir. The unifying policies of the Modi government have tossed separatism out of J&K. Two organisations associated with the Hurriyat have announced the severing of all ties with separatism,” he wrote on X.

The Union Home Minister welcomed the step “towards strengthening Bharat's unity” and also urged all such groups to “come forward and shed separatism once and for all”.

“It is a big victory for PM Shri @narendramodi Ji's vision of building a developed, peaceful and unified Bharat,” he said.
