Mamata supporting those who wish to divide country: Shah

Stepping up his attack on Mamata Banerjee, BJP president Amit Shah said Wednesday the West Bengal chief minister has extended her support to those who wish to divide the country by separating Kashmir from India.

Addressing a rally here in Bongaon Lok Sabha constituency, Shah said his party will continue its fight to ensure that Kashmir remains an integral part of India, no matter who is in power at the Centre.

"Today we are in power, Narendra Modi is the prime minister. In the coming days, too, he will continue as the PM. But if a day comes when the BJP is no longer at the helm, its workers will still fight to ensure that Kashmir remains an integral part of India," he said.

He iterated that the saffron party, if re-elected to power, will scrap Article 370 of the Constitution in Kashmir - which grants special status to the northernmost state.

"Give us 30 seats from Bengal and we will scrap Article 370 from Kashmir after forming the next BJP government at the Centre," Shah
