The home minister said that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has been peaceful since the repeal of Article 370 and not a single bullet has been fired.

Article 370 that gave special powers to Jammu and Kashmir was nullified by the Union government on August 5. Soon after, the administration imposed restrictions in the Valley.

On Monday, the Supreme Court asked the government to take all steps to restore normalcy in J&K But stressed there were “formidable reasons” for the restrictions imposed by the government.

Amit Shah said the perception about India changed after the surgical strike and the air strike. “This is a decisive and determined and non-corrupt government. Whether it was the decision of air strike or surgical strike…we decided that we would never compromise with the security of this country,” he added.
