Home Minister said, for the first time since Independence, the electorate of Jammu and Kashmir will cast their votes under one flag – the Tricolour and under one Constitution drafted by Babasaheb Ambedkar. Mr Shah accused the opposition parties for wanting to bring back the old system in Jammu and Kashmir and start talks with Pakistan. He asserted that till there is no peace, there will be no talks with Pakistan. He said the NDA Government will not allow injustice to with any community including Gujjars, Pahari, Bakerwals and Dalits who were granted reservation by the BJP dispensation.
