New Delhi: With the National Conference returning to power after the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister Giriraj Singh has ruled out the possibility of restoring Article 370 in the Constitution. Article 370 was repealed by Parliament on August 5, 2019. Giriraj Singh is known for his strict Hindutva stance. He said in Rajat Sharma's show 'Aap Ki Adalat' aired on India TV that 'even if Rahul Gandhi and Farooq Abdullah shout loudly and recite Bhore Namaz, 370 is not going to come back.'

Giriraj Singh:  'Modi ji left no stone unturned for the development of Kashmir, but why did the Muslims of the valley not vote for BJP?'

Rajat Sharma: Because you have to win her heart?

Giriraj Singh: 'Tell me how to win hearts. Should I tear my heart and act like Hanuman ji? I have not even abused anyone in my constituency, still they don't vote for me, then I will say... we even perform their (Muslim voters') aarti, but still they don't vote for me.'

The Union Minister said, 'The situation in Kashmir was dominated by stone-pelters and terrorists. People were afraid to go to Kashmir. After Modiji removed Article 370, today people go to Lal Chowk openly. They are going there only because of Modiji. Modiji's policies brought peace and development in Kashmir. Today many hotels opened. Many MOUs were signed. Villages developed. We were hopeful that (we will get votes). Congress, Farooq Abdullah Mufti's people were encouraging stone-pelters, Modiji ended that. I was hoping that the people of the valley, Muslims will also vote. Now they have to think.'

99 percent of arrested terrorists are Muslims

The Union Minister said, 'I am not saying that all Muslims are terrorists, but why 99% of those caught in terrorism are Muslims, this also raises the question.' When Rajat Sharma said that terrorists do not have any religion, Giriraj Singh replied: 'This is just a saying. Religion is coming in the way these days. What other reason is there in the country for terrorism? Now it is Narendra Modi's rule, where there are no bomb blasts. But 10 years ago, in all the bomb blasts that happened, in all the modules that were caught, why were 99% of them Muslims? This is the question that arises.'

Rajat Sharma: But you should say it a little more loudly that not all Muslims are terrorists, there are some among them.

Giriraj Singh: 'I am saying the same thing that not all Muslims are terrorists. But 90 percent of those who are caught are terrorists. So why not say this.

Rajat Sharma: But give some praise to those who do good work.

Giriraj Singh: I praise him. He is a good man, I salute him too.

The Union Minister alleged that madrasas and mosques are being used to promote terrorism. He said, 'In 1947, there were hardly two-three thousand mosques in India. Today, there are more than three lakhs. They have illegally occupied the Bangladesh border and Nepal border. Yogiji recently inspected the madrasas and found more than 500 illegal. Madrasas and mosques are the home of terrorism. Instead of making human beings, they teach them to take them on the wrong path.

Rajat Sharma: You once said that Deoband (Darul ul Uloom) is the Gangotri of terrorism?

Giriraj Singh: Where is Pakistan's Masood Azhar a product of? He is a product of Deoband. You tell me, if I don't call him a terrorist, then what should I say, that he is a religious man? Dozens of terrorists came out of Deoband, some have gone to heaven, some are alive.

Partition was on religious grounds, India belongs to Hindus

The Union Minister clearly said that India belongs to Hindus. He said, 'I say it here with confidence. In 1947, the partition happened on the basis of religion. You say, yes or no. When the partition happened on the basis of religion, if Pandit Nehru had sent all the Muslims (to Pakistan), then today neither the Waqf Board would have been born, nor Owaisi would have been born, nor Burhan Wani would have been born. Nasrullah (Hezbollah Chief) dies in Lebanon, brothers in Delhi, Mumbai have stomach pain. If you connect yourself with Nasrullah, then we will have trouble. People eat here, sing songs of another place. This will not work, will not work.'

Rajat Sharma: In response to your comments, people like Maulana Arshad Madani say that look, there are 20 crore Muslims, nobody can bring them back home, if someone says such a thing then he is an ignorant person.

Giriraj Singh: 'If any Muslim in the country tells me that from 1947 till now, in any village of the country, a Hindu has thrown a stone on their Tazia. We did not throw it. When their population is 5 percent, then Kaka or Chacha says, when it is 10 percent, they raise their arms, when it is 15 percent, they do love jihad, if they do not let our Ramnavami, Hanuman Jayanti Yatra, Kanwar Yatra pass through the streets, then I will definitely feel sad that they should have gone in 1947 itself. At least this street would not have created a gap between any Hindu and Muslim. Look what is happening in Kerala today. Love jihad is going on in the whole country as a part of a plan for Ghazwa-e-Hind, then why will we not say that if all the people had been sent to Pakistan in 1947, then these things would not have happened in our country today.'

Congress cheated the voters in Lok Sabha elections

On the question of how BJP achieved an astonishing hat-trick victory in Haryana, Giriraj Singh replied: 'A wooden pot does not boil again and again. In the parliamentary elections, this tukde-tukde gang played a wooden pot, showed the constitution and said that the constitution is in danger, spread confusion about reservation, the people (of Haryana) said that now you will have to be punished. The people punished you. Sometimes the one who spreads confusion becomes successful. The work that Narendra Modi did in favor of reservation, perhaps no other Prime Minister would have done it. Whether it is SC, ST reservation, or giving constitutional status to the backward commission or giving 10 percent reservation to the economically backward in the general category. This is Narendra Modi's dedication towards the constitution. But these days he (Rahul) shouts, caste, caste. Now on the platform of Miss World, he asks whether anyone is backward or tribal. He asks everyone's caste, but does not tell his caste. I am asking with a challenge...Rahul ji, please tell me what is your caste, your father's caste, your grandfather's caste?

Giriraj Singh said, 'In Bihar, this is called Thethralogy, which means Thether... I ask, you got stuck at 99 in the third attempt, now you are creating an atmosphere in the country that you have defeated Modi. Hey fool, you could not get 100 in three attempts and are celebrating, and are telling everyone that Modiji has bowed down. The sandpiper bird sleeps with its legs raised thinking that it has stopped the sky. There cannot be a more foolish leader than him.'

Rajat Sharma: Kharge ji has said that I will not die until I remove Modi ji from power.

Giriraj Singh: I wish him a long life. Modi will live for 100 years. You don't worry. You will lie down like Bhishma Pitamah.
