Union home minister Amit Shah today said the government has done a lot to end terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and now that the law and order situation is better, assembly elections can be held in the state within the next six months. The promise of elections - a longstanding demand of politicians in the state - came as he tabled a bill in the Lok Sabha for another extension of the President's Rule.
Contending that there is now zero tolerance to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, Amit Shah said, "Over the last one year, this government has done a lot to uproot terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir".
