Union Home Minister Amit Shah said today that Article 370 and Article 35A were the "gateway of terrorism" into Jammu and Kashmir. He went on to say that this "gateway" was closed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi by abrogating them. Mr Shah also said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's unfullfilled dream of fully integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the country was accomplished on August 5 when Article 370 and 35A were repealed. "Article 370 and 35A were the gateway of terrorism in India. Prime Minister Modi has closed this gate by repealing them," he said while flagging off the 'Run for Unity' event to commemorate the 144th birth anniversary of Sardar Patel.
