Kozhikode: In a clear message to Kashmiri separatists, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Sunday said the central government will not hold talks with those who do not believe in the Indian Constitution. He said the next one year will be observed as garib kalyan year. Touching upon the Kashmir unrest and the Uri terror attack, Shah said, “Kashmir is an unbreakable part of India and no force in the world can separate it from us.”The BJP-led government “is willing to discuss all paths to peace but the talks will be held with those who consider themselves Indians… No talks will be held with anybody who does not believe in the constitution,” he said. This is a clear message to separatists who are insisting that talks cannot be held within the Indian Constitution. Referring to the Uri attack, Shah said BJP will not tolerate terrorism and the party and its government stand for “zero tolerance” to it.
