If they kill one soldier, we will kill 10: Amit Shah

Issuing a strong warning to Pakistan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday warned that anybody attacking India will have to suffer 10 times more casualties.

Addressing whirlwind election rallies in Solapur, Sangli and Osmanabad districts in Maharashtra, Shah said amidst roaring applause: "The whole world has realised it now... If one of our jawans is martyred, 10 of theirs will be killed."

He also pointed out how Pakistan-sponsored terror had killed over 40,000 people in Jammu and Kashmir and said that "it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who ensured that the crown of India was integrated into the national mainstream of the Indian Union."

"Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's dream of an integrated India has been achieved by Prime Minister Modi in his second tenure," Shah said.

He demanded that Rahul Gandhi and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar should "clarify" whether they are for or against the decision to revoke special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
