During his two-day tour to Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah met with representatives of the Gujjar, Bakarwal, Pahadi, and Sikh groups. On Thursday night in Srinagar, Shah had a meeting with the delegates. A representative of the Pahadi community, Mohammad Akbar Khan, told ANI, "They (the BJP) included us in the ST category and did us a favour. And we will also do them a favour in return. Whatever used to come for the Pahadi people, the National Conference and the People`s Democratic Party (PDP) used to eat it. Sikh, Pahadi, Gujjar, and Kashmiri communities have come to meet (Amit Shah)."
"We only came here to thank him (Amit Shah) for including us in the ST category. Gujjar, Sikh, and Pahadi delegations have come to meet him... We met like a family. Whatever the Home Minister or the BJP promises, that gets done 100 per cent. `Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas` actually happens," a representative from one of the communities who met Amit Shah told ANI.
