New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said in Rajya Sabha that the government will restore Internet connection in Kashmir as soon as the local administration feels it is fit to do so.

Responding to a series of questions on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir during Question Hour, Shah also asserted that not a single person has died in police firing after August 5 when the special status accorded to Jammu and Kashmir was scrapped.

He also said all newspapers and TV channels are functioning in Kashmir and there is no decline in circulation of newspapers.

“The situation there was always normal. There were many notions spread all over the world. There is total normalcy prevailing. After August 5, not a single person has died in police firing although many feared there would be bloodshed and more number of killings,” the Home Minister said.

  1. 1. Encounters/murders of Muslims organised by a Gujarat state minister via instructions to the state police and leaving bodies on the road is normal.
    2. Placing a Minister in the Ahmedabad police control room and directing police not to intervene while 0ver 2000 Muslims are butchered and 70,000 driven from their homes is normal.
    3. Using police resources and directing the police to stalk a women on behalf of your boss is normal.
    These are only a few, I can all out dozens of things you did, which you will consider as normal.
    There are millions of things in India abnormal and obscene which you will consider normal
    Disgusted and vomiting.
    You are creating a hell in India not only for Muslims but everybody in the country
