Patna, April 24: BJP President Amit Shah has once again taken a dig at the Congress party's manifesto which said that it would review the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking at a rally in Bihar's Samastipur, Shah criticised Congress President Rahul Gandhi and said that even if "another Gandhi comes, even he will not be able to repeal it". Some 'Congress Friends' Conspired Against Removal of AFSPA, Says Omar Abdullah.

Shah has persistently been attacking the Congress party over its stand on Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and the grand old party promising to take out the sedition law. Congress Manifesto Promises to Revamp Laws, Plans to Quash Sedition, Amend AFSPA.

"Should AFSPA be repealed? I've come to tell Rahul baba it will not be repealed in your whole life, after you, if another Gandhi comes, even he will not be able to repeal it," said Shah at Wednesday's rally.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi too had accused the Congress of hurting the morale of the armed forces by seeking a review of the AFSPA in Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a rally in Dehradun, Modi termed the Congress' manifesto a "Dhakosla patra" and alleged that the grand old party had plans to trample and suppress the "honest' and "tax-paying" middle classes.

The Congress is committing a "sin" by promising to revoke the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and do away with the sedition law just for votes, PM Modi said .
