Sonipat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday kept up the attack on the Congress, saying it should forget the 'dream' of bringing back Article 370 as it has been buried in the 'kabristan' (graveyard). Addressing a rally at Gohana, his second of the day in Haryana, Modi referred to the Lok Sabha polls as the 'Kurukshetra' (battle) in which there is development on one hand and 'vote jihad' on the other.

"From the brave land of Haryana, I want to tell those associated with the Congress that only tricolour will fly in Kashmir now," he said. "Forget the dream of bringing back 370 in Kashmir. And if you try to do it 'lene k dene pad jayenge' (you will pay very heavy price)." "Dhara 370 ki deewar hamne kabristan me gaad diya hai (We h ...
