Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asserted that the concept of “one flag, one head, one Constitution” was not a political slogan and the BJP firmly believes in the principle and finally implemented it with regard to Jammu and Kashmir.

Responding to a remark by Trinamool Congress’ Saugata Roy in the Lok Sabha that “ek nishan, ek pradhan, ek samvidhan (one flag, one head, one constitution)” was a “political slogan”, Shah wondered how a country could have two prime ministers, two constitutions and two flags

While responding to a remark from the opposition benches, Mr Shah said, “Whosoever did it was wrong. Narendra Modi has corrected it. Your approval or disagreement does not matter. The entire country wanted it.” This comment was made in an apparent reference to the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

Mr Shah went on to state that “one symbol, one head, one constitution” was not an election slogan.
