Hailing PM Modi and Amit Shah after the government fulfilled one of its promises — abrogation of Article 370 — Rajinikanth termed it as a 'fantastic move' by the Centre.

Congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Centre's move to abrogate Article 370, actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth on Sunday said that they (PM

Modi and Amit Shah) are like Lord Krishna and Arjuna. Hailing PM Modi and Amit Shah after the government fulfilled one of its promises — abrogation of Article 370 — Rajinikanth termed it as

a 'fantastic move' by the Centre. Speaking at a book launch event on the two-year tenure of Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, Rajinikanth, however, said that though he doesn't

know who is Krishna and who is Arjuna, it is only they (PM Modi and Amit Shah) know. "My heartfelt congratulations to Amit Shah for Mission Kashmir. Hats off," Rajinikanth said.

Rajya Sabha chairman Venkaiah Naidu.  Addressing the function, Amit Shah said, "As the Vice-President and Chairman of Rajya Sabha, he was chairing the session of the Upper House when

the law regarding abrogation of Article 370 was introduced. But while piloting the Bill, I had a lot of apprehension as to when I will introduce the bill, how will the house function? We do

not have a full majority in Rajya Sabha, but I decided that still, I will introduce Bill first in Rajya Sabha."  ALSO READ: DID NOT FIRE A SINGLE BULLET: J&K POLICE RUBBISHES REPORT

stood in the Rajya Sabha but it was the meticulous directions of Venkaiah Naidu that from listening to views of the opposition friends to the division of votes, the Bill has to nowhere face

any incident which could make people of India feel that dignity of the Upper house has been lowered." Shah also said that as a legislator, he firmly believed that Article 370 has never

helped the country of Jammu and Kashmir and should have been removed long ago. > #WATCH Amit Shah:As a legislator,I firmly believe Art370 should've > been removed long ago. As a
