Replying to a short-duration debate in the House, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the central government has taken every possible measure to restore peace and normalcy in the violence-hit state. He emphasized that the decision to invoke Article 356 was made in the best interest of ensuring administrative stability and law and order.
Shah detailed the government’s efforts in managing the crisis, including the deployment of security forces, continuous monitoring by central agencies, and dialogue with various stakeholders.
