Home Minister Amit Shah, during a Lok Sabha debate on the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, criticized India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, attributing the “sufferings in Kashmir” to Nehru's "two major blunders."

Shah blamed Nehru for declaring a ceasefire without securing the entire region and for involving the United Nations in the issue. The bills, focusing on Jammu and Kashmir's representation, were passed in the Lok Sabha.
