Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress during the ongoing debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor, stating that "there would be no Pakistan today" if they had not accepted partition, reported news agency ANI.
"Pakistan is Congress' mistake. If they had not accepted partition, there would have been no Pakistan today," Shah said whilst addressing the Lok Sabha.
Furthermore, the Union Home Minister held former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru responsible for India’s failure to secure permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). He additionally alleged that the Gandhi family’s "love for China" has been passed down through three generations, ANI reported.
"Today, China is in the UN Security Council, and India is not. Modi is trying his best to get India to become a part of the UN Security Council. Jawaharlal Nehru's stand is responsible for this. When our jawans were facing Chinese soldiers in Doklam, Rahul Gandhi was holding a meeting with the Chinese ambassador. This love for China has passed down three generations from Jawaharlal Nehru, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi," Shah asserted.
He further attacked the opposition, who had questioned the whereabouts of the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam terror attack, claiming that "security forces have killed at least 100 people."
"Those who were hiding during your tenure are being searched and killed today," Shah said, adding, "They (opposition) were asking yesterday where the perpetrators of Pahalgam went... At least 100 people have been killed by our forces... On 7 May, our job was completed at 1:26 AM. This is not Manmohan Singh’s government; we will not sit quietly and send dossiers... On 9 May, 11 of Pakistan's air bases were destroyed... The attack on eight of the air bases was so precise that it shook Pakistan's air defence system."
Moreover, responding to the opposition's "why there was no war" charge, the Union Home Minister stated that Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) exists solely due to Jawaharlal Nehru. He claimed that the Nehru government ceded 80 per cent of Indus waters to Pakistan and neglected to reclaim PoK in 1971 during Indira Gandhi's tenure as Prime Minister, ANI reported.
"Yesterday, they (Congress) were raising questions about why there was no war... Today, PoK exists only because of Jawaharlal Nehru... In 1960, they gave 80 per cent of the Indus waters to Pakistan... In 1971, during the Simla Agreement, they (Congress) forgot about PoK. If they had taken PoK then, we would not have to carry out attacks on camps there now," Shah argued.
Furthermore, Shah went on to mock the opposition after informing the Lok Sabha that three terrorists involved in the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack had been killed. He remarked, "Magar syaahi pad gayi inke chehre pe" (Their faces have been smeared with ink).
"...Operation Sindoor killed those who sent the terrorists, and Operation Mahadev killed those who carried out the attack... I thought that after hearing this news, there would be a wave of happiness in the ruling and the opposition parties, 'Magar syaahi pad gayi inke chehre pe'... What kind of politics is this?" Shah questioned during the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha.
