Amid Oppn walkout, Shah hails PM for giving Pak ‘befitting reply’
Hindustan Times Pune
|July 31, 2025
Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday attacked the Congress for “giving away” parts of Kashmir to Pakistan when it was in power and said that the Union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was committed to ending terrorism and ensuring the return of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Shah was speaking in the Rajya Sabha even as the Opposition walked out in protest over the PM's absence from the Upper House during a special discussion on Operation Sindoor. “I want to tell the Congress that PoK was given by you, and only the BJP government will bring it back,” he said.
“Look at the coincidence that they died of bullet wounds in their heads. After the Pahalgam attacks I was requested by the family members of the killed to shoot the culprits in their heads, and coincidentally their demands have been fulfilled,” Shah said on the killing of the three terrorists.
He also accused the Congress of creating the bogey of Hindu terror in response to the 26/I1 Mumbai attack. “I proudly declare to the world... Hindus can never be terrorists” Shah said.
