He also lauded chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma for forming a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to curb paper leaks in the state.

Referring to Operation Sindoor carried out to destroy terrorist camps in Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Shah said: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done the biggest job of securing the country. A strong message has gone out to the world that no one should mess with India’s citizens and anyone who dares to do so has to face consequences.”

Shah, who is also minister for cooperation, was in Jaipur to attend an event organised on the occasion of International Cooperatives Year-2025.

He said that during Congress rule, the country had to face terrorist attacks quite often. “When Uri attack occurred, Modi took decisive action and a surgical strike was carried out. Following the Pulwama attack, an airstrike was done and when an attack took place in Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor was launched, targeting terrorists within Pakistan and eliminating them,” he said

“Through these, Modi has conveyed a powerful message to the world that India’s citizens, armed forces, and borders should not be messed with. Anyone who dares to do so has to face consequences,” he said.
