Shah also said it is impossible to carry out such an attack under the watch of the Narendra Modi-led government.
The Union minister was campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s candidate in Talaja in Bhavnagar district, ahead of the Gujarat elections, when he recalled the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, one of the deadliest terror strikes in India.
"Today is the anniversary of the 26/11 attacks. On this day (in 2008), Pakistani terrorists killed 164 people in Mumbai. I pay my humble tributes to the departed souls," he told the rally.
"Though such attacks were rampant during the Congress rule, it is not possible to carry out a 26/11-type terror attack today because Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister," he added.
Shah on Saturday addressed election rallies and roadshows at Rajula (Amreli), Talaja (Bhavnagar), Mahuva (Bhavnagar), Sayajiganj (Vadodara) and Vejalpur (Ahmedabad)
