‘Congress Focuses On Vote Bank, Not National Security’  News24 –


Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday attacked Congress, saying that the grand old party’s priority is not national security, but its vote bank and appeasement politics. 

While speaking in Rajya Sabha over Operation Sindoor Debate, Amit Shah said, “Yesterday, you (Congress) were asking why they(Pahalgam terrorists) were killed on this day? Why should they not have been killed yesterday? Because Rahul Gandhi was supposed to deliver his speech? It doesn’t work like this. The entire country is seeing that Congress’ priority is not national security and ending terrorism but it is politics, their vote bank and appeasement politics.”

The home minister said, “Today, standing in this House, I promise that Jammu & Kashmir will be free from terrorism. This is the resolve of the Narendra Modi government.”

He said, “We attacked their (Pakistan) terror camps, terror launching pads and terror training camps, but they (Pakistan) considered it as an attack on their country. As a response, on 8th May, Pakistan attacked residential areas in India and defence installations. On 9th May, India attacked and destroyed Pakistan’s 11 defence installations and airbases…After this, Pakistan was not in a position to fight back.”
