New Delhi: In yet another heated yet humorous exchange in the Rajya Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah took a direct jab at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, leaving the entire house in splits. His remarks, laced with sarcasm and political wit, came as he criticized Gandhi’s recent statements on terrorism and Kashmir.
Shah, never one to mince words, referenced Gandhi’s visit to Kashmir, stating, “One leader went to Kashmir and enjoyed there. He played Holi with snow. But then he said he saw terrorists from afar. Now, those who have terrorists in their eyes will only see terrorists everywhere.”
The comment sent waves of laughter through the chamber, with even some opposition members unable to hide their amusement. But beyond the humor, Shah made his stance on terrorism crystal clear. He declared, “I will not let terrorism supported by political ideology flourish in the country,” reinforcing the government’s zero-tolerance policy toward extremist activities.
This fiery exchange comes amid an ongoing war of words between the ruling BJP and the Congress, with both parties trying to control the political narrative ahead of crucial elections. While Gandhi has often raised concerns about national security, his recent remarks on Kashmir appear to have given the ruling party fresh ammunition.
With the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on the horizon, the political drama is only heating up. And if today’s session was any indication, neither Amit Shah nor Rahul Gandhi are backing down anytime soon.
