'We Served Them Biryani': Nadda's Swipe At Congress Over UPA 'Inaction' Against Terror
Last Updated: Union Minister JP Nadda said the previous Congress-led regime had failed to tackle repeated terror strikes on a war footing Union Minister JP Nadda on Wednesday gave a strong response to the opposition's remarks on 'lack of political will" from the day before during the 'Operation Sindoor' debate in Parliament. Nadda's blistering attack was focused on the alleged inaction against terror of previous UPA governments. He said the Congress-led regime had failed to tackle repeated terror strikes on a war footing. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the ongoing monsoon session, he accused the Congress of continuing with confidence-building measures even when these attacks came from Pakistan. 'While they kept firing bullets at us, we went ahead to offer them biryani," Nadda said, referring to how the government allegedly fed biryani to 26/11 perpetrator Ajmal Kasab in jail. '…we need to understand the limits of their (then Congress govt) appeasement that after 2008 Jaipur bomb blasts by Indian Mujahideen, India and Pakistan agreed on a specific confidence-building measures…they gave permission for a triple-entry permit to cross LoC (Line of Control)…" Nadda further alleged that the UPA did not take strong steps after major attacks like the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2006 Varanasi and Mumbai train bombings. He said despite these incidents, trade and tourism with Pakistan continued. '…The then government took no action in 2005 Delhi Serial bomb blasts, 2006 Varanasi terror attack, 2006 Mumbai local trains bomb blasts…the point is – terror and trade and tourism continued between India and Pakistan then," he said. 'HAD SAME POLICE & ARMY BUT NO POLITICAL WILL' Nadda took a page out of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's book and blamed the UPA regime for 'lacking political will". Albeit, in a different context. During an intense discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday (July 30), Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi severely criticised the central government for 'lacking political will" in its actions against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. The BJP president, meanwhile, pointed out that at the 2009 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, there was no mention of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and blamed a lack of political will at the time. " …we had the same police, army, but there was no political will…at the 2009 SCO Summit, there was no mention of such a big terror attack in 2008," he said. The BJP president said before 2014, India lacked the political will to strengthen border security and fight terrorism. He referred to past statements by former defence and home ministers, claiming one of them said 'undeveloped borders are safer" while another admitted being afraid to visit Kashmir. He said from 2014 to 2025, terror attacks in India had stopped, except in Jammu and Kashmir. '..A former defence minister had said, 'India has a policy that the best defence is to not develop the borders. Undeveloped border is safer than developed border'…a former home minister had said, 'Mujhe Kashmir jaane mein darr lagta hai'…we had lived in darkness in this country. From 2014-2025, terror attacks stopped in the country except in Jammu and Kashmir," he added. Nadda also spoke about the surgical strikes after the 2016 Uri attack as a shining example of strong political will of the BJP-led NDA government. He said it was the first time since 1947 that a Prime Minister publicly declared that those behind a terror attack will not be spared. '…Talking about Uri surgical was the first time after 1947 that the Indian PM came on record and said that the perpetrators of the (Uri) attack will not be spared…And within 3 days, surgical strikes were conducted and terror launching pads were destroyed…This is the changing India…See the political will in comparison to those who said that we will see what to do," he added.
