"Jawaharlal Nehru's stand is responsible for this... When our jawans were facing Chinese soldiers in Doklam, Rahul Gandhi was holding a meeting with the Chinese ambassador... This love for China has passed down three generations from Jawaharlal Nehru, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi..." Shah alleged.
'PM Narendra Modi is trying his best to get India to become a part of the UN Security Council,' he added.
He said that during the 1962 war with China, 'then PM Nehru bid goodbye to Assam in a speech on Akashvani (state radio)'.
'Back in 1948 too,' Shah claimed, 'Indian armed forces were in a decisive position to take back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, but then PM Nehru declared unilateral ceasefire.'.

From the Opposition's side, DMK MP Kanimozhi later referred to the mention of Nehru.
'It seems you people in the BJP remember Nehru much more than even his party Congress does. You say he is responsible for all the mistakes,' the Tamil Nadu MP said, adding that the government must 'strive to unite the country, and not see us as enemies'.
Earlier, Shah announced in the House that three Pakistani terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), who were involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, were killed on Monday near Srinagar in Operation Mahadev on Monday.

Sanatana Dharma ruined India, not a religion: Sharad Pawar's NCP leader
NCP-SCP MLA Jitendra Awhad made strong statements against Sanatan Dharma while speaking to the media on Saturday. 'Sanatan Dharma has ruined India. There was never a religion called Sanatan Dharma. We are followers of Hindu Dharma,' Awhad four-time MLA added that Sanatan Dharma was responsible for denying Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj his coronation and for defaming Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. He also alleged that its followers tried to assassinate social reformer Jyotirao threw cow dung and filth at Savitribai Phule. This Sanatan Dharma conspired to kill Shahu Maharaj. It did not allow Dr B.R. Ambedkar to drink water or attend school. Ambedkar opposed Sanatan Dharma, burned the Manusmriti and rejected its traditions,' he added. Jitendra Awhad said that people should not hesitate to call Sanatan Dharma and its ideology began his political career in the 1980s as a student activist during anti-fee hike protests. He later rose through the ranks of the Congress's student wing, NSUI and served as a Member of the Legislative Council from 2002 to was elected to the Assembly in 2009 and has retained his seat since then. Awhad has served as a minister in both the Congress-NCP and the Maha Vikas Aghadi governments. He held portfolios such as Housing, Medical Education, Minority Development, and holds a PhD in socio-religious movements and belongs to the OBC Vanjari community. In 2018, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad claimed that there was a plot by extremists to target him. Awhad has used this claim in his political a separate development, the Supreme Court earlier this year refused to entertain three writ petitions seeking criminal action against Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin over his 2023 remarks on 'Sanatana Dharma'.The petitions, filed by B Jagannath, Vineet Jindal, and Sanatan Suraksha Parishad, alleged that Stalin's speech amounted to hate speech and hurt religious sentiments.A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Prasanna B Varale questioned the maintainability of the petitions under Article 32. Following this, the petitioners withdrew the pleas with the liberty to seek other legal remedies.- EndsMust Watch

'Arrest Mohan Bhagwat': Ex-ATS Officer Drops Bombshell On Fake Saffron Terror Plot | Malegaon Blast In a staggering twist, a retired ATS officer has shaken the political landscape by claiming he was instructed to arrest RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat during the 2008 Malegaon blast probe. Speaking after the acquittal of all accused, including BJP MP Pragya Thakur, ex-Inspector Mehiboob Mujawar alleged that the saffron terror narrative was a fabrication, driven by political pressure. He described the directives as "horrific" and claims he refused to follow them, leading to his career's destruction via a false case. His allegations bring the focus sharply back to the credibility of terror investigations under UPA, and raise serious questions about the weaponisation of law enforcement. Opposition parties are now demanding answers, warning that faith in national security agencies is at risk. With claims of planted evidence, suppressed truths, and institutional vendetta, this case has reignited the saffron vs secular firestorm in Indian politics, and it's far from over.#malegaonblastcase, #mohanbhagwat, #mehiboobmujawar, #rsschiefcontroversy, #saffronterordebate, #pragyasinghthakur, #ltcolpurohit, #niacourtverdict, #faketerrorcharges, #atsinvestigation, #maharashtraats, #politicalvendetta, #antirssnarrative, #bjpvscongress, #indianjudiciary, #falseterrorcases, #nationalinvestigationagency, #indianpolitics, #judicialacquittal, #malegaoncaseacquittal, #hindutvanarrative, #2008malegaonblast #breakingnews #trending #bharat #toi #toibharat #indianews 2.8K views | 1 day ago
