Rahul's 'divisive and disgraceful' politics unravelling faster than he would like: BJP
— Statement made in a Congress meeting.
This is what happens when the son of a Catholic mother and a Parsi father goes around asking everyone else's caste!
The irony is rich and the hypocrisy, even richer.

Slum demolitions in Delhi: Cong. MP raises issue in Lok Sabha
Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Wednesday criticised the Delhi government, raising concern over the slum demolitions in the Capital during the Zero Hour of the Lok Sabha. This comes days after the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, visited areas where demolitions had taken place. Alleging that thousands of families were rendered homeless by the demolition of slums, he said it was being done in violation of existing policies of rehabilitation. 'Before elections, the ruling party [BJP] spent nights in the same slums, and they made assurances 'jahan jhuggi, wahan makaan (A home where the slum stands), but now after the elections, it has become 'jahan jhuggi, wahan bulldozer (A bulldozer where the slum stands)'. This is not governance, it is abandonment. It is time for this House to take notice, because how we treat the poorest amongst us is not a side issue, but it is the very soul of our Constitution,' Mr. Tagore said. Meanwhile, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav on Wednesday said that after Mr. Gandhi visited the demolished slum areas of the Capital, the Congress moved two adjournment motions in Parliament. 'Although BJP allowed the adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha today, nobody from the government gave a reply on the JJ Cluster demolition issue raised by LoP Rahul Gandhi, which raises the question of why BJP allowed the said adjournment motion when it did not want to answer the issues raised by Mr. Gandhi,' he said. Mr. Yadav said that all seven BJP Lok Sabha MPs from the Capital seemed to be unconcerned about the plight of the slum dwellers, or else, they would have spoken in favour of the slum dwellers in the House. 'The BJP government has destroyed more than 3000 slum clusters in its five months in power by breaking the promise of providing 3.5 lakh in-situ flats with all the basic civic services and ownership rights to the poor,' Mr. Yadav said. He added that the Delhi Congress will launch a campaign to get justice for the slum dwellers in every respect, including alternate accommodation for the displaced, who have played a major role in the development of Delhi. On Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured that her government will ensure proper rehabilitation of 'eligible' slum dwellers displaced due to development projects.

Remove Ads Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday, speaking on the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Rajya Sabha, said that terrorism will never be able to break the spirit of India. Shah reiterated in the upper house that the current government is committed to end terrorism and it is on decline in Shah started speaking, the opposition walked out demanding a reply from the took on the opposition including Congress and said that they didn't act against terrorism during their tenure."I know why these people (opposition) are running away, they are running away because for so many years, in the pursuit of their vote bank, they did nothing to stop terrorism... That's why these people cannot even listen to this debate," Shah Tuesday, Congress leader Chidambaram in his speech had said that Operation Sindoor was not a decisive one."Were the 1965 and 1971 wars decisive? If yes, then why did terrorism continue to spread? Until the enemy is either afraid or reformed, there won't be a decisive end. For all these years, no action was taken to intimidate them, so why would they be afraid?" Shah raised questions on Chidambaram's own tenure as home minister."During Chidambaram ji's tenure, Afzal Guru was not hanged until he was no longer the Home Minister. After the Mumbai attack, Digvijaya Singh said that this attack was carried out by the RSS... By saying this, who are these people trying to protect? I proudly say today in front of the world, in front of the people of the country, that a Hindu can never be a terrorist," Shah briefed the upper house about Operation Mahadev in which the armed forces successfully killed three terrorists who were responsible for Pahalgam terror said that the Modi government inherited terrorism, left wing extremism and insurgency in the North East.

Fortunately, we now have leadership that responds with decisive actions, deploying a BrahMos missile, rather than relying on mere dossiers," he the leader of the Rajya Sabha JP Nadda in his speech highlighted the government's unwavering commitment to eliminate terrorism from the country."A surgical strike within three days of the 2016 Uri attack, an airstrike in Balakot just 11 days after the 2019 Pulwama attack, and Operation Sindoor within 13 days in 2025- this is the new normal of new India," Nadda said.

PM Modi didn't say Trump was lying: Rahul Gandhi over India-Pak mediation claims
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads After Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's challenge by stating in Parliament on Tuesday that no world leader asked India to stop Operation Sindoor, Gandhi on Wednesday said that the prime minister didn't say President Trump was to media queries about Modi's statement in Parliament, Gandhi said: "It is obvious, the prime minister has not said that Trump is lying. Everyone knows that he is not able to speak. That is the reality. If PM Modi speaks, then he (Donald Trump) will say things openly and reveal the entire truth, that is why he is not able to speak".The Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor on Tuesday witnessed exchanges between the prime minister and the leader of the Opposition on the operation and the subsequent politics flared up soon after President Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian exports plus penalty for buying energy and arms from Russia. The opposition Congress taunted Prime Minister Modi by saying his "silence" on "insults", including Trump's repeated claims about forcing India-Pakistan ceasefire didn't help him get a special treatment on the tariff front and it said Modi should now stand up to spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said: "President Trump has slapped a tariff of 25% plus penalty on imports from India. All that 'taarif' (praise) between him and Howdy Modi has meant little. Mr Modi thought that if he kept quiet on the insults that the US President has hurled on India -- the 30 claims of stopping Op Sindoor, the lunch for the Pakistan Army Chief, and the US support for financial packages to Pakistan -- then, India would get special treatment at the hands of Trump. Clearly, that has not happened."
