EPS a coward, says minister Nehru
AIADMK
general secretary
Edappadi K Palaniswami
a coward. In a statement, Nehru said, "(Union home minister)
Amit Shah
is repeatedly saying there will be power sharing in Tamil Nadu.
Palaniswami, a coward, who could not respond to Amit Shah, has no right to criticise the DMK alliance."
Recalling the comments of Palaniswami about meeting Amit Shah in Delhi, Nehru said, "Palaniswami is shamelessly saying he knocked on the doors of Amit Shah's house for the welfare of Tamils. If he wanted to visit Amit Shah's house, he could have said it directly. What is the need for him to shift cars to speak about issues faced by the people? Why should he lie saying he went to Delhi to inspect the AIADMK party office?"
Flaying Palaniswami for his remarks in Coimbatore and Chidambaram, Nehru said, "Palaniswami said in Coimbatore that the communists have faded away, but in Chidambaram, he invited them for his alliance with a red carpet. Both the communists and the VCK rejected the offer, saying it was not a red carpet but a bloodied carpet. Voters are confused about whether it is the same Palaniswami who has spoken two different things about political parties in two different places.

Cong's can't trust own EAM, it trusts some other country: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah while making his intervention in the Lok Sabha on Monday slammed the Congress for not trusting the statement of external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Operation Sindoor and instead believing the US President Donald Trump , and said that is why it is sitting in the opposition and will remain there for 20 more years. Shah intervened when the Opposition members were interrupting Jaishankar. "They (opposition) do not have faith in the minister of external affairs who has taken oath as a member of the Indian govt. They trust some other country. I know the importance of foreign (opinion) in their party, but it does not mean that they should impose this view on Parliament," said Shah.

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi seeks answers on Pahalgam intel lapse, abrupt end to operations
New Delhi: Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Monday launched a sharp attack on the government in Lok Sabha over the Pahalgam terror strike, questioning how the terrorists reached Baisaran valley on April 22 and why they remained at large even 100 days later. Opening the Opposition's debate on Operation Sindoor, Gogoi demanded answers on several issues - including US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering an India-Pakistan ceasefire, and Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan's admission that India suffered air losses. He also criticised the government's decision to halt the operation after Pakistan's climbdown, asking why India didn't reclaim territory under Pakistani occupation. "The entire country, including the Opposition, stood behind PM Modi. Then suddenly, on May 10, there was a ceasefire. Why? If Pakistan was ready to surrender, why did we stop? Who did we surrender to? Donald Trump has said 26 times that he forced both countries to announce a ceasefire," Gogoi slammed the government's failure to track down the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack. "It's been 100 days, but the five terrorists are still free. You have drones, Pegasus, satellites, CRPF, BSF, CISF, and even the Defence Minister visited - but you still couldn't catch them. It took an hour for an ambulance to reach Baisaran. The Army came on foot." Gogoi said. Holding Union home minister Amit Shah accountable, Gogoi said the Centre could not hide behind Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. "Who takes responsibility? The LG? No - it's the Union Home Minister who must be accountable. And the government blaming tour operators for taking people to Baisaran is cowardly," he said. Gogoi also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting the site after returning from Saudi Arabia. "Instead of going to Pahalgam, the PM went to Bihar and delivered an election speech. It was Rahul Gandhi who visited the victims," he added.

DMK has failed in its duty and surrendered to the BJP: Vijay
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay on Monday said if the ruling DMK had ensured appropriate honour for the Chola kings, the BJP-led Central government, which was acting against the interest of Tamils, would not have taken it up now. In a statement, he said the Centre had sidelined Tamil Nadu, but now Prime Minister Narendra Modi was announcing statues for Chola kings and 'taking lessons' from the Chola dynasty. The DMK has failed in its duty and surrendered to the BJP and has pledged the pride of Tamils to the national party, he added. Mr. Vijay alleged that the BJP-led Centre, which was trying to bury history by hiding the Keeladi findings, was now talking about the Cholas, which is a mere act and the DMK had fallen for it. According to him, the DMK and the BJP are on the same team behind closed doors, and they should be labelled as 'deceivers'. He added that the people would not fall prey to what he called 'a drama for political mileage'.
