Congress slams Amit Shah on Nehru remarks, says, ‘Home Minister learns his history from a middleman-turned-politician'

Mint6 days ago
Reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during the second debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Congress leader Pawan Khera took a sharp dig, saying Shah 'learns his history from a middleman turned politician.'
In a post on X, Khera said, "Home Minister learns his history from a middleman turned politician. Here is the truth of Nehru ji and the so called US offer to India of UNSC membership. In September 1955, Nehru stated categorically in the Lok Sabha: 'There has been no offer, formal or informal, of this kind… The composition of the Security Council is prescribed by the UN Charter, according to which certain specified nations have permanent seats. No change or addition can be made to this without an amendment of the Charter.'
Earlier in the day, Shah said, 'Today, China is in the UN Security Council, and India is not. Modi ji is trying his best to get India to become a part of the UN Security Council.'
He further noted, '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 criticised the Congress party, stating, 'Yesterday, they were questioning why there was no war... Today, PoK exists only because of Jawaharlal Nehru.'
'In 1960, they gave 80% of the Indus waters to Pakistan....In 1971, during the Simla Agreement, they (Congress) forgot about PoK. If they had taken PoK then, we would not have to carry out attacks on camps there now,' the BJP leader added.
Shah informed that those who killed our citizens in the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack have been killed.
"In a joint Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF, and J&K Police have neutralised three terrorists who were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack," Shah said while addressing the lower house of Parliament.
"Innocent civilians were killed in front of their families by asking their religion. I condemn this barbaric act. I express my sympathies to the families who lost their loved ones," he said.
On Monday, the three terrorists were killed in Operation Mahadev in an intense firefight with security forces in the Harwan area near Dachigam National Park of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir.

Oppn corners govt over patta promise to tribals; Let's sit & sort it out, says CM

Bhopal: Participating in the debate over a call attention motion moved by Leader of Opposition in the state assembly Umang Singhar seeking to draw attention of the state govt towards large-scale rejection of applications for patta for land under Tribal Rights Act, 2006, by tribals, CM Mohan Yadav said that he was prepared to sit with the Opposition MLAs to sort out the issue. Raising the issue, Singhar said that more than 2.3 lakh applications from tribals for patta on the land of their habitation has been rejected in MP and the state stands second in the entire country in rejecting the application for patta by the tribals. He cited the example of Nepanagar where application for patta from more than 3,000 tribals has been rejected and the forest staff was stopping them from farming on the land they have been in possession for years. Minister of state for forest, Dileep Ahirwal in his written reply to the call attention motion, said that under the Act, 2.3 lakh tribals, who were in possession of forest land before 2005, have been given ownership right over 3.7 lakh hectare forest land and it was not true that the forest department was indiscriminately rejecting the claim of tribals over land of their habitation. CM Yadav said that the state government proposes to make the data of tribals in possession of forest land before 2005 available online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Senior Congress MLA Ajay Singh said that the state govt should carry out a survey again to verify claims of 68,000 claims, which have been rejected.

CM Yogi accuses Cong, SP of undermining Sanatan

Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticised the Congress and the Samajwadi Party for "patronising terrorists and attempting to undermine Sanatan Dharma". Referring to the controversy over the Malegaon blast case and the demolition of Ram Setu, he alleged that past govts tarnished reputation of Hindu leaders and India's culture and heritage. Inaugurating 15 development projects worth Rs 381 crore in Saharanpur on Monday, he announced that his govt was committed to rapid growth, conservation of heritage, empowerment of youth and promotion of Swadeshi. Describing the pace of development under BJP, he said that the double engine govt was "not a buffalo cart, but a bullet train". Invoking Saharanpur's spiritual roots, identifying it as the sacred land of Maa Shakumbhari and Mata Tripuri Bala Sundari, the CM announced that the construction of Maa Shakumbhari University was completed and its official inauguration would take place soon. He also elaborated on the future plans for the development of the Maa Shakumbhari Corridor and an elevated road to improve all-weather access to the pilgrimage site. He also spoke about plans to beautify the ashram of Jahar Veer Goga, a warrior saint who resisted foreign invaders 900 years ago and attained samadhi after meeting Baba Gorakhnath. He also inaugurated a renovated Amrit Sarovar at Baba Jaharveer Goga Mhadi temple and also planted a sapling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Emphasising his govt's commitment to ensuring balance between development and cultural heritage, the CM accused past govts of indulging in caste-based politics and appeasement, dividing society along caste lines while limiting the benefits of govt schemes to their own families. "The actions of one family often brought disrepute to the entire community. The current administration has reconnected Saharanpur with its historical identity and restored a sense of pride among people," he said. Talking about urban development, the CM announced that under the Smart City Mission, all municipal bodies at district headquarters will be developed as smart cities. He spoke about the under-construction sports college in Saharanpur and an under-construction sports university in Meerut to assert that only when the youth played sports would it get the opportunity to blossom. He said sports colleges will be set up in every division. "The travel time between Saharanpur and Delhi has reduced to just three hours. Earlier, people went to Lucknow to seek development, the BJP govt brought development to Saharanpur." He praised wood carving and furniture industry of Saharanpur, saying had earlier govts given it support, it could have achieved a global reputation surpassing Italian furniture. He urged citizens to adopt Swadeshi products as it would empower local artisans and strengthen the economy.

He urged citizens to maintain cleanliness during the festive period and called upon the public to organise Tiranga Yatras and collectively sing the National Anthem on Aug 15 to mark Independence Day. "Under the current govt, India is achieving new heights of development. One District One Product (ODOP) initiative and Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana have provided a fresh identity and recognition to local artisans. Saharanpur's sculptures and handicrafts are playing a vital role in boosting local economy and promoting craftsmanship," he said.

Among the proposals that were discussed were connectivity projects to link block headquarters, interlinking roads, access to religious sites, bypasses, ROBs, underpasses, flyovers, bridges, road safety and irrigation infrastructure.
