‘Even Congress don't remember…,' DMK MP Kanimozhi's quirky take on BJP MPs' Nehru bashing
Amid all the Nehru bashing by the Centre at the Lok Sabha, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi slammed Amit Shah at the Lok Sabha saying, "I don't think even the Congress remember Nehru as you do" Later, Kanimozhi also criticised Amit Shah accusing him of shifting the blame on somebody else and trying to talk about what happened many years ago. Speaking to ANI, Kanimozhi alleged that there was no constructive discussion about their replies in the Lok Sabha, which was the most important aspect, in which the government has completely failed. "He was only trying to shift the blame on somebody else and trying to talk about history and what happened many years ago. There was no constructive discussion or replies on what needs to be done and who will take responsibility for what happened," Kanimozhi said. During his Operation Sindoor address on Tuesday, Shah said a blunder by the Congress led to the creation of Pakistan and claimed that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was the legacy of first prime minister Nehru. "In 1948, our armed forces were at a decisive stage in Kashmir. Sardar Patel kept saying no, but (Jawaharlal) Nehru announced a unilateral ceasefire. If Pak-occupied Kashmir exists today, it is due to this unilateral ceasefire announced by Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru is responsible for this," the home minister had said. The next day, PM Modi also pointed the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru lost over 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin. He slammed the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first prime minister signed with Pakistan as a "big blunder". "Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond -- who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru," Modi had said. (With inputs from agencies)

BJP will bring back PoK, Congress gave it away; terrorism in Kashmir near extinction: Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha
The Home Minister also attacked the Congress for questioning his government on foreign policy related to China, saying the opposition party's love for China had continued for generations since 1960s. "The priority of Congress is not the country's security. Their objective is only vote bank and appeasement politics... Terrorism took roots, spread, and grew in India... the sole reason for this has been the Congress' politics of appeasement and weak policies," Shah said. On the Opposition parties' demand that the government should clarify on the role of US President Donald Trump in ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Home Minister reiterated that the 'Operation Sindoor' was not stopped at anyone's request. "Pakistan was brought to its knees, their DGMO called and said enough is enough, please stop it now," he said. Shah also emphasised that the Congress has no right to ask about PoK. "I want to tell the Congress that POK was given by you, and only the BJP government will bring it back," he said. In his more than an hour-long speech, the Home Minister gave a detailed account of Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev, which involved the killing of three terrorists responsible for carrying out the barbaric attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Shah asserted that terrorism will end in Jammu and Kashmir, and listed out measures taken by the government for all-round development of the Union Territories. "I want to say to the terrorists through this House... do as much as you want... Jammu and Kashmir will be free from terrorism. This is the resolve of Modi ji," Shah said. He said it happened for the first time that people were killed in the name of religion, and it is extremely painful. The terrorists killed tourists to send a message that they would not let Kashmir be free from terrorism.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Congress slams PM Modi, HM Shah for Nehru criticism
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their "present-day failures" and they choose to "divert, distract, distort, and defame". Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today." "They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions," he said. Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame, he said. "The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India's second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science," Ramesh said. Speaking during the discussion in Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Modi said the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru lost over 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin. He slammed the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first prime minister signed with Pakistan as a "big blunder". "Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond -- who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru," Modi had said.
