Armed forces tore apart terror networks inside Pakistan: Amit Shah

Patna, Sep 18: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday asserted that India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has dealt a decisive blow to terrorism and its sponsors.
Shah, while addressing a gathering here, said, “Through surgical strikes, air strikes, and Operation Sindoor, the armed forces demolished terrorist networks within their own homes inside Pakistan. It was possible only because of Prime Minister Modi’s strong resolve and political will to teach terrorists a lesson.”
He said, “By removing Article 370, PM Modi permanently united Kashmir with India. The Congress party had spoiled Pakistan’s habits. They would attack every day. PM Modi has worked to secure the country.”
The Union Home Minister said, “PM Modi has made India’s economy the fourth-ranked economy. In 2027, we will become the world’s third-ranked economy.”
In a veiled reference to Rahul Gandhi, Shah contrasted Prime Minister Modi with other leaders: “Our leader is someone who works for the people without ever going on a holiday. In sharp contrast with others who tend to grow restless unless they enjoy a trip abroad every six months. And you know who I am talking about,” he said.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s “Voter Adhikar Yatra”, which concluded last month, Shah said the tour’s aim was to protect infiltrators from Bangladesh. “Should the infiltrators have the right to vote in our country? Should they have access to all the benefits that the citizens enjoy?” he asked
Shah said Rahul Gandhi and his allies wanted the infiltrators, “who are their vote bank”, in his words, to be given jobs meant for our youths, pucca houses and the free medical treatment we provide our citizens with.
He described Gandhi’s allegation of vote theft as a “false narrative”, saying opposition parties had previously used similar tactics by alleging the BJP intended to scrap reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs. “Have the quotas for SCs, STs and OBCs been tinkered with? I can assure you that as long as there is even one BJP member in Parliament, reservations cannot be scrapped,” he said. (KNO)
