Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments in the Rajya Sabha related to B R Ambedkar.

Amit Shah: Congress Twisted My Statement on Ambedkar

Shah alleged that the Congress in the past has also misrepresented his and even PM Narendra Modi's comments to spread confusion and mislead people.

Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments in the Rajya Sabha related to B R Ambedkar after BJP leaders "exposed" the opposition party's repeated "insults" to the architect of the Constitution.
Addressing a press conference here, Shah alleged that the Congress in the past has also misrepresented his and even PM Narendra Modi's comments to spread confusion and mislead people.
"I condemn the Congress for twisting facts. Why did it happen? It happened because BJP leaders spoke on how the NDA governments upheld the Constitution and established with facts that the Congress is anti-Ambedkar, anti-Constitution and anti-reservation," Shah told reporters here.
The senior BJP leader said the Congress also insulted V D Savarkar and blew to smithereens the values enshrined in the Constitution by imposing Emergency.
"When all these facts came out, the Congress used its old tricks and made an effort to mislead the society by presenting twisted facts," Shah said.
Shah said he comes from a party that can never insult Ambedkar.
Asked about Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's demand for his resignation, the home minister said in a lighter vein that he can quit if this will make the Congress president happy but it will never solve his problems. He has to remain in his chair, a reference to his party being in the opposition, for 15 more years, Shah said.
Kharge, he added, has acted under Rahul Gandhi's pressure to be part of this "malicious" campaign against him by distorting his views on Ambedkar.

Rajya Sabha was on Wednesday rocked by protests from Opposition members who demanded an apology from Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming his remarks in the House a day earlier were an "insult" to the architect of India's Constitution B R Ambedkar.

Rajya Sabha Uproar: Amit Shah vs Congress

Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress of misleading the country by using only a part of Shah's remarks made in the Rajya Sabha.

The Rajya Sabha was on Wednesday rocked by protests from Opposition members who demanded an apology from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming his remarks in the House a day earlier were an "insult" to the architect of India's Constitution B R Ambedkar.
Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress of misleading the country by using only a part of Shah's remarks made in the Rajya Sabha and asserted that the Home Minister had in very clear words mentioned how the Congress party had insulted Ambedkar.
"You (Congress) cannot use an 11-12 second clip out of Shah's entire speech and mislead the nation," Rijiju said and asserted that for the BJP, Ambedkar is equivalent to God.
However, the opposition was unrelenting. Amid sloganeering, the House was adjourned for the day soon after it met post-lunch.
In the morning, after the listed papers and reports were tabled and the House went ahead with the scheduled Zero Hour, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh rose and alleged that Shah insulted Ambedkar with his remarks during the debate on the Constitution.
Several other Congress members were on their feet and started raising slogans like "'Ambedkar ka apamaan nai sahega Hindustan' (India will not tolerate Ambedkar's insult)".
Countering them, Rijiju said it was the Congress that insulted Ambedkar and did not honour him with a Bharat Ratna.
Congress President and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge raised a poster of Ambedkar. Amid an uproar, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar adjourned the proceedings within a few minutes till 2 pm.
When the Upper House re-assembled post lunch at 2 pm, Rijiju said two Bills were listed for the day -- the Appropriation Bill and the Banking Regulation Bill. He requested the Opposition parties to allow the House to function and start the discussion on the Banking Regulation Bill.
However, as sloganeering by members of the opposition parties continued, Chairman Dhankhar said Babasaheb Ambedkar is a father figure for all, being the architect of the Indian Constitution.
Congress leader Pramod Tiwari sought to raise a point of order, claiming that Shah "insulted" Ambedkar a day earlier.
Rejecting Tiwari's claim, Rijiju accused the Congress of misleading the country by using only a part of Shah's remarks made in the Rajya Sabha.
He said the Home Minister in his speech had in very clear words mentioned how the Congress party had insulted Ambedkar.
The Parliamentary Affairs minister said the Opposition was trying to mislead the nation by using only an "11-12 second" clip from Shah's entire speech.
Rijiju explained that the Home Minister had on Tuesday said that the Congress hatched a conspiracy to defeat Ambedkar when he contested for polls from Mumbai and later from Vidarbha.
The minister demanded that the Congress must apologise to the nation, alleging that Ambedkar wanted to get re-elected to the Lok Sabha but was not allowed to do so by the Congress, which forced him to leave electoral politics.
Rijiju also said that until 1990, the Congress-led government refused to give a Bharat Ratna to Ambedkar.
He accused the Congress of attempting to malign and remove Ambedkar's name from India's history while trying to garner votes by using his name.
"You (Congress) cannot use an 11-12 second clip out of Shah's entire speech and mislead the nation. It is not correct", he said, adding for the BJP, Ambedkar is equivalent to God.
At this, Kharge repeated Shah's remark and said it only showed the minister's disrespect towards the architect of the Constitution.
Kharge claimed that Shah had "made fun of" Ambedkar by saying that "if they (Congress) had taken God's name as many times, it would have attained a place in heaven in all of its seven births".
The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha argued that this was an insult to Ambedkar, to which Rijiju said that he was again trying to mislead the House.
Leader of the House J P Nadda stood up in Shah's defence, saying that Kharge was trying to "mislead" the nation through Parliament and accused the Congress of treating Ambedkar with disdain and disrespect.
Nadda rejected Kharge's claim and alleged that it was the Congress that had disrespected Ambedkar during his lifetime due to which he had resigned from the Union Cabinet.
Members of both treasury benches and the opposition raised slogans against each other and TMC MPs walked out in protest.Amid the uproar, Chairman Dhankhar adjourned the House for the day.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed protests from the Congress and some other opposition parties over Shah's alleged insult of Ambedkar, resulting in both the Houses being adjourned.

Derek O'Brien files privilege notice against Home Minister Amit Shah over Ambedkar remarks

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed protests from the Congress and some other opposition parties over Shah's alleged insult of Ambedkar, resulting in both the Houses being adjourned.

Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien on Wednesday submitted a privilege notice against Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on B R Ambedkar, a source said.
According to the source, the notice has been filed under Rule 187 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of the Rajya Sabha.
The notice also quoted the statement the home minister made in the Upper House on Tuesday during his reply to a debate on the 75 years of the Constitution.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed protests from the Congress and some other opposition parties over Shah's alleged insult of Ambedkar, resulting in both the Houses being adjourned.
Criticising the Congress for repeatedly taking the name of B R Ambedkar, Shah had said in his remarks that if they had taken God's name so many times they could have earned a place in heaven.
"Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar'. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven)," Shah had said.
Shah also said the BJP is happy that the Congress is taking Ambedkar's name but the party should also speak about its real sentiments towards him.
Shah pointed out how Ambedkar had to resign from the first Cabinet citing his disagreement with the then Congress-led government's policies including Article 370.
The home minister also said most of the memorials of Ambedkar were built when the BJP came to power.
"How appropriate is it for you to use the name of a person for vote bank politics whom you used to oppose?" Shah asked Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Editorji News Desk and is published from a syndicated feed.)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday stoutly defended Amit Shah from the Congress' charge that he insulted B R Ambedkar in his speech in the Rajya Sabha.

PM Modi defends Amit Shah from Congress' attack

In a searing attack on the Congress, Modi said if the party and its "rotten ecosystem" think their "malicious lies" can hide their misdeeds of several years, especially their insults towards Ambedkar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday stoutly defended Amit Shah from the Congress' charge that he insulted B R Ambedkar in his speech in the Rajya Sabha, asserting that the Home Minister in fact exposed the party's "dark history of insulting" the architect of the Constitution, leaving the main opposition "stung and stunned".
"They are clearly stung and stunned by the facts he presented, which is why they are now indulging in theatrics. Sadly, for them, people know the truth," Modi said in a series of posts on X.
When it comes to Ambedkar, his government's respect and reverence are absolute, the prime minister asserted.
In a searing attack on the Congress, Modi said if the party and its "rotten ecosystem" think their "malicious lies" can hide their misdeeds of several years, especially their insults towards Ambedkar, they are gravely mistaken.
He said people of India have seen time and again how one party, led by one dynasty, a reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family, has indulged in every possible dirty trick to obliterate Ambedkar's legacy and humiliate the SC/ST communities.
The list of the Congress' sins towards Ambedkar includes getting him defeated in elections not once but twice, first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru campaigning against him and making his loss a prestige issue, denying him a Bharat Ratna, and not allowing his portrait a place of pride in Parliament's Central Hall, the prime minister said.
He said, "The Congress can try as they want but they can't deny that the worst massacres against SC/ST Communities have happened under their regimes. For years, they sat in power but did nothing substantive to empower the SC and ST communities."
Modi said it is due to Ambedkar that "we are what we are", as he listed a series of measures taken by his government to implement his vision and accord respect to the iconic personality.
He said his government has worked tirelessly to fulfil Ambedkar's vision over the last decade.
"Take any sector - be it removing 25 crore people from poverty, strengthening the SC/ST Act, our Government&rsquo;s flagship programmes like Swachh Bharat, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ujjwala Yojana and more, each of them has touched the lives of the poor and marginalised. Our Government has worked to develop Panchteerth, the five iconic places associated with Dr. Ambedkar," he added.
For decades, Modi said, there was a pending issue involving land for "Chaitya Bhoomi", where Ambedkar was cremated. "Not only did our Government resolve the issue, I have gone to pray there as well," he added.
"We have also developed 26, Alipur Road in Delhi, where Dr. Ambedkar spent his last years. The house where he lived in London has also been acquired by the Government. When it comes to Dr. Ambedkar, our respect and reverence is absolute," he said.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed protests from the Congress and some other opposition parties over Shah's alleged insult of Ambedkar, resulting in both the Houses being adjourned.

The Congress on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks in the Rajya Sabha which it claimed were an insult to B R Ambedkar.

Congress demands resignation of Amit Shah over Ambedkar remarks

The Congress on Tuesday alleged that Shah's remarks in the Rajya Sabha during a debate on the Constitution show that the BJP and the RSS leaders have a "lot of hatred" for Ambedkar and demanded an apology from him.

The Congress on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks in the Rajya Sabha which it claimed were an insult to B R Ambedkar.
The opposition party also demanded that Shah should apologise publicly and in Parliament for the remarks.
Referring to Shah's speech in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the Home Minister accused us of speaking about Ambedkar 100 times and "told us that had we remembered God so many times we could have achieved heaven seven times".
"The 'insult' caused to Babasaheb Ambedkar by Amit Shah is wrong. I demand his resignation," he told reporters in Parliament premises.
"Shah has insulted Babasaheb and the Constitution written by him," Kharge, who was flanked by other opposition leaders, charged.
"The ideology of Manusmriti and RSS shows that they do not want to give respect to Babasaheb Ambedkar and the Constitution. That is why we, all parties, demand his resignation and he should apologise to the country," the Congress chief said.
"If he continues to talk like this, there will be fire across the country if anyone insults Babasaheb Ambedkar like this. We parties would not accept such an insult of Babasaheb Ambedkar," he said.
Congress general secretary K C Venugopal said all Pradesh Congress Committees will be holding marches at all Raj Bhavans across the country on Wednesday over the Ambedkar remarks issue and also the Adani row.

Earlier addresesing a press conference, Congress MP Neeraj Dangi said his party demands Shah's apology for the remarks.
"In Rajya Sabha, Amit Shah Ji said that taking the name of Babasaheb Ambedkar Ji has become a fashion. This is a direct insult to the Dalits of the country and Babasaheb," he said.
Shah has shown the whole country what kind of thinking BJP leaders have, he said.
"The deprived and exploited class, which they have insulted, this is the same class which will reduce them from 240 to 40," Dangi said.
"On behalf of the Congress party, I demand that Amit Shah ji should apologise publicly and in the House. Considering what he has said about Babasaheb Ambedkar, he has lost the right to hold a constitutional post," Dangi said.
He should resign from the post of Home Minister, he said.
The Congress on Tuesday alleged that Shah's remarks in the Rajya Sabha during a debate on the Constitution show that the BJP and the RSS leaders have a "lot of hatred" for Ambedkar and demanded an apology from him.
Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had said those who believe in Manusmriti will definitely be at odds with Ambedkar. Congress general secretary-in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh had shared a video snippet on X from Shah's speech in the upper house.
"Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar'. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven)," Shah had said, taking a swipe at the opposition.
The home minister attacked the Congress in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, saying the party treated the Constitution as the "private fiefdom" of one family and "played fraud" with Parliament.
Concluding a two-day debate on the "Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India", Shah ripped into the Congress for its appeasement politics and claimed that the party wanted to breach the 50 per cent quota limit to provide reservation to Muslims.
He also asked the Congress if it supported the Muslim personal law and alleged that the party never worked for the welfare of the backward classes. Shah asserted that the BJP has already brought in a common civil code (Uniform Civil Code) in Uttarakhand and will implement it in all states.

Accusing the Congress of being “anti-reservation”, Shah said that in 1955, the Kaka Kalelkar Commission was formed to provide reservations to OBCs but the report was “nowhere to be found”.

Congress considered Constitution ‘private fiefdom’ of one family, amended it to stay in power: Amit Shah

Accusing the Congress of being &ldquo;anti-reservation&rdquo;, Shah said that in 1955, the Kaka Kalelkar Commission was formed to provide reservations to OBCs but the report was &ldquo;nowhere to be found&rdquo;.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked Congress on Tuesday in the Rajya Sabha, saying the party treated the Constitution as the &ldquo;private fiefdom&rdquo; of one family and &ldquo;played fraud&rdquo; with Parliament.
Concluding a two-day debate on the &ldquo;Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India&rdquo;, Shah ripped into the Congress for its &ldquo;appeasement politics&rdquo; and claimed that the opposition party wanted to breach the 50 per cent quota limit to provide reservation to Muslims, which the BJP will never allow.
He also asked Congress if it supported the Muslim personal law and alleged that the party never worked for the welfare of the backward classes.
Shah asserted that the BJP has already brought in a common civil code (Uniform Civil Code) in Uttarakhand and will implement it in all states.
Seeking to draw a distinction between the amendments to the Constitution brought by the BJP and the Congress, Shah claimed that the opposition party, when it was in power, sought to curtail rights, including the freedom of expression, and serve its interests and that of the &ldquo;family&rdquo;, while the BJP acted keeping in mind public welfare and national interest.
He cited the introduction of GST, granting of statutory status to the OBC Commission and bringing women&rsquo;s reservation as examples.
Shah accused the Congress of being a &ldquo;sore loser&rdquo; for blaming EVMs for its defeat in the assembly polls in Maharashtra and Haryana. He advised the opposition party to give up its canard against EVMs and shed its appeasement policy, dynastic politics and corruption if it wanted to return to power.
&ldquo;In the last 75 years, the Congress played fraud in the name of the Constitution&hellip; They (Nehru-Gandhi family) considered not just the party as their personal property, but also treated the Constitution as their &lsquo;private fiefdom&rsquo;,&rdquo; the minister alleged, referring to the insertion of Article 35A without parliamentary assent.
Criticising the Congress for bringing in reservation on the basis of religion in two states ruled by it, Shah termed it &ldquo;unconstitutional&rdquo;.
&ldquo;It is clearly stated in the Constitution that no reservation will be based on religion&hellip; They (Congress) do not want any welfare of OBCs, they want to give reservations to Muslims by increasing the limit of 50 per cent.
&ldquo;But today, once again I say with responsibility in this House that as long as the BJP has even one MP, we will not allow reservation on the basis of religion,&rdquo; the home minister asserted.
He also accused the Congress of depriving Muslim women of justice and referred to the Shah Bano case and the &lsquo;triple talaq&rsquo; issue.
Shah claimed that the Congress could not bring a uniform civil code as it could not rise above appeasement politics.
He also noted that one needs an iron will to abrogate Article 370 which Prime Minister Narendra Modi did in his second term.
&ldquo;Forget bloodshed, no one has the courage to pelt even a single stone,&rdquo; Shah said, claiming that Jammu and Kashmir has attracted investments to the tune of Rs 1.19 lakh crore in the last five years.
He also accused the Congress of nurturing Article 370 of the Constitution for 70 years in its lap like &ldquo;an illegitimate child&rdquo;.
Accusing the Congress of being &ldquo;anti-reservation&rdquo;, Shah said that in 1955, the Kaka Kalelkar Commission was formed to provide reservations to OBCs but the report was &ldquo;nowhere to be found&rdquo;.
&ldquo;Had the recommendations of the Kaka Kalelkar Commission been accepted, the Mandal Commission would not have been formed. In 1980, the recommendations of the Mandal Commission came out, but it was not implemented. It was implemented when the Congress was voted out in 1990,&rdquo; he said.
Shah also alleged that the Congress amended the Constitution to remain in power.
He said the BJP governed for 16 years and made 22 amendments to the Constitution. In contrast, the Congress party ruled for 55 years and made 77 amendments, Shah noted.
He said that even before the first elections in the country, Jawaharlal Nehru effected the first Constitutional amendment to &ldquo;curtail&rdquo; the freedom of expression.
Shah said that for 75 years, the Congress gave the slogan of &lsquo;gareebi hatao&rsquo; but kept the people of the country poor.
&ldquo;Your shop of appeasement has shut down now,&rdquo; he added.
Shah also claimed that Nehru opposed the name &lsquo;Bharat&rsquo; for the country.
He also took a dig at the Congress for repeatedly taking the name of BR Ambedkar, saying had they taken God&rsquo;s name so many times they could have earned a place in heaven.
Shah said the BJP is happy that the Congress is taking Ambedkar&rsquo;s name but the party should also speak about its real sentiments towards him.
Shah pointed out how Ambedkar had to resign from the first Cabinet citing his disagreement with the then Congress-led government&rsquo;s policies including Article 370.
The home minister also said most of the memorials of Ambedkar were built when the BJP came to power.
&ldquo;How appropriate is it for you to use the name of a person for vote bank politics whom you used to oppose?&rdquo; Shah asked Kharge.
Referring to the Emergency, Shah said, &ldquo;Every child should be told about Emergency so that no one dares to bring it again.&rdquo; &ldquo;They (Cong) did nothing except eulogising one family,&rdquo; he said.
Shah said one has to shed appeasement, dynastic politics and corruption to respect the Constitution.
Attacking Rahul Gandhi, he said Congress leaders made a despicable attempt to &ldquo;tell lies&rdquo; to people about the Constitution.
The Constitution is not meant to be &ldquo;waved in the air&rdquo;, &ldquo;The Constitution is faith, the Constitution is devotion&rdquo;, he said.
In a swipe at the Congress leader, the home minister said that he had heard some talk of opening &lsquo;Mohabbat ki dukaan&rsquo; but love is not something to be sold in a shop or advertised.

Amit Shah's Vision to End Extremism by 2026

Amit Shah calls for coordinated efforts from security forces to eliminate Left Wing Extremism (LWE) by March 2026, with NIA playing a key role. He commended Chhattisgarh's success in the fight against Naxalism in the past year.

Shah further stressed that while progress has been made, more work remains to completely eliminate Naxalism by the 2026 deadline. He expressed confidence that the combined efforts of agencies such as CRPF, ITBP, BSF, Chhattisgarh police, and the District Reserve Guard (DRG) would lead to the achievement of this goal.
Earlier, Shah visited the Gundam forward operating base in Bijapur district to assess the operational readiness of security forces.

Taking to social media X, Shah said that the government would commemorate the massive contributions of all those who endured the inhuman pains of the 1975 Emergency.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the 12th of July announced that the Narendra Modi-led government would every year observe June 25, the day the Emergency was declared in 1975, as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas'.
Taking to social media X, Shah said that the government would commemorate the massive contributions of all those who endured the inhuman pains of the 1975 Emergency.
"On June 25, 1975, the then PM Indira Gandhi, in a brazen display of a dictatorial mindset, strangled the soul of our democracy by imposing the Emergency on the nation. Lakhs of people were thrown behind bars for no fault of their own, and the voice of the media was silenced."
"The Government of India has decided to observe the 25th of June every year as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas.' This day will commemorate the massive contributions of all those who endured the inhuman pains of the 1975 Emergency."
The government has been stepping up its attack against the Congress by repeatedly raking up the Emergency imposed by former prime minister Indira Gandhi, in response to the Opposition using the Constitution to target the Modi-led government.&nbsp;

 MHA to talk to Meiteis, Kukis in Manipur to bridge ethnic divide: Amit Shah

Shah said that the MHA will talk to Meiteis and Kukis to bridge the ethnic divide at the earliest.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will talk to both Meitei and Kuki communities at the earliest so as to bridge the ethnic divide in Manipur.
Reviewing the security situation in Manipur here, Shah directed that strict action must be taken as per law against the perpetrators of violence in the northeastern state.
The home minister said the central forces deployment will be increased, if required, and that they should be deployed strategically to restore peace and tranquillity in the state, according to an official statement.
Shah also directed to ensure that no further incident of violence take place in the state which has been witnessing ethnic violence for over a year.
The MHA will talk to both the groups, Meiteis and Kukis, so as to bridge the ethnic divide at the earliest, Shah was quoted as saying in the statement.
He also instructed the chief secretary of Manipur to ensure proper health and education facilities for the displaced people and their rehabilitation.
The home minister said that the Centre, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is fully committed to ensure safety and security of all citizens of the northeastern state.
Shah also reviewed the situation in relief camps, especially in respect of proper availability of food, water, medicines and other basic amenities.

Amit Shah said that the Congress leaders have sensed defeat, and hence were unable to face the media.

BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah took potshots at the Congress party after it decided not to participate in debates related to Lok Sabha elections exit polls.
Talking to ANI news agency, Shah said that the Congress leaders have sensed defeat, and hence were unable to face the media.
"For some time, Congress has been in denial mode. In this election, they campaigned that they are forming the majority. It seems they have realised that the exit poll will show their massive defeat, and are avoiding the media. Hence, they are boycotting the entire exit poll exercise," he said.
"Exit polls have been happening for a long time. They used to take part. But this time, they are sensing defeat and are unable to explain, and that's why they are boycotting. And since Rahul Gandhi has taken charge of Congress, they have been in denial mode," he added.

Agniveer scheme: Amit Shah slams Rahul Gandhi for 'spreading lies'

The leader had further claimed that the Agniveer military recruitment scheme would be scrapped and thrown in the dustbin if the INDIA bloc came to power.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over an alleged row on the Government's Agniveer Scheme. This comes after days ago Rahul Gandhi had slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "turning India's jawan into labourers".
Gandhi, speaking at an election rally in Haryana on May 22 said, "This is Modi's scheme, not the Army's scheme. The Army does not want it. This scheme has been framed by the PMO (Prime Minister's Office)." "When the INDIA bloc forms the government, we will chuck the Agniveer scheme in the dustbin, we will tear it up," he added.
The leader had further claimed that the Agniveer military recruitment scheme would be scrapped and thrown in the dustbin if the INDIA bloc came to power.
Responding to Gandhi's allegations on the Agniveer Scheme, Home Minister Amit Shah on May 25 said, "Rahul Gandhi has started a new tradition of making lies a topic of discussion. The biggest example of this is the Agniveer scheme. Rumours are spreading in the country that 75 per cent of Agniveers will not have a future after four years and their life will be wasted. BJP-ruled states have made provisions for 10 to 20 per cent reservation in their police forces for them and the central government&rsquo;s paramilitary forces have given them 10 per cent reservation.&rdquo;

 ‘No Govt holiday for Durga Puja in Bengal’ asserted by Shah is untrue

The West Bengal govt grants holidays for many religious occasions including Durga Pooja, Eid and Christmas, BOOM said after verifying details from state govt's official website.

A claim made by Union Minister Amit Shah at an election rally in West Bengal's Serampore, on May 15 is misleading and false.
Shah said 'Mamata Banerjee opposes the Ram Mandir. She does not give permission for Durga Visarjan but gives holidays for Muslim workers on Ramzan. We do not have a problem with that, give holidays if you wish. But we want an answer as to why you don&rsquo;t grant holidays for our Durga Puja as well? Why this discrimination?'

Union Home Minister Amit Shah exuded confidence that the BJP will come back to power in the 2024 general and will win 400 seats.
In an interview with ANI news agency, Shah, when asked what will be the BJP's plan B if it doesn't cross the 272 majority mark, Shah said, "I don't see any such possibilities. An army of 60 crore-strong beneficiaries are standing with PM Modi, they have no caste or age group...Those who have received all these benefits know Narendra Modi kya hain aur kyun 400 dena chahiye".
When asked about BJP's Plan B in case it doesn't reach the majority mark, Amit Shah said the party's Plan A will succeed.
"Plan B needs to be made only when there is less than a 60% chance for Plan A (to succeed). I am certain that PM Modi will come to power with a thumping majority," he added.

Amit Shah said Kejriwal's statements, after he got out on interim bail, were liable for contempt of court.

'Isn't Kejriwal's won't go to jail remark contempt of court?' Amit Shah asks 

Amit Shah said Kejriwal's statements, after he got out on interim bail, were liable for contempt of court.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah raised concerns on how the Supreme Court did not find Arvind Kejriwal's remark contemptuous when he, after getting out on interim bail said, "If you vote for me I will not have to go to jail".&nbsp;
Speaking to ANI, Shah on Friday said that &nbsp;Kejriwal's statements, after he got out on interim bail, were liable for contempt of court.
"There can be no bigger contempt of the Supreme Court than this. Will Supreme Court make decisions on (electoral) victory and loss?" Shah said.
The home minister also said that the bail order of Kejriwal doesn't amount to him being acquitted in the case.
"I don't want to comment on the Supreme Court's decision. But the manner in which AAP, a few media groups and most journalists are considering this the victory of Kejriwal - I would like to clarify it a little...This is not clean chit. The chargesheet is still before the Supreme Court. If he was so confident, he should have prayed for quashing before the Sessions Court," Shah said.
Shah's statement came a day after the apex court clarified that it made no exemption while granting interim bail to the AAP supremo, and said that "critical analysis of the judgment is welcome".
"We have not made any exception for anybody. We said in our order what we felt was justified," the bench said.
Appearing for the ED, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta objected to Kejriwal's speeches in poll rallies that if people voted for AAP, he would not have to go back to prison on June 2. "It is his assumption, we cannot say anything," the bench told Mehta.
It added, "Our order is very clear about when he has to surrender. It is the order of the Supreme Court. The rule of law shall be governed by this order." Mehta alleged that Kejriwal had violated the bail condition by his assertion.
"What is he trying to imply? It is like a slap on the institution," the Solicitor General said.
Justice Khanna said the court's order is clear that he has to surrender on June 2.&nbsp;

During the conversation, Shah took a dig at AAP chief and said right now he is busy with another issue, referring to Swati Maliwal's alleged assault case.

In a conversation with news agency ANI, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Supreme Court's judgement on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's bail plea is not routine.&nbsp;
Shah said that many people feel the Supreme Court's decision granting interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case is akin to him getting special treatment.
"Supreme Court has the right to interpret the law, I believe this is not a routine judgement. A lot of people in this country believe that special treatment has been given," Shah told ANI.
Responding to a query about Kejriwal campaigning for the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the Home Minister took a dig at the Delhi Chief Minister.
"Right now he (Arvind Kejriwal) is stuck in another issue (alleged assault on Swati Maliwal by CM's aide), let him get free from that then let's see what happens," Shah said.
Dismissing Arvind Kejriwal's claims that the central government installed cameras in Tihar jail to keep a watch on him, the Union Home Minister said that the Tihar jail administration is with the Delhi government.
