Amit Shah Critiques Rahul Gandhi Over Alleged Pakistan Slogans at Congress Events
Amit Shah claimed that “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans are being raised at Congress events in Haryana and challenged Rahul Gandhi’s silence on the matter. He further criticized the Congress’s pledge to restore Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Shah assured voters of the BJP’s commitment to agricultural procurement and promised to address the Waqf Board law in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament as Haryana gears up for elections.
Amit Shah, the prominent BJP leader, raised concerns about the alleged chanting of “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans at Congress events in poll-bound Haryana, during a rally held in Badshahpur. He criticized Congress, asserting that their strategies were dictated by appeasement politics and posed questions to Rahul Gandhi regarding his silence on this alarming trend. Shah remarked, “I am seeing a new trend in Haryana. From Hathin to Thanesar and from Thansesar to Palwal, slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ are being raised on Congress stages. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi that when the leaders and workers of your party are raising the slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’, why are you quiet? The Congress is blinded by appeasement…”. Furthermore, Shah derided the Congress’s pledge to reinstate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, questioning the feasibility of such a promise. He stated, “Is Kashmir ours or not? Should Article 370 have been removed or not? Congress and Rahul Baba say that they will bring Article 370 back. Even the three generations of Rahul Gandhi cannot bring Article 370 back… The youth of Haryana have made a lot of sacrifices to protect Kashmir and we will not let that go in vain”. In addition to these comments, Shah assured the audience that the BJP government would advance the Waqf amendment bill during the forthcoming Winter Session of Parliament, stating, “The Waqf Board law is causing a lot of problems, isn’t it? We will improve and make it straight in this winter session.” As the Haryana elections approach, scheduled for October 5 with results on October 8, Shah continued to target Rahul Gandhi’s knowledge regarding agricultural policies, specifically emphasizing the BJP’s procurement of 24 crops at minimum support prices (MSP). He posed an inquiry to Gandhi about his understanding of MSP and criticized Congress-ruled states for their procurement efforts compared to those by the BJP government in Haryana.
The political landscape in Haryana is currently heating up as the state prepares for elections. Amit Shah, a key member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is actively pursuing a campaign strategy that emphasizes perceived failings of the opposition, particularly the Congress party and its leadership. As the BJP seeks to solidify its position in Haryana, Shah’s rhetoric highlights issues such as national allegiance and agricultural policies, directly challenging Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader. This context of electoral competition serves to amplify tensions between the parties involved.
In conclusion, Amit Shah’s recent allegations against the Congress party regarding the chanting of “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans highlight the BJP’s narrative of national allegiance and security as critical election themes. His criticism of the Congress’s proposal to restore Article 370 underscores a broader discourse on the region of Jammu and Kashmir. Furthermore, Shah’s focus on agricultural practices and procurement strategies aims to position the BJP favorably among Haryana’s farmers. As the electoral battle unfolds, these issues are likely to resonate deeply with the electorate.
