Amit Shah On Timing Of Op Mahadev
Someone was asking why these terrorists were killed on the first day of Parliament...I am shocked listening to this...I wanted these terrorists to be killed the very next minute after the Pahalgam terror attack, but it's not easy.
Amit Shah Speaking on Prithviraj Chavan's Remarks On Operation Mahadev
Amit Shah: After the Pahalgam terror attack, I received a lot of calls from the relatives of the terror attack victims and they requested me to kill these terrorists by firing bullet in their heads.
I want to ask Prithviraj Chavan what name he suggests for this operation? Why is the opposition doing politics on this too...Why do they look everything with Hindu-Muslim angle.
Amit Shah: Operation Mahadev was launched on April 22. We detected the location of terrorists on May 22. After a few days, we identified the exact location of these terrorists
After we identified these terrorists, a detailed meeting was held by top security officials, and then the operation was carried out at the pinpoint location
LoP, Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge says," There was a demand from the Opposition that the PM should come to the House and give a reply. If the PM doesn't come to the House despite being present in Parliament premises, then it is an insult to the House."

Truth Will Come Out If PM Modi Calls Trump A Liar: Rahul Gandhi
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not outrightly calling Trump a liar, alleging that if he does so, then the "whole truth" will come out.
Mr Gandhi said that right now, Trump is repeatedly claiming to have brokered a ceasefire deal to put pressure on India amid the ongoing trade deal discussions between India and the US.
"It is obvious that Prime Minister has not said that Trump has not lied. Everyone knows what has happened, they are just not able to say, that is the problem. This is the truth, if the PM says (something), then he (Donald Trump) will say by opening up fully, then the whole truth will come out. That is why it is not being said," the LS LoP told reporters outside Parliament.
