NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi ensured safety of borders through surgical strike and gave befitting reply to Pakistan with Operation Sindoor.Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the Jaish-e-Muhammed commander’s confession video and lauded the military for the success of Operation Sindoor which “brought Pakistan to its knees within the blink of an eye.” In the video, a top JeM commander admitted that the terror organisation supremo Maulana Masood Azhar’s family was ripped apart during the May 7 military operation.Addressing a gathering at Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar on his 75th birthday, PM Modi said: “Abhi kal hi desh aur duniya ne dekha hai fir ek Pakistani aatanki ne ro ro kar apna haal bataya hai. Ye naya Bharat hai. Ye kisi ki parmanu dhamki se darta nahi hai… Ghar mein ghus ke maarta hai. (Just yesterday, the nation and the world saw yet another Pakistani terrorist crying and revealing his condition. This is the new India — one that does not fear anyone’s nuclear threats).”Shah also criticised the Congress party for holding Voter Adhikar Yatra, which he called “save infiltrator rally”. Declaring BJP’s support to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR), Amit Shah said the exercise will “help to cleanse electoral rolls”. The Union home minister was speaking at Delhi’s Thayagraj Stadium.”Rahul Baba has just started his ‘Ghuspatiya Bachao Yatra’… Today, I have come to this platform to tell the people of the country to recognise these people. They want infiltrators to remain on our voter lists because they do not trust the people of India and want to win elections on the basis of infiltrators. The BJP supports the SIR and the campaign to clear the voter lists,” Amit Shah was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.The SIR has been a burning issue in the politics, with the opposition raising suspicion over the timing of the exercise in the poll-bound Bihar.Last week, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reiterated to present “dynamic and explosive proof” of vote theft, claiming the ruling NDA government has been formed by “stealing votes”.The Congress leader guaranteed to provide the proof of what he called “vote chori”.”We gave black and white evidence linked to Bengaluru Central, and down the line, we’ll give dynamic and explosive proof. The slogan ‘vote chor gaddi chor’ is resonating all across the nation and spreading like a fire because it’s the truth,” the Congress leader said.Rahul Gandhi said that it’s the truth that governments are being formed by stealing votes.”BJP leaders should stop being agitated because the ‘hydrogen bomb’ will make everything clear,” he added.Last month, during his Vote Adhikar Yatra at Muzaffarpur in poll-bound Bihar, the Congress scion had said he would prove “beyond doubt in six months” that the ruling BJP is “stealing” the elections.The Lok Sabha leader of opposition alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and the Election Commission of India (ECI) are “stealing” the votes.Rahul Gandhi claimed that the entire model (of “stealing votes”) is named the Gujarat model, adding that Bihar will put an “end to the vote theft”.
