Snooping will never happen with Sanchar Saathi app: Scindia in Lok Sabha

Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia assures that the Sanchar Saathi app is secure and cannot snoop, amid concerns over mandatory pre-installation on smartphones.

Amid privacy concerns over the Sanchar Saathi app, Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday asserted that snooping is neither possible nor will it happen with the app.&nbsp;
Depending on the feedback, the ministry is ready to make changes to the order regarding the installation of the app in devices, he told Lok Sabha.&nbsp;

Sanchar Saathi app se "na snooping sambhav hai, no snooping hoga," he said in response to Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda's supplementary question regarding snooping concerns related to the app.&nbsp;
The ministry's order, dated November 28, mandating all mobile phone manufacturers to pre-install Sanchar Saathi app in all handsets to be sold in India as well as in existing devices through software update has triggered a row.&nbsp;
Concerns have been raised about possible snooping and that the app could be used to read messages that users exchange.&nbsp;
Asserting that the app is for the protection of people, he said the government wants to give choices to consumers. If a consumer has not been registered on the app, then the app will not be operational and one can also delete the app, he stated.&nbsp;
There have been around 1.5 crore app downloads. With the portal and the app, 26 lakh stolen handsets have been traced, 7 lakh stolen handsets have been returned to the consumers, 41 lakh mobile connections have been disconnected and 6 lakh frauds have been blocked, the minister said.&nbsp;
The ministry's order also mandates mobile phone companies to ensure that the pre-installed Sanchar Saathi application is readily visible and accessible to the end users at the time of first use or device setup and that its functionalities are not disabled or restricted.&nbsp;

Lok Sabha conducted Question Hour without disruptions for the first time in the ongoing Winter session, with upcoming discussions on 'Vande Mataram' anniversary and election reforms.

Lok Sabha Question Hour Proceeded Smoothly Post SIR Discussion Resolution

Lok Sabha Resumes Smooth Question Hour

Lok Sabha conducted Question Hour without disruptions for the first time in the ongoing Winter session, with upcoming discussions on 'Vande Mataram' anniversary and election reforms.

Lok Sabha on Wednesday took up the Question Hour without disruptions for the first time in the ongoing Winter session, a day after the logjam over the opposition's demand for a discussion on SIR was resolved.&nbsp;
During a meeting chaired by Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday evening, it was decided to hold a discussion in Lok Sabha on the 150th anniversary of national song 'Vande Mataram' on next Monday and on election reforms on next Tuesday.&nbsp;
As soon as the House assembled for the day, obituaries were paid to former members who had passed away recently.&nbsp;
The House then took up the Question Hour.&nbsp;
Since the session began on Monday, proceedings were disrupted by opposition members demanding a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise ongoing in nine states and three Union territories.&nbsp;

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Monsoon Session: 27 Bills Passed Amid Disruptions in Parliament

27 Bills Passed in Chaotic Monsoon Session

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Twelve bills were passed by the Lok Sabha and 15 by the Rajya Sabha during the month-long Monsoon session of Parliament, which witnessed repeated disruptions, adjournments and walkouts.
Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, the session has seen little business ever since it began on July 21 due to repeated disruptions and adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then over demands for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar.
The Monsoon session came to an end on Thursday.
The bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, and The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Other bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
The bills passed or returned by the Rajya Sabha are The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, The Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025 and The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025 Other bills passed by the Rajya Sabha are The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
"This time in Parliament, there was so much ruckus and opposition didn't cooperate. Due to this obstinate behaviour, opposition missed participating in discussions on several important bills which were passed," a government functionary said.
In the Rajya Sabha, except for The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, which was passed without any disruption on the first day of the Monsoon session, the other bills were passed after some discussion amid din or only after the Opposition parties staged a walk out, the functionary said.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla adjourned the Monsoon Session sine die, expressing disappointment over repeated Opposition disruptions that stalled discussions throughout the session.

Lok Sabha Adjourned Sine Die Amidst Disruptions

Lok Sabha Adjourned Amidst Disruptions

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla adjourned the Monsoon Session sine die, expressing disappointment over repeated Opposition disruptions that stalled discussions throughout the session.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die on Thursday, drawing curtains on the month-long Monsoon Session with Speaker Om Birla lamenting "planned disruptions" by the Opposition on a daily basis.
After an earlier adjournment at 11 am, the House met again at 12 noon, in which Birla lamented that in the entire session, efforts were made to disrupt the proceedings repeatedly. He said it was time for introspection for all as not much discussion could take place during the month-long session.
The session commenced on July 21, in which the entire Opposition disrupted proceedings daily, seeking a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Birla noted that in the session, 419 starred questions were included in the agenda, but due to "continuous planned disruptions", only 55 questions could be taken up for oral answer.
"We all had decided at the beginning of the session that we would hold discussions for 120 hours in this session. The Business Advisory Committee also agreed to this. But due to continuous deadlock and planned disruptions, we could barely work for 37 hours in this session," he underlined.
Birla said the entire country watches the conduct and functioning of members of Parliament.
"The public has great expectations from us that we have serious and meaningful discussions on their problems and issues of wider public interest, on important bills, in accordance with the decorum of Parliament," he said.
In this session, 14 government Bills, including the ones for the removal of PM, CMs, ministers arrested on serious charges for 30 days, were introduced and 12 Bills were passed. One of the key Bills passed was to ban online money gaming.
Tempers flared, copies of Bills were torn and flung, and members of the ruling and opposition alliances came face-to-face when Home Minister Amit Shah moved to introduce the Bills on the removal of PM, CMs, ministers arrested on serious charges.
On July 28 and 29, a special discussion was held on Operation Sindoor, which concluded with the reply of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On August 18, a special discussion began on the achievements of India's space programme but it remained inconclusive.
Birla lamented that sloganeering, displaying placards and "planned deadlock" in the Lok Sabha or Parliament premises hurts parliamentary decorum.
"The kind of language and conduct seen in this session is not in accordance with the dignity of Parliament. It is the responsibility of all of us to cooperate in building healthy traditions in the House. In this dignified House, we should avoid sloganeering and disruption and take forward serious and meaningful discussions," he said.
After his valedictory address, Birla adjourned the House sine die (for an indefinite period).

The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2025, seeking to decriminalise minor offences and promote ease of living and business, was introduced in the Lok Sabha and referred to a Select Committee for review.

Lok Sabha Introduces Jan Vishwas Bill 2025 to Ease Business

Jan Vishwas Bill 2025 in Lok Sabha

The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2025, seeking to decriminalise minor offences and promote ease of living and business, was introduced in the Lok Sabha and referred to a Select Committee for review.

The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2025, which seeks to decriminalise certain minor offences to promote ease of living and business, was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday and referred to a Select Committee.
Introducing the bill, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the bill seeks to enhance trust-based governance for ease of doing business.
The Bill was then referred to the Select Committee of the Lok Sabha. The committee has been tasked to submit its report to the House by the first day of the next session of Parliament.
The Bill was introduced amid din as Opposition parties protested, demanding a discussion on the voter rolls revision in Bihar and other issues.
A total of 355 provisions are proposed to be amended through this Bill. It includes 288 provisions decriminalised to foster ease of doing business, and 67 to facilitate ease of living.
It also proposes 67 amendments under the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994 (NDMC Act) and the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
The legislation is part of the government's efforts to enhance the country's business climate.
In 2023, the Jan Vishwas (Amendment to Provisions) Act was enacted, which decriminalised 183 provisions in 42 central Acts, administered by 19 ministries and departments.
The 2025 Bill expands this reform agenda to cover 16 central acts administered by 10 ministries and departments.
Key features of the bill include advisory or warning for 76 offences under 10 acts; imprisonment clauses for minor, technical or procedural defaults replaced with monetary penalties or warnings; penalties made proportionate, with graduated penalties for repeated offences; designated officers empowered to impose penalties through administrative processes, reducing judicial burden; and automatic 10 per cent increase every three years to maintain deterrence without legislative amendments.
Four Acts -- the Tea Act, 1953, Legal Metrology Act, 2009, Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 -- were part of the Jan Vishwas Act, 2023 and are proposed for further decriminalisation under the current Bill.
According to an official, the proposal in this Bill is to remove imprisonment and/or fines.
Imprisonment and fine are proposed to be removed in three provisions; fine removed in 33 provisions; imprisonment removed, fine retained in 14 provisions; imprisonment removed, fine enhanced in 4 provisions; imprisonment reduced, fine enhanced in 2 rules; and imprisonment/fine converted to penalty/notice in a number of norms.
The 2025 bill also proposes 67 amendments under the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994 (NDMC Act) and the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, to facilitate Ease of Living.
In NDMC law, the bill proposes replacing the rateable value method of property tax with the Unit Area Method, introducing a transparent and formula-based system linked to property size, usage and location.
"This will simplify assessment, reduce discretion, and enhance compliance," the official said.
Similarly, in the Motor Vehicles Act, the bill proposed to provide relaxation and clarity in compliance, including state-wide vehicle registration instead of jurisdiction-specific; driving licence renewal effective from the date of renewal if applied after expiry; a grace period of 30 days after licence expiry; and claims tribunals empowered to condone filing delays up to 12 months.&nbsp;

Lok Sabha adjourns till 2 pm amid Opposition protests

Lok Sabha adjourned till 2 pm after Opposition protests disrupted Question Hour over the Bihar electoral roll revision. Speaker Om Birla urged MPs to maintain decorum.

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm on Friday following vociferous protests by Opposition parties over the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.
As soon as the day's proceedings started, Opposition members wanted to raise various issues and some of them also trooped into the Well of the House.
Amid sloganeering and display of placards by the protesting members, Speaker Om Birla said the decorum of the House should be maintained and also urged them to go back to their seats.
Birla repeatedly asserted that the behaviour of the members was not appropriate and also took the name of senior DMK leader T R Baalu, asking whether it is right to protest.
Efforts should be made to strengthen democracy and people have given the opportunity to raise their issues, Birla said as he again urged the protesting members to allow the House to run.
The Question Hour was disrupted due to the protests. With the din continuing, the proceedings were adjourned within three minutes till 2 pm.

Congress accused PM Modi and Amit Shah of deflecting from current failures by repeatedly attacking Nehru in Parliament, calling it a tactic to distract from policy issues.

Congress Attacks Modi, Shah for Nehru Remarks in Lok Sabha

Congress Rebukes Modi, Shah Over Nehru Remarks

Congress accused PM Modi and Amit Shah of deflecting from current failures by repeatedly attacking Nehru in Parliament, calling it a tactic to distract from policy issues.

The Congress on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their "present-day failures" and they choose to "divert, distract, distort, and defame".
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today." "They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions," he said.
Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame, he said.
"The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India's second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science," Ramesh said.
Speaking during the discussion in Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Modi said the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru lost over 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin.
He slammed the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first prime minister signed with Pakistan as a "big blunder".
"Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond -- who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru," Modi had said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Shah also hit out at Nehru when he intervened in the debate.
Shah said a blunder by the main opposition party led to the creation of Pakistan and claimed that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was the legacy of first prime minister Nehru.
"In 1948, our armed forces were at a decisive stage in Kashmir. Sardar Patel kept saying no, but (Jawaharlal) Nehru announced a unilateral ceasefire. If Pak-occupied Kashmir exists today, it is due to this unilateral ceasefire announced by Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru is responsible for this," the home minister had said.
He had also claimed that Nehru ceded the geographical and strategic advantage India enjoyed, and offered 80 per cent of the Indus waters to Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960.&nbsp;

Rahul Gandhi launched a fierce attack on PM Modi, alleging misuse of the armed forces for political image after the Pahalgam attack, and demanded clarity on Trump's ceasefire claims.

Rahul Gandhi Accuses PM Modi of Using Army for Image Management

Rahul Gandhi launched a fierce attack on PM Modi, alleging misuse of the armed forces for political image after the Pahalgam attack, and demanded clarity on Trump's ceasefire claims.

In a no-holds-barred attack, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using the armed forces to protect his image after the Pahalgam attack and dared him to categorically rebut US President Donald Trump's India-Pakistan ceasefire claims.
"If Modi ji has even 50 per cent of the courage that Indira Gandhi had, then clearly he must say in Parliament -- Donald Trump is lying," he said.
Participating in a special discussion in Lok Sabha on "India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam", Gandhi also said that if the government had listened to his statement in Lok Sabha a few months ago on China and Pakistan fusing together, "you would not have lost those five planes" during Operation Sindoor.
Modi, who spoke after Gandhi, affirmed that no leader of any country asked India to stop Operation Sindoor but lamented that while the nation got support from the entire world, the Congress and its allies could not stand behind the valour of the nation's soldiers.
Speaking with reporters after the debate ended, Gandhi said, "Narendra Modi did not clearly say that Trump is lying. Trump has said 29 times that he brought about a ceasefire, but Narendra Modi did not respond to it." "The most notable thing was that throughout the entire speech, the Prime Minister did not mention China. The whole country knows that China helped Pakistan, but the word China did not come out of the Prime Minister's mouth," Gandhi said.
Speaking in the Lower House, Gandhi claimed the government revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan, soon after it was launched.
"Yesterday, I watched Rajnath Singh ji's speech. He said that Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 in the morning and lasted for 22 minutes. He said a very shocking thing: that at 1:35, we called Pakistan and told them that we had hit non-military targets and we didn't want escalation. These are the words of the Defence Minister of India," the former Congress president said.
"You told Pakistan exactly what you would do: that you would not target military establishments and you didn't want escalation. That's surrender. Immediate surrender in 30 minutes," Gandhi said, slamming the government.
He cited remarks by Defence Attache in Indonesia, Group Captain Shiv Kumar, to claim that there were constraints by the political leadership to not attack the Pakistani military establishment and their air defences.
Why was the Pakistani government told that India will neither attack their army infrastructure nor their air defense and why were the hands of the Indian Air Force tied, Gandhi asked.
He alleged that the goal of this exercise was to "protect the image of the PM" as he had "blood of Pahalgam victims on his hands".
Tagging the video of his speech, Gandhi later said on X, "Prime Minister, The nation and the army are far above your image, your politics, your PR, and your propaganda. Have the humility to understand this, have the dignity to accept it." "If you lacked the ability to make decisions, you also had no right to pawn the pride of the army and the nation," he said.
In his remarks in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi said this government is clueless about what deterrence and political will means, and gave Indira Gandhi's example when Pakistan was broken into two parts in 1971.
"I said in this House, three-four months back and they laughed at me. I said please understand that India's biggest foreign policy challenge has been to keep Pakistan and China separate. And I said here that I am sad to say that you have destroyed the single biggest goal of foreign policy. China and Pakistan are fused," Gandhi said.
He said that what happened during Operation Sindoor is that the government of India thought it was fighting Pakistan but soon realised suddenly that they were fighting China and Pakistan both.
"Meaning that the Pakistani Air Force was attached with the Chinese Air Force and not only that, the doctrine of the Pakistani Air Force was changed ...the Chinese were feeding critical battlefield information to them," he said and cited Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh remarks on China's support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
Gandhi asserted that the armed forces should be used with freedom, saying if one wants to unleash a tiger, it should be freed.
"Do not tie his hands behind his back. Go all the way, defeat them once and for all. Don't have President Trump tell you 29 times that he stopped the war. Have the courage to tell him, 'no, to hell with you, you can't stop any war, we are going to fight'," the former Congress president said.
The point is that we're now facing a Chinese-Pakistani fusion right in front of us, he said.
"This is a very dangerous time, and we can't afford a Prime Minister who lacks the courage to utilise the army the way it has to be used. We can't afford a Prime Minister who doesn't have the guts to say from here that Donald Trump is a liar, that he didn't stop India from fighting and is lying about the planes," Gandhi said.
He said India needs a prime minister who frees the Army, Air Force and Navy and tells them -- 'Go, finish the job", much like what Indira Gandhi did. Gandhi claimed that Trump has stated "29 times" that he brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
"If he is lying, the PM should say here that Trump is lying. If he has the courage of an Indira Gandhi, let him say here, 'Trump, you are a liar, you did not make a ceasefire and we did not lose any planes'," Gandhi said.
"If Modi ji has even 50 per cent of the courage that Indira Gandhi had, then clearly he must say in Parliament - Donald Trump is lying!" he said.
In his remarks, Gandhi also referred to a statement of Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, who said in an interview that India rectified its tactics and hit deep inside Pakistani territory after suffering losses during Operation Sindoor.
"The Indian Air Force made no mistake but the mistake was committed by the political leadership that 'you cannot attack military infrastructure and CDS Anil Chauhan must say 'my hands were tied so the Air Force is not to be blamed at all'," Gandhi said. He asserted that the Pahalgam incident was a brutal attack that was organised and orchestrated clearly by the Pakistani state.
Referring to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's remarks in the House, Gandhi said he did not tell people that no country condemned Pakistan particularly.
"When the UPA government was there, Pakistan was condemned for terrorism," he said.
Gandhi also slammed Modi for not speaking out when Trump hosted the "architect of the Pahalgam attack", Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, for lunch.

Three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were eliminated near Srinagar under Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Lok Sabha.

Three terrorists involved in Pahalgam eliminated, Amit Shah announces in Lok Sabha

Three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were eliminated near Srinagar under Operation Mahadev, Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Lok Sabha.

Three of the terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam massacre have been eliminated by security forces in a joint operation by the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police near Srinagar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
The terrorists were killed Monday in an operation dubbed Mahadev but officials had held back in identifying them conclusively as the Pahalgam attackers.
Participating in a special discussion on Operation Sindoor, Shah also attacked the opposition party for giving a "clean chit" to Pakistan for the April 22 Pahalgam attack. Had the Congress opposed Partition, the problem of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir would never have occurred, he said.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Shah was referring to former Home Minister P Chidambaram's recent remarks that those behind the Pahalgam massacre could be "homegrown terrorists".
Giving details of 'Operation Mahadev', Shah said the slain terrorists have been identified as Suleman alias Faizal, Afghani and Jibran.
"While Suleman was an A-category commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Afghani was also an A-category LeT terrorist. Jibran too was a notorious and wanted terrorist. All these three involved in the killing of our citizens at Baisaran valley in Pahalgam have now been eliminated," he said.
Shah said the identity of the terrorists was confirmed by those detained for sheltering and providing them with food ahead of the Pahalgam attack.
The arms -- one M-9 and two AK-47 rifles -- recovered from the terrorists were flown to Chandigarh Monday night in a special flight for examination at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.
The empty cartridges found at Pahalgam and those after test firing by the guns recovered from the terrorists were matched by the forensic lab, Shah said. The ballistic report is with him, he added.
"Six forensic experts have confirmed to me on a video call this morning that these are the same bullets used in the Pahalgam attack," he said.
Shah said security forces had recovered Pakistani voter IDs of two of the killed terrorists as well as chocolates made in Pakistan and the weapons.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, through Operation Sindoor, ensured that the masterminds of the Pahalgam attack were eliminated. And yesterday, in Operation Mahadev, those terrorists who were involved were eliminated," he said.
Describing the Pahalgam attack as barbaric, Shah said innocent civilians were brutally killed in front of their families after being asked about their religion.
Expressing condolences for those killed in Pahalgam and during Pakistani shelling on civilians, he said civilians were martyred and some gurdwaras and temples damaged due to Pakistani firing.
Terrorists are now being sent from Pakistan to Jammu and Kashmir as there are no local terrorists in Kashmir, Shah said.
He said after the elimination of the three terrorists, he thought this news would spark a wave of joy across treasury and opposition benches. "But opposition faces are gloomy," he said.
Describing Pakistan as the root of all terrorism, he said Pakistan was a mistake committed by the Congress. "Had they rejected Partition, there would have been no Pakistan," he added.
Referring to Chidambaram's statement, Shah said it was extremely unfortunate that a former home minister is saying what evidence was there.
"What are they trying to prove? Whom are they trying to protect? They say that the terrorists were not Pakistani, and in this way, a former home minister from Congress is trying to give Pakistan a clean chit. By saying this, Chidambaram wants to suggest that if the terrorists were not Pakistani, then why did we attack Pakistan," he said, adding this was a clear conspiracy to protect Pakistan.
Shah said under Operation Sindoor, Indian forces attacked targets 100 km inside Pakistan and India could exposed state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.
He said India's armed forces crippled Pakistan's defence systems in such a manner that the neighbouring country had no choice but to request India to halt attacks.
"In 1948, Indian armed forces were in a decisive position to take back Pakistan occupied Kashmir but then PM Jawaharlal Nehru declared unilateral ceasefire," he said.
In 1971, Shah said, 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered and India had 15,000 sq km Pakistan territory under control, but still PoK was not taken back.
During 1962 war with China, then PM Nehru bade goodbye to Assam in a speech on Akashvani, he said.
Shah said between 2005 and 2011, there were 27 terrorists attacks but what did the Congress government do, they just sent dossiers to Pakistan.
"Terrorists now sent from Pakistan to J-K as no local terrorists in Kashmir... Scrapping of Article 370 has destroyed terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
"From 2004 to 2014, there were 7,217 terrorist incidents in Kashmir. From 2014 to 2025, these reduced by 70 per cent to 2,150. From 2004 to 2014, 1,770 civilians died. This reduced by 80 per cent to 357 from 2014 to 2025. From 2004 to 2014, the number of deaths of security forces was 1,060. This decreased to 542 in our time. And there was a 123 per cent increase in the deaths of terrorists," he said.
Attacking Congress, Shah said underworld don Dawood Ibrahim fled in 1986 when Rajiv Gandhi's government was in power, terrorists Syed Salahuddin, Tiger Memon, Anis Ibrahim Kaskar fled in 1993 when Congress government was in power and when Riyaz Bhatkal fled in 2007 and Iqbal Bhatkal fled in 2010, then again it was a Congress government.
"The answer they demanded from me has already been given by our security forces. Now let Rahul Gandhi answer why these people fled," he said.
Shah said Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) was scrapped by the Manmohan Singh government in its first cabinet meeting after coming to power in 2004.
"The country deserves to know who benefitted from Congress repealing POTA? Those opposed to POTA will never appreciate Narendra Modi's anti-terror policies," he said.&nbsp;

For the first time since the Monsoon session began, the Lok Sabha conducted a smooth Question Hour on Tuesday, amid ongoing opposition protests over key issues.

First Seamless Question Hour in Lok Sabha Amid Monsoon Session

Seamless Question Hour in Lok Sabha

For the first time since the Monsoon session began, the Lok Sabha conducted a smooth Question Hour on Tuesday, amid ongoing opposition protests over key issues.

Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed smooth functioning of the Question Hour for the first time since the beginning of the Monsoon session on July 21.
The House has been witnessing repeated disruptions over the Opposition's demand for a debate on electoral roll revision in Bihar and Operation Sindoor.
While the debate on Operation Sindoor commenced in the House on Monday, the Opposition disrupted the first half of the day demanding an assurance from the government that a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar will be held after that.
Tuesday was the first time in six days that the House could take up the Question Hour without disruptions.
Speaker Om Birla has been insisting that members should participate in the Question Hour as issues related to key ministries are taken up and the government is held accountable.&nbsp;

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed the opposition for backing out of the Operation Sindoor debate, accusing them of betrayal and setting preconditions.

"Please maintain the dignity of the House. Parliament is the representative House of 140 crore people, where important issues are supposed to be discussed. But you are disrupting the House functioning in a systematic matter," he said.
As the opposition members ignored his pleas, Birla adjourned the House till 12 noon.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to initiate the "special discussion on India's strong, successful and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam".
An aggressive opposition is expected to corner the government over US President Donald Trump's claims that he mediated to avert a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, and got them to agree on a "ceasefire".
India has made it clear that the cessation of firing and military activity targeted at Pakistan was paused after "direct contact" between the directors general of military operations (DGMOs) of both nations, at the instance of Islamabad.
