Rajnath Singh flays UN :::: ".... some of its decisions raise serious questions .... like appointing Pakistan as vice-chair of their Counter-Terrorism panel" ::::: "Understand my silence" --- says Congress leader Manish Tewari

 Akhilesh Yadav (Samajwadi Party) and Home Minister Amit Shah clash in Lok Sabha 

गृहमंत्री अमित शाह: “हमने आतंकवादियों के ‘आका’ को ज़मीन में मिलाने का काम किया है।”
अखिलेश यादव: “‘आका’ तो पाकिस्तान है।”
अमित शाह: “पाकिस्तान से आपकी बात होती है क्या?”

The Home Minister quizes Yadav. "Do you keep talking to Pakistan". 

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Union Home Minister Amit Shah traded barbs in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

Shah was intervening during a debate on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack on Tuesday.

A clip of the heated exchange inside Parliament has gone viral on social media.

When Amit Shah was praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for successfully carrying out Operation Sindoor, under which the armed forces destroyed terrorist infrastructure through cross-border strikes inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, he claimed the Army and CRPF had neutralised the "Aaka" (Master) of terrorists.

At this point, the Kannauj MP intervened and reportedly said, "Aaka toh Pakistan mein hain" (The master is in Pakistan).

It was then Shah asked the former UP CM about his plans.

Amit Shah's response resulted in uproar from Samajwadi Party MPs, who rose from their seats and objected to his remarks.

"If there is one international forum that should have the biggest responsibility to work in the direction of counter-terrorism, it should be the United Nations. But, unfortunately, some of its decisions raise serious questions that include appointing Pakistan as vice-chair of their Counter-Terrorism panel," said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Rajya Sabha.

He also said: "I am not criticizing the then government (UPA). They did what they thought was appropriate after the Mumbai attack. I just want to tell you that today's India is different; it doesn't believe in submitting dossiers, but enters into the adversary's territory and hits them."

"Whatever the circumstances, it has always been the stand of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and mine personally, that the day will surely come when the people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) will have the good fortune of becoming a part of India's governance system".   

"The purpose of this operation (Sindoor) was not to start a war, but to compel the enemy to submit through a demonstrative show of force. On the morning of May 10, when the Indian Army targeted multiple Pakistani airfields, Pakistan suffered massive losses. 

The operation was halted not by our DGMOs, but by Pakistan's. It was stopped by Pakistan's DGMOs on the condition that it would not be considered terminated. If Pakistan commits another act of terrorism in the future, we will not hesitate to resume the operation.

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Tuesday stirred a controvrsy and added further fuel to speculation about 'internal rifts' within the party after posting a cryptic message on social media. 

Without naming anyone directly, Tewari shared a pointed quote outside Parliament: "There is a saying in English -- 'If you don't understand my silences, you will never understand my words."  

Reportedly, he was not included by Congress in the list of speakers for the debate on Operation Sindoor. 

Manish Tewari was part of the lawmakers' delegation those went abroad to share the Indian side of the story vis-a-vis Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.
