In a combative address in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah hit out at the Congress over a range of topics, including Operation Sindoor.

Amid repeated queries by the Opposition over India’s combat skills, Shah also defended the government’s handling of cross-border terror, highlighting the success of “Operation Sindoor," India’s retaliatory military action against Pakistan earlier this year.

Further, Shah also accused the grand-old party of historical missteps and alleged a pattern of weakness in dealing with external threats. Here are the top quotes of Amit Shah from the Parliament session today:

• “… Six of Pakistan’s radar systems were destroyed… They attacked our residential areas, but we did not do the same… We only attacked their air bases and ruined their attacking capabilities. Our armed forces were intact. And their attacking capacities were destroyed. Pakistan had no option but to surrender. On May 10, the Pakistani DGMO called our DGMO, and we paused the conflict at 5 pm…"
• “Pakistan is Congress’s mistake. If they had not accepted partition, there would have been no Pakistan today."
• “Today, China is in UN Security Council, and India is not. Modi ji is trying his best to get India to become a part of the UN Security Council. Jawaharlal Nehru’s stand is responsible for this…When our jawans were facing Chinese soldiers in Doklam, Rahul Gandhi was holding a meeting with the Chinese ambassador…This love for China has passed down three generations from Jawaharlal Nehru, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi…"
• “They were asking yesterday where the perpetrators of Pahalgam went… Those who were hiding during your tenure are being searched and killed today… At least 100 people have been killed by our forces… On May 7, our job was completed at 1.26 am… This is not Manmohan Singh’s government; we will not sit quietly and send dossiers… On 9th May, 11 of Pakistan’s air bases were destroyed… Attack on eight of the air bases was so precise that it shook Pakistan’s air defence system…"
• “Yesterday, they (Congress) were raising questions about why there was no war….Today, PoK exists only because of Jawaharlal Nehru…In 1960, they gave 80% of the Indus waters to Pakistan….In 1971, during the Simla Agreement, they (Congress) forgot about PoK. If they had taken PoK then, we would not have to carry out attacks on camps there now…"
• “Yesterday, former Home Minister Chidambaram raised a question about the proof of the terrorists coming from Pakistan… Whom does he want to save? What will he gain by defending Pakistan?… We have the proof that these three were Pakistanis. We have voter ID numbers of the two of them… The chocolates recovered from them are made in Pakistan… The former Home Minister of this country is giving a clean chit to Pakistan. If they were not Pakistanis, then Chidambaram is also raising the question as to why Pakistan was attacked… 130 crore people are watching their conspiracy to save Pakistan…"
• “Following Operation Sindoor, our DGMO informed the Pak DGMO that India has attacked terror infrastructure on their land as per our right of self-defence. It cannot be like how it happened during Manmohan Singh’s government, that terrorists come and kill us and we sit quietly…We killed terrorists who bled India under the Congress govt…"
• “Our security forces neutralised more than 100 terrorists during Operation Sindoor."
• “On 30th April, there was a meeting of the CCS, in which the security forces were given complete operational freedom. Operation Sindoor was launched on 7th May and carried out between 1:04 am and 1:24 am. In this operation, nine terror sites in Pakistan were destroyed. No Pakistani civilians were killed in this attack."
• “…Yesterday, Gogoi ji said that Modi ji went to Bihar instead of Pahalgam on 24th April. At the time of the Pahalgam attack, Modi ji was abroad. The day Modi ji went to Bihar, only Rahul Gandhi was in Pahalgam and no one else…It is the duty of the PM to give a befitting reply if there is such an attack on citizens of the country…"
