- Shah challenged opposition to debate electoral roll revision.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the opposition’s protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, accusing the party of trying to protect infiltrators. Addressing a rally in Hyderabad after the BJP’s ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ march, Shah also mocked the Congress’s mock parliament, saying Gandhi could become Prime Minister only in a simulated legislature.
He challenged the opposition to attend a special parliamentary session to discuss the issue, alleging that it was avoiding debate.
Shah’s Jibe
Taking aim at Gandhi, Shah said the Congress leader should become Prime Minister in the mock parliament, as he would not be able to secure the position in the real one.
“You can become Prime Minister once in a mock parliament, because you will not be able to become one in the real Parliament,” Shah said, adding that such an outcome might bring peace to Sonia Gandhi.
#WATCH | Hyderabad, Telangana: Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, “Rahul ji, listen to me. Two days ago, you held a mock Parliament. If you had asked me, I would have suggested that you become Prime Minister at least once in this mock Parliament without becoming the Leader of the Opposition. Why? Because you will never be able to become Prime Minister in the real Parliament. At least if you become Prime Minister in a mock Parliament, Sonia ji’s heart will find some peace.” “Rahul ji, you cannot win elections this way. You spend three or four months in the country and then go abroad. You will have to sweat it out in the country. You will have to stand united with the people and work to resolve their problems.”

He also accused Gandhi of failing to understand public concerns, alleging that he travelled abroad for three to four months at a time instead of addressing people’s problems.
Shah further claimed that Congress leaders invoked the Constitution but failed to uphold its principles and disrupted parliamentary proceedings.

Special Session Challenge
Shah challenged the opposition to participate in a special parliamentary session to discuss the SIR exercise.
“I challenge them. We are ready to convene a special session. Come and discuss it,” he said.
#WATCH | Hyderabad, Telangana: Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, “The Constitution’s responsibilities are discharged through the country’s Parliament, but Rahul ji, you do not allow Parliament to function. I challenge you today from the land of Hyderabad. We are ready to convene a special session of Parliament. Come and participate in a discussion. But he will not participate in the discussion because he knows that only through anarchy and disorder can the Congress party keep itself in the news. If Parliament functions, our Modi ji will completely demolish their arguments.”

The Home Minister alleged that the opposition was unwilling to debate the matter because it relied on creating disorder to remain in the headlines. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would strongly counter the opposition if Parliament functioned.
Infiltration Charge
Referring to a rally held by Gandhi in Delhi, Shah claimed that it was not a campaign to protect votes but an attempt to shield infiltrators.
He accused Congress of opposing the SIR process to prevent Bangladeshi infiltrators from being removed from electoral rolls. Shah asserted that the BJP would ensure their removal from both the voter lists and the country.
Voter List Claims
Responding to Gandhi’s allegation that 13 crore names had been deleted from electoral rolls, Shah rejected the claim as false. He said 6.25 crore voters had moved elsewhere, 2.8 crore had died, one crore entries were duplicates, and three crore entries related to people who did not exist.
