The Congress on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) said it was "bizarre" of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to claim that peace had been established in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast, alleging that his assertion was meant to divert attention from his own "colossal failures."
The Opposition party also said that never has India had a Union Home Minister whose tenure has been one of "maximum boasts, minimum achievements." In a post in Hindi on X, Mr. Shah had on Monday (June 9, 2025) said that the 11 years of the Narendra Modi government was a "golden period" of resolve, endeavour and dedication towards public service.
"Naxalism is on its last legs, peace has been established in Jammu-Kashmir and the Northeast, India now responds to terrorist attacks by entering the homes of terrorists. This shows the changing picture of India under the Modi government," he said.

Responding to the remarks, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh on X said Mr. Shah's claim was "bizarre" since Manipur continues to burn and Pahalgam attackers were still at large. "They are meant to divert attention from his own colossal failures," he said.
