Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday, 8 June, took a jibe at Home Minister Amit Shah’s claims of India’s ability to protect its borders and said that it’s all a make-believe tactic to ‘keep the heart pacified.’
Shah on Sunday claimed that after the United States and Israel, India is the only country that protects its borders as strongly.
“India's defence policy has gained global acceptance. The whole world agrees that after USA and Israel if there is any other country that is able to protect its borders, it is India,” Shah claimed.
Rahul Gandhi on Monday retweeted the comment by Shah, saying, “सब को मालूम है ‘सीमा’ की हक़ीक़त लेकिन, दिल के ख़ुश रखने को, ‘शाह-यद’ ये ख़्याल अच्छा है।” (Everybody is aware of the reality of border tensions, but this is a good thought to pacify the heart.)
