Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for questioning the caste and religion of Army personnel, asserting that such inquiries promote discrimination, which has no place in the armed forces. Shah emphasized the importance of national security, accusing illegal Bangladeshi immigrants of threatening jobs and safety, and argued that only the NDA government can ensure a secure and development-oriented Bihar. He dismissed Gandhi’s claims regarding caste representation in various sectors, framing them as part of a failed political narrative associated with the opposition. This exchange highlights the ongoing political tensions in India, where issues of identity and representation significantly influence electoral strategies and national discourse.
