Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the no-confidence motion brought by the opposition is “politically motivated” and seeks to create confusion among people while underlining that the Parliament and the citizens have trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking during the discussion on the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha, Shah said the Modi government has taken more than 50 landmark decisions in the last nine years.

“There is no question of the minority. There is also belief in the people. 60 crore poor people got new energy in their lives because of the Narendra Modi government. NDA was elected twice with the majority. After 30 years, a majority and stable government was formed,” he said.

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi moved the no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

  • Shah said Rs 25 lakh crore was sent to bank accounts of poor people without any commission while slamming Congress over corruption.
  • In a veiled attack on Rahul Gandhi, Shah said there is one member in this House who has been launched 13 times in politics. “This member failed all 13 times. I have seen one launching when he went to meet a poor lady from Bundelkhand named Kalavati. But what did you do for her?  House, ration, and electricity were provided to her by the Modi government,” he said.
  • Shah said PM Modi received the highest honours of 14 nations and added it is respect of 130 crore people of India.

  • Shah ruled out any dialogue with Pakistan as well as the Hurriyat Conference but said the government can hold talks with the youth of the Kashmir valley.
  • He said that the Centre banned PFI in the country and conducted raids at over 90 locations in the country.

“Genuine” depositors of Sahara Cooperative Societies will be paid their amount through the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies no later than nine months, replied Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah to a question asked by BJP Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Modi about the future of the investors.

Modi had asked about the amount that has been allowed to withdraw from Sahara-SEBI fund to repay the investors of four multi-state co-operative societies run by the Sahara Group.

Shah said, “As per the submissions made by the four Sahara group of cooperative societies namely Sahara Credit Cooperative Society Ltd., Lucknow, Saharayn Universal Multipurpose Society Ltd, Bhopal, Humara India Credit Cooperative Society Ltd, Kolkata, and Stars Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd, Hyderabad, during the hearings held in November, 2019 to December, 2020 before the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies, an amount of Rs 62,643 crore had been invested in Aamby Valley Ltd and Rs 2,253 crore has been taken out from Sahara Credit Cooperative Society Ltd and deposited with SEBI.”

The Minister of Cooperation further explained that of the total amount of Rs 24,979.67 crore lying in the ‘Sahara-SEBI Refund Account’, Rs 5,000 crore will be transferred to the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies, who, in turn, will transfer the amount into the bank accounts of the Sahara Group of Cooperative Societies depositors in “the most transparent manner” and after “proper identification”.

The disbursement of the amount will be supervised and monitored by Justice R. Subhash Reddy, former judge of the Supreme Court, along with advocate Gaurav Agarwal, who is appointed as Amicus Curiae, as well as the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Shah said.

The manner and modalities for making the payment needs to work out by the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies in consultation with Justice Reddy and Agarwal.

The minister further said the amount will be paid to “genuine depositors” no later than nine months. The balance amount be again transferred to the ‘Sahara-SEBI Refund Account’.

Idea of India is not at risk, dynasty politics is: Amit Shah targets Opposition

Shah began his speech in Kaushambi by asking the audience who they will elect in 2024, eliciting loud cries of “Modi” in response

India’s democracy is not in danger but dynasty and family-based politics is, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Friday, as he hit out at the Opposition over disruptions that marred the recently concluded Budget session of Parliament, and said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is on course to cross 300 seats in the 2024 polls.

At two functions in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambi and Azamgarh towns, Shah launched projects worth ₹5,180 crore, criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his comments in the UK last month, and said that abuses heaped on Prime Minister Narendra Modi only make the lotus — the BJP’s electoral symbol — bloom.

“They (the Opposition) claim that democracy is in danger. I say that it is their family-ism which is in danger. They say the idea of India is in danger but it is the idea of the dynasty that is in danger. The politics of dynasty and family autocracy is in danger,” Shah told an audience in Kaushambi.

“They kept democracy bound in casteism and nepotism for years but Modiji defeated these family, caste and appeasement-based political parties,” he added.

Shah began his speech in Kaushambi by asking the audience who they will elect in 2024, eliciting loud cries of “Modi” in response. “The Modi Modi chants are not only the voice of Kaushambi but also the entire nation,” Shah said.

He attacked the Opposition, saying for first time in the country’s history, Parliament’s budget session ended without any discussions. The session was nearly washed out because of protests by ruling party members, who demanded Rahul Gandhi apologise for his comments in the UK, and opposition parties, which wanted a joint parliamentary committee probe into allegations of fraud against the Adani Group.

Shah said opposition parties did not allow the House to function because of Gandhi’s disqualification as an MP. He lost his seat after a Surat court convicted him in a criminal defamation case and sentenced him to two years imprisonment. That verdict is now under challenge.

“The Supreme Court made this law through its decision. Former PM Manmohan Singh wanted to reform this law at that time to save Lalu Prasad Yadav and it was Rahul Gandhi who had stopped him,” he said, adding that 17 lawmakers had lost their seats under this law. “But when Rahul Gandhi faced the same consequence strictly as per law, the Congress blocked Parliament, wearing black clothes in protest.”

“I want to remind Rahul Gandhi that it is the duty of every citizen to follow the law. You were an MP. Challenge this decision, but you have chosen to sacrifice the invaluable time of Parliament over this. The people will not forgive you,” he said.

In contrast, he said, PM Modi secured India, enriched India, and earned respect for India across the globe. “But the Congress chants slogans threatening to dig a grave for him. I want to tell the Congress that every time they hurled abuses at Modiji, the people of India made the lotus bloom,” he added.

Blaming Gandhi for defaming India abroad, Shah said that the BJP was ready to take on his “fake” narrative in India. “What does he think? Are people not watching his activities? The people of India observe everything and decide accordingly. For the last ten years they have been watching the opposition, hence rest assured that this time around the people of India will elect Modiji again with more than 300 seats,” Shah said.
