Union Home Minister Amit Shah responded sharply to the Congress protest on Friday, stating that the party had chosen August 5 as the date as a subtle message “of its appeasement politics” as it was on the same day in 2020 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation for the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya.
“Congress chose this day for protest and wore black clothes because they want to give a subtle message to further promote their appeasement politics because on this day itself Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation of Ram Janmabhoomi. It was a peaceful resolution of a 550-year-old issue which also fulfilled the aspirations of crores of people and their faith. I want to say that a policy of appeasement is not good for the country and anyone else, and it is because it follows such policies that Congress is in a state that it’s in,” he said. He also said that the Congress as a responsible political party should comply with the law, as the National Herald case was being investigated.
