Addressing an election rally in Haryana’s Kaithal, Home Minister Amit Shah Wednesday said the Congress had “opposed” Rafale jet’s ‘shastra poojan’ (weapon worship) by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and the party should ponder over what it chooses to criticise. Advertising“Modiji brought in the Rafale aircraft and Rajnath ji did its ‘shastra poojan’ in France on Vijayadashmi. Shah said Vijayadashmi symbolises the victory of good over evil, and is also the day when weapons are traditionally worshipped. The problem is that Kharge Ji (Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge) is an atheist. But I did some research and found out that in five years, Manmohan Singh made more trips abroad than Modiji,” Shah said.
