Congress hits back at Amit Shah, says he should quit Home Ministry
The Story in Brief
Congress on Thursday, 5 November, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah is unable to handle his ministry and should return to being BJP chief. Congress media head Pawan Khera posted on X that in seven years, 3 crore infiltrators have not been managed, Manipur has been out of control for three years, and now Arunachal Pradesh is not under control.
Khera cited Pulwama and Pahalgam attacks and 300 kg of RDX found near the national capital. He said Shah should take the ‘mobile circus’ from Hyderabad to other states rather than ‘sinking the country’s ship’ by holding the home ministry. The attack followed Shah earlier calling the INDIA bloc’s 1 November rally a ‘ghuspathiya bachao’ event.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report identical facts from Congress leader Pawan Khera’s X post attacking Amit Shah, but The Economic Times leads with Khera’s ‘Mota bhai’ taunt and the full quote chain, while The Indian Express frontloads Shah’s ‘ghuspathiya bachao’ remark that triggered the exchange. The Economic Times omits Shah’s Karnal speech entirely, presenting the Congress attack without the immediate provocation. The Indian Express gives the fuller sequence, Shah’s rally comment then Khera’s retort, making the context clearer. Neither source adds independent fact-checking or comment from the Home Ministry. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting of a political volley, with the difference only in framing what led the story. Both outlets end with Khera’s call for Shah to return to the BJP presidency.
