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. Shah said Vijayadashmi symbolises the victory of good over evil and is also the day when weapons are traditionally worshipped. “I would like to thank the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister for inducting the Rafale jets into the Air Force on this significant day, bolstering national security,” he added.
