“Will you not believe your own foreign minister,” Amit Shah said amid boos from the Opposition leaders.
As per the Home ninister, he has an objection that they (Opposition) don’t repose faith in an Indian Foreign Minister but they have faith in some other country. But this doesn’t mean that all the things of their party should be imposed here in the House. This is the reason why they are sitting there (opposition benches), and will remain sitting there for the next 20 years,” the home minister added.

Earlier, in a strong assertion of India’s growing diplomatic influence, Jaishankar told the Lok Sabha that the Resistance Front (TRF), which claimed responsibility for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, has now been designated a global terrorist organisation. Jaishankar credited this success to sustained Indian diplomacy on the international stage.
He went on to highlight how India’s diplomatic efforts led to unprecedented developments. “Who thought that terror sites in Bahawalpur and Muridke would be brought down the way they were?” referencing long-time terror hubs in Pakistan. His remarks signaled a shift in the global community’s stance on cross-border terrorism and India’s proactive role in countering it.
Jaishankar laid emphasis on the strong multilateral condemnation of the Pahalgam attack. “Groups like Quad and BRICS, along with many individual countries, have openly denounced the attack,” he noted, pointing to growing international solidarity on counterterrorism issues.
He also underscored key support from global powers. “The German Foreign Minister has stated that India has every right to defend itself against terror and that they will support us. Similar statements of support have come from France and the European Union,” Jaishankar informed the House, reinforcing India’s strengthened global standing in the fight against terrorism.
