The Congress on Tuesday targeted Home Minister Amit Shah over his Lok Sabha remarks on left-wing extremism, sarcastically claiming he achieved a “miracle” by speaking for 90 minutes without using his “favourite word of abuse”. Hitting back, Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday, the Home Minister accomplished a miracle in the Lok Sabha. He raved and ranted for 90 minutes without once using his favourite word of abuse - which has had to be expunged on previous occasions." Last year, he had announced that left-wing extremism would be eradicated by March 31, 2026, with major operations launched against insurgents. "The biggest achievement of the Modi government is a Naxal-free India; any researcher will accept this," he said.
