The remarks came amid the ongoing political sparring between the ruling BJP and the Congress over issues of national security, infiltration, and electoral reforms.

In the event, the Home Minister also dedicated 101 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to the public in New Delhi.
Along with this, he also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for various development projects of the Delhi government worth approximately Rs 1,600 crore, including 2 Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants, new blocks in five hospitals, a hostel for differently-abled girl students, 150 dialysis machines, Atal Asha Home, a nursing college and a hostel. On the occasion, Shah said the BJP has started the ‘Seva Pakhwada’ tradition to celebrate PM Modi’s 75th birthday, between September 17 and October 2, for the welfare of each.
