The meeting comes amid repeated disruptions in Parliament over Opposition’s demand for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday praised Amit Shah for becoming the longest-serving home minister. The PM was addressing a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Parliamentary meeting where he was felicitated for his government’s “firm response” to the Pahalgam terror attack under Operation Sindoor. Notably, this is the second time MPs of the BJP-led ruling NDA alliance met during a Parliament session since June 2024—when the third tenure of Pm Modi started.
The meeting at the Parliament Library Building was chaired by the PM
NDA members also passed a resolution praising the success of the recent anti-terror operations—Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev. The meeting of the leaders of the ruling NDA came amid a deadlock in the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament. Both houses –the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha—have been witnessing repeated disruptions over the opposition’s demand for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
The Opposition is also pressing for the withdrawal of the revision exercise.
MPs hail NPM Modi’s “exceptional leadership”
NDA leaders hailed Modi’s “exceptional leadership,” saying that his unwavering resolve, visionary statesmanship and resolute command steered the nation with purpose but ignited a renewed spirit of unity and pride in the hearts of all Indians.
The resolution also noted recent global developments showing support for India’s stand against terrorism, including recent developments regarding The Resistance Front (TRF), which was behind the Pahalgam attack, being deemed a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group.
It also noted that the BRICS Joint Declaration condemning the Pahalgam attack, avowing to “ensure zero tolerance for terrorism and reject double standards in countering terrorism,” reflected a win for India’s diplomatic stance against terrorism inflicted on its soil by Pakistan, reflecting New Delhi’s rising clout on the global stage and international affirmation.
PM Modi ensured that 59 MPs from across parties visited 32 countries to present India’s point of view. This is one of the most comprehensive global outreach ever launched by India, highlighting how the country has been a victim of terror and why a terror attack in any one part of the world is a crime against humanity across the globe, the resolution added.
Apart from berating the Modi government over repeated “ceasefire” claims between India and Pakistan by US President Donald Trump, the opposition has also been calling the other countries’ response, “lack of support for India,” as they call it, a total “failure of foreign policy”. Recently senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar also took a swipe at party MP Shashi Tharoor’s foreign visits as part of India’s global outreach, saying that none of the 33 countries where India sent MPs to present the country’s views on Pakistan’s state policy of sponsoring terrorism blamed that country for the terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists.
Amit Shah- India’s longest serving HM
Meanwhile, with 2,258 days in office, Shah has become the longest-serving Union Minister of Home Affairs, surpassing the previous record held by BJP veteran Lal Krishna Advani.
Shah assumed office Modi government 2.0 on May 30, 2019.
Significantly, the milestone in Shah’s political career came on August 5—the date he announced the abrogation of Article 370 in Parliament in 2019, ending the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
In office since May 30, 2019, he completed 2,258 days on August 4, according to reports.
On July 25, 2025, PM Modi became the second longest serving Prime Minister of India in consecutive terms, surpassing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s record. The record for the unbroken stint is held by first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, although PM Modi has matched his three successive Lok Sabha elections—2014, 2019 and 2024.
