Addressing a rally in Karnal, Haryana, Shah said that if Rahul Gandhi wanted to discuss the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, he could write a letter to the Prime Minister. He added that the government was ready to convene a special session of Parliament to discuss the issue.

'Modi Ji Is Not Needed For Discussion'
Addressing Rahul Gandhi, Amit Shah said, "Rahul ji, Modi ji is not needed. If you want a discussion, just write a letter to Modi ji. We are ready to convene a special session to discuss SIR." He said Parliament was the biggest platform for discussion in a democracy. Shah also accused the Congress of disrupting parliamentary proceedings and boycotting sessions by creating a ruckus.

Amit Shah Launches Sharp Attack On Rahul Gandhi
During the rally, Amit Shah launched several sharp attacks on the Congress leader. He said the Congress had continuously faced electoral defeats under Rahul Gandhi's leadership. Shah alleged that Rahul Gandhi disrespects Parliament, the Lok Sabha Speaker and the judiciary. He added that the people of the country would not be misled by Gandhi's claims made in the name of democracy. Shah also said the Congress had been answered through its own 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' rallies.

Shah Accuses Congress Of Protecting Infiltrators
Amit Shah also accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of trying to protect infiltrators. He claimed that the Congress was doing politics over the issue of three crore infiltrators. Shah described Rahul Gandhi's rally as an attempt to protect infiltrators. He further alleged that the Congress takes different positions on electoral rolls in different states. According to Shah, the party considers voter lists correct in states where it wins elections but questions the Election Commission and electronic voting machines (EVMs) when it loses.
