I don't get angry, my loud voice is 'manufacturing defect': Union Home Minister Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Lok Sabha on Monday that he does not get angry, except when it comes to questions related to Kashmir. Responding to opposition parties before starting the discussion on the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, Shah said, "I usually never get angry. But when it comes to the Kashmir issue, I get angry."

The Union Minister added, "I never reprimand anyone. My voice is loud while is a manufacturing defect," evoking laughter from the members of the House. During the discussion on the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill in August 2019, there was a heated argument between Shah and Congress Parliamentary party leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the Lok Sabha. Expressing anger over Chowdhury's statement, the Home Minister had said that he would give up his life for Kashmir. On Monday, the opposition parties referred to that, to which the Home Minister responded.

Earlier, speaking on the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, Shah said the bill will replace the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920. (IANS)
