At 1:00 PM, he will speak at a commemorative function marking the 60th death anniversary of VD Savarkar, an influential figure in India’s freedom struggle and nationalist thought.
His visit will conclude with his departure for New Delhi at 2:30 PM.
A senior BJP official confirmed that this visit holds special significance as it follows India’s retaliatory strikes under Operation Sindoor and the resulting ceasefire with Pakistan.
This is Shah’s first visit to Maharashtra after Operation Sindoor. The official said that national security and India’s zero tolerance for terrorism will naturally feature as central themes in his speeches.
He also highlighted Shah’s recent remarks from 23 May, in which the Home Minister accused the Pakistan Army of direct complicity in cross-border terrorism.
Shah stated that senior Pakistani military officials offered funeral prayers and carried the coffins of terrorists whom Indian forces neutralised during the 7 May strikes on terror hubs in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan.
Shah’s Maharashtra tour aligns with India’s wider Operation Sindoor global outreach, where Indian delegations are engaging with international stakeholders to highlight the ongoing threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan and to assert India’s right to self-defence on the global stage.
As the tour unfolds, political observers expect Shah’s messages in Maharashtra to echo the Centre’s firm stance on national security, while reinforcing the government’s efforts to rally domestic and international support against cross-border terrorism.
