New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday called on President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here.
A picture of the meeting was shared by the president's office in a post on X.
"Union Minister for Home Affairs and Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan," it said in the post.
Rashtrapati Bhavan did not specify any agenda for the meeting.
However, social media users linked the meeting with security drills scheduled for Thursday across bordering states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Several influential social media handles were speculative in nature about further agression between India and Pakistan.
Just a couple of weeks ago, on May 7, 2025, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, a precision strike targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The operation, which resulted in the elimination of at least 100 terrorists, was a significant escalation in India’s counter-terrorism efforts. However, it also led to retaliatory actions from Pakistan, including ceasefire violations and cross-border attacks, raising fears of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
The situation was eventually de-escalated on May 10 after Director General of Military Operation (DGMO) of Pakistan called the Indian counterpart.
Against this backdrop, Shah’s meeting with President Murmu has set social media abuzz with theories about what might be in the works.
