Amit Shah says infiltration changed Assam's demography, warns BJP will deport all
India Today
Union Home Minister Amit Shah sharply criticised Congress for border security lapses in Assam, highlighting BJP's efforts to curb infiltration and boost development.
In a sharp attack ahead of the Assembly elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday accused the Congress of leaving India’s borders open and allowing large-scale infiltration into Assam, declaring that the BJP government has reversed the situation and will now deport “every infiltrator”.
Addressing a programme in Assam’s Cachar district, Shah alleged that infiltration had been the “main problem” in the state under Congress rule.
“These Congress governments left our borders open to infiltrators. Infiltrators continued to enter Assam. An attempt was made to alter the demographics of Assam by snatching away the jobs of Assam’s youth, the food grains of the poor, and the land of the villages,” he said.
Shah credited the BJP government in the state, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, with curbing infiltration after coming to power a decade ago.
“The people of Assam initiated the formation of the BJP government ten years ago, and in the first five years, we worked to stop infiltration. In the second term, our CM Himanta Biswa Sarma worked to clear lakhs of acres of land occupied by infiltrators and remove them,” he said.
He added that what the BJP has achieved in 10 years in Assam “Congress hasn’t done in 50 years”.
