Amit Shah Pledges to Eliminate Infiltration and Secure India’s Borders

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking in Guwahati on the birth centenary of Assam’s first non-Congress CM Golap Borbora, reaffirmed the BJP’s resolve to make Assam and India free of infiltrators. He highlighted PM Modi’s demography mission as a key step to identify illegal foreigners and recalled Borbora’s 1978 voter list cleansing drive, which exposed 37,000 infiltrators and sparked the Assam Agitation. Criticising opposition resistance to the present SIR voter roll cleansing, Shah called it moral decline. He praised CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s anti-infiltrator measures and honoured Borbora’s socialist legacy, drawing parallels with Modi government’s efforts to recognise forgotten leaders.
