Congress allowed infiltrators hurt Assam’s identity, culture, land: Amit Shah at police event

During the inauguration of the Assam Police's 10th Battalion campus in Kosutoli, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the Congress party for allegedly facilitating the influx of illegal immigrants into Assam. Shah asserted that such actions have significantly undermined the state's identity, culture, and land. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding Assam’s demographic fabric, stating that the presence of infiltrators poses a threat to the region's heritage. This statement comes amid ongoing debates over immigration policies and their impact on northeastern states, where issues of identity and resources are particularly sensitive. Shah's remarks align with the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) broader narrative on national security and cultural preservation, as they seek to bolster support in Assam ahead of upcoming elections. The event also underscored the government's commitment to enhancing law enforcement capabilities in the state, with the new police facility expected to improve the operational effectiveness of local police forces in combating crime and maintaining public order.
