Says people worried for ‘honour of sisters, mothers’
-
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday charged opposition parties with shielding illegal immigrants, asserting that infiltration had caused a “demographic crisis” in eastern states like Bihar, Assam and West Bengal, making people “worried for the honour of their sisters and daughters”.
Addressing a rally here, Modi also slammed the Congress for allegedly comparing the people of Bihar with ‘bidis', terming it an “insult to Biharis”.
He alleged that opposition parties like Congress and RJD have been imperilling “security and resources” of Bihar, and the nation at large, by “defending and shielding” infiltrators from foreign countries.
