BJP's mission is to rid country of infiltrators': PM Modi in Assam
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|September 15, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made illegal migration the central theme of his political message in Assam, declaring that the BJP's mission is to rid the country of infiltrators and protect the land and identity of the people.
Addressing a massive rally in Mangaldoi, the Prime Minister accused the Congress of deliberately facilitating illegal migration for vote-bank politics and conspiring to alter the demographic balance in Assam's sensitive border districts.
"BJP will not allow illegal migrants to capture the land of our tribals and farmers... those who try to protect them won't be spared," Mr Modi said, asserting that his government would not let infiltrators dictate the country's policies.
He reminded the people of Assam that the scars of the 1962 war with China still remain and accused the Congress leadership of perpetuating a legacy of "insulting the people of the North-east."
