Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday reiterated his firm stance against infiltration, asserting that no infiltrator should be allowed to remain in the country. “I am among those who firmly believe that not even a single infiltrator should remain in this country," Shah said. His remark came while he was addressing a gathering in Assam’s Guwahati.

Further appreciating former Assam Chief Minister Golap Borbora for initiating efforts to address the issue, he said, “Golap Borbora first raised awareness against infiltration in Assam by purging the voter list."

He added, “During his tenure as Chief Minister, voter lists were checked for 70 out of 126 assembly constituencies. Despite the lack of resources at that time, Golap Borbora successfully removed 36,780 infiltrators from the voter list."

Amit Shah Attacks Opposition

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also launched a scathing attack at opposition parties for allegedly opposing ongoing efforts to clean up voter records.

“Even today, the Election Commission is purifying the voter list; some parties have come out with the ‘Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra’ against it… The voter list of any country is the heart of the country’s democracy," he said.
