PM Modi accuses Congress of backing infiltrators, vows to protect Assam’s identity

Gogamukh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday alleged that the Congress, if it comes to power in Assam, will bring in a law to protect infiltrators, which the BJP and its allies will not allow.

Addressing a poll rally at Gogamukh in Dhemaji district, Modi said the Congress' aim is to "turn the majority community into a minority and create a permanent vote bank of infiltrators''.

"Congress leaders are openly saying that they will bring in a new law in Assam to protect infiltrators and are openly supporting them," the PM alleged.

He also accused the grand old party of "trying to divide the country as the Muslim League did during Partition".

"The Congress have also stabbed the Constitution prepared by Babasaheb Ambedkar," Modi said.

The Prime Minister said if the BJP returns to power, it will "implement the Uniform Civil Code and safeguard tribals under the Sixth schedule to protect Assam's identity".

''The BJP's 10-year rule heralded a new dawn of 'seva' (service) and 'sushasan' (good governance) in Assam," he said.
