Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing them of considering Bangladeshi infiltrators as a “vote bank,” despite the threat they pose to Assam’s people, land, and cultural identity. Addressing a large public gathering after inaugurating the redeveloped Mahpurush Srimanta Sankardeva Abirbhav Kshetra at Batadrawa Than in Nagaon district, Shah said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was committed to identifying and eliminating all illegal immigrants in Assam and across India.
