Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking at the inauguration of border outposts and various development projects, targeted those he termed “ghuspaithiya” (infiltrators), stating that the government was determined to identify each one and deport them from the country. He alleged that such infiltrators take away rations meant for the poor, deprive youth of employment, and pose a threat to national security. He also raised concerns about “demographic change” and referred to the formation of a committee to address the issue.
