PATNA: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched a sharp attack on Grand Alliance leaders, accusing them of protecting infiltrators in Bihar’s Seemanchal region and vowed to remove them.
Addressing a rally in Banmankhi Assembly constituency in Purnea, Shah asked voters to back efforts to detect and expel those he described as illegal entrants.
“People of Seemanchal, tell me — should these infiltrators be removed from here or not? Rahul Gandhi and Lalu’s son had embarked on a ‘Save the Infiltrators’ march in Bihar a few weeks ago. They want Seemanchal to become a stronghold of infiltrators. But I declare today from the land of Seemanchal that we will work to remove every single infiltrator from Bihar. These infiltrators snatch away the jobs of our youth, take a share of the rations meant for the poor, and make the country insecure, ” he said.
