Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asserted that China couldn't encroach a single inch of land under the Narendra Modi government.Addressing a poll rally in Assam's Lakhimpur, the Home Minister said the BJP-led government at the Centre secured the country's border with Bangladesh and stopped infiltration."During the Chinese aggression of 1962, Nehru had said 'bye-bye' to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. People of these states can never forget that," Amit Shah said.
"But now, China could not encroach even a single inch of our land. Even in Doklam, we pushed them back," he added.
The Opposition, especially the Congress, has been accusing the BJP-led central government of not acting tough against China and surrounding areas.Amit Shah also said that Assam's border with Bangladesh was earlier "open for infiltration"."Then the Modi government came at the Centre, and the Himanta Biswa Sarma's government here. Now, we can say that infiltration has stopped," he said.
The Home Minister further attacked the Congress, saying, "A few days ago, Rahul Gandhi was saying we need to save the culture of Assam. I want to remind him what his grandmother did to Assam. Thousands of youths were misguided and killed. Whereas, Narendra Modi signed more than ten peace accords and brought stability to Assam. Over 9,000 people have surrendered and joined the mainstream."
