On Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah made a powerful statement, asserting that Naxalism would be eradicated from India by March 2026, aligning with the government's set deadline. Further, he pledged to remove illegal immigrants from the nation's electoral rolls and the country itself within the next five years.

During his visit to Assam, Shah attended the 87th CRPF Day Parade, marking the first celebration of its kind in the northeast. He credited the CRPF with playing a critical role in stabilizing regions like Jammu and Kashmir and effectively dismantling Maoist networks.

Shah also laid the foundation stone for a new campus for Assam Police's 10th Battalion, emphasizing its significance as it will be built on land freed from encroachers. He criticized the Opposition, particularly Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Congress of using illegal immigrants as a votebank and vowed to address the infiltration issue.
