The Chief Minister emphasized Assam’s historical challenges with infiltration from across the Bangladesh border. He stressed that unchecked infiltration poses demographic, social, and security implications, especially for border states like Assam.

While advocating for vigilance, the Chief Minister warned that any form of extremism, violence against minorities, or hostile intentions towards India’s territory would be strongly addressed.
