India Not a ‘Dharamshala’, Says Amit Shah; Cites Threats From Infiltrators
Shah said illegal border crossers threaten security and demographics as he ordered agencies to use a four-pronged plan and drug-control measures.
On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled a new border security framework at the Intelligence Bureau's National Security Strategy conference in New Delhi, targeting illegal infiltrators for swift elimination.
Asserting that India is "not a dharamshala," Shah emphasized only citizens have the right to reside in the country, framing the initiative as vital to combatting rising extremism and digital disinformation.
Shah credited state police and CAPFs for resolving Naxalism challenges, while directing forces to implement the Narcotics Control Vision document using "Detect, Disrupt and Destroy" strategy against illegal networks.
Shared with land-border states, the approach targets illegal crossings; legal entrants are welcome to contribute to India's prosperity while illegal entrants will be dealt with strictly.
The Home Minister instructed security officers to analyze crime trends over the next 15 to 20 years, enabling preemptive preventive strategies to strengthen India's internal security long-term.
