Indian Borders at Stake: Citizenship & Illegal Immigration

My dear countrymen, I want to caution you all about a serious and growing concern. A well-thought-out conspiracy is underway which aims to alter the demographic dynamics of India. Seeds of a new concern are being sown.

These illegal immigrants are snatching away the employment opportunities of my country's youth. Such people are targeting the sisters and daughters of my nation. They are misleading innocent Adivasis and grabbing their land. The country will not tolerate this.

When demographic change takes place, especially in the bordering areas, national security comes under threat. The country's unity, integrity, and development face trouble. It sows seeds of social tension. No nation in the world can surrender itself to illegal immigrants. So how can we surrender Bharat?

Our forefathers gave us Independence through sacrifice and martyrdom. They gave us Independent India. Towards those great people, it is our duty that we do not tolerate such things in the country. This will be the real tribute to them."

- Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
