Overview
- Amit Shah told the BSF’s 61st Raising Day in Bhuj that the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision is a “purification” of voter rolls and pledged to identify and deport every infiltrator.
- He cited the Bihar Assembly result as a public mandate against infiltrators and warned parties he accused of seeking to keep their names on electoral lists.
- Shah said trials for an e-border security system are complete, targeted full ground rollout within a year, and projected covering the entire land border under an electronic shield within five years.
- Crediting Operation Sindoor, he claimed Indian forces destroyed militant infrastructure and that Pakistan announced a unilateral ceasefire following Indian actions.
- The announcements drew sharp pushback from the TMC, which sought his resignation and asked the CEC to halt SIR; party leaders alleged SIR-linked coercion, and a Gujarat BLO’s suicide was reported with a note citing SIR-related stress.
