Prime Minister Modi Announces Demographic Mission from Red Fort

New Delhi, Aug 15 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a warning to the nation regarding a supposed premeditated conspiracy aimed at altering the country’s demographic make-up through illegal infiltration. He stated that no nation should tolerate such intrusions and announced the initiation of a high-powered demographic mission intended to confront this issue.

Addressing the nation from the Red Fort as part of the celebrations of India’s 79th Independence Day, Modi emphasized the sacrifices made by the country's forefathers for freedom and the responsibility of citizens to oppose such activities.

"I want to alert the country about a developing concern that is becoming a crisis. There is a premeditated plan to change the nation's demography, planting the seeds of a new crisis," Modi remarked.

"These infiltrators are taking away the livelihoods of our youth and are posing threats to the security of our daughters and sisters. This will not be tolerated. They mislead innocent tribals and occupy their forest areas. Such actions will not be accepted in this country," he stated.

Modi announced that his government will initiate a comprehensive demographic mission to address this challenge effectively.

"From the Red Fort, I declare our decision to launch a high-powered demographic mission. This mission is designed to address the significant crisis facing our nation within a specified timeframe," he declared.

Modi cautioned that demographic shifts, particularly in border regions, pose a national security threat.

"These changes threaten our unity, integrity, and progress. They plant the seeds of social discord. If no nation in the world would willingly invite infiltrators, then how can we allow them entry into Bharat?" Modi asserted.

He further reminded that the forefathers of the nation achieved freedom through immense sacrifice, leaving behind an independent nation, and it is the responsibility of every citizen to reject such adverse activities. This will stand as a true tribute to their sacrifices.
