Congress Supports Pakistan-Backed Terrorists and Shelters Infiltrators, says PM Modi in Assam  

National News: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday sharply criticised the Congress party during his visit to Assam’s Darrang,  accusing it of siding with anti-national forces and supporting terrorists nurtured by Pakistan. “Rather than standing with our brave soldiers, Congress chooses to support infiltrators and people who threaten India’s unity. This party has repeatedly protected anti-national forces,” Modi said while addressing a massive public gathering.

This was the Prime Minister’s first visit to Assam after the successful Operation Sindoor carried out by Indian forces, which he called a “major success” dedicated to Maa Kamakhya and Lord Krishna. “Yesterday was my first visit to Assam after Operation Sindoor. With Maa Kamakhya’s blessings, the operation succeeded. Today, on this sacred land, I feel a divine connection,” he added.

Today, on this holy occasion, I again present our vision of the Sudarshan Chakra for national security,” he said. During his Independence Day address, the Prime Minister launched the Sudarshan Chakra Mission a 10-year plan to build an advanced, Iron Dome-style defence shield in India. “By 2035, we will upgrade, expand, and strengthen this system. It will protect us from terrorist attacks and also respond strongly,” he said, stressing India’s aim of becoming fully self-reliant in defence technology.
