New Delhi — Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised concerns over what he described as a “deliberate plot” to change the demographic mix of India’s border regions, warning that such moves could have serious national security implications.
Addressing a gathering, Modi said the issue was not just about migration or settlement but about attempts to destabilize sensitive areas through population manipulation. He emphasized that the government was closely monitoring developments and would take firm steps to safeguard the integrity and security of India’s borders.
“This is not a natural demographic shift. It is being orchestrated to alter the balance in strategically important regions,” Modi alleged, while urging citizens to remain vigilant.
The Prime Minister’s remarks come amid heightened political debate over illegal migration, particularly in states sharing international borders. Opposition parties have criticized the government for failing to address the root causes, while supporters argue that Modi is exposing a long-ignored threat.
Security agencies have reportedly been asked to increase surveillance and prepare detailed reports on migration trends in border districts. Experts suggest that if unchecked, such demographic changes could affect not only local governance but also India’s security calculus.
Modi’s comments are expected to trigger further debate in Parliament and across the country, as the issue of border population dynamics remains a deeply sensitive and politically charged topic.
