PM Narendra Modi criticised Congress over land and security issues in Assam, saying the party has committed a grave sin and has emerged as a threat to the security of both the nation and state. He said, "It jeopardised the safety of all three vital elements - 'Roti' (livelihood)...'Beti' (daughter)...and 'Mati' (soil)." He added, "Congress always extended its support to infiltrators."
