Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah, today inaugurated the Brahmaputra
Wing at Raj Bhavan in Guwahati, Assam, and performed the inauguration and foundation laying of eightprojects worth ₹322 crore through virtual mode. On this occasion, Assam Governor Shri Lakshman Prasad
Acharya, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, and Union Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, along with
several other dignitaries, were present.
In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah said that despite enduring
various ups and downs and violent conflicts, the Northeast is now progressing towards peace, development,
and comprehensive growth. He remarked that from Maharaja Prithu to Lachit Borphukan, and from Chilarai
to the sacrifices made by the youth of Assam who joined the armed forces for Mother India, the Northeast has
always been a vital pillar of India's security. Shri Shah further said that the Northeast is home to one of the
world's oldest and most diverse cultures. The art, languages, cuisine, attire, music, and natural beauty of this
region make the entire Northeast uniquely remarkable on the global stage.
Shri Amit Shah said that during the struggle of the Assam Bachao Andolan, many youths made sacrifices, and
the vision with which students led the movement at that time has been realized today by the duo of Prime
Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma. He said that the Assam
envisioned during the Assam Movement has not only been achieved but surpassed, and this pace of
development will continue unabated.
Union Home Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Northeast has
witnessed unprecedented development over the past 11 years. Whenever the history of the Northeast is
written, these 11 years of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's governance will be inscribed in golden letters.
He said that in the last 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has brought about transformative changes in every
sector of the country. Be it external and internal security, infrastructure development, power generation,
lifting 25 crore people above the poverty line, or providing 60 crore people with homes, electricity, toilets,
piped water, gas cylinders, and healthcare coverage up to ₹5 lakh in the last 10 years, Prime Minister Modi
has not only formulated policies but also ensured their implementation on the ground. He added that as a
result, progress has been made in every sector across the country, and the world is watching this with
astonishment.
Shri Amit Shah said that under today's program, eight projects worth over ₹322 crore have been inaugurated
and their foundation stones laid. He said that the Modi government has repealed the three old criminal laws
established by the British and introduced three new Indian laws for the criminal justice system. These new
laws place significant emphasis on police investigations based on Forensic Science Laboratories (FSL) and
efforts to ensure punishment for offenders. He added that under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's
leadership, the entire country is realizing the dream of a Digital India. Shri Shah emphasized that cyber
security is extremely important for citizens, and therefore, the Government of India established the first
National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (NCFL) in Delhi under the I4C initiative in 2019, which helps protect
citizens' hard-earned money from cybercriminals. He said that after Delhi, the second NCFL has been
established in Guwahati, Assam, which will safeguard the earnings of citizens across all eight Northeastern
states. Furthermore, the NCFL will also prove instrumental in strengthening national security by countering
those who use the dark net for narcotics, arms smuggling, and attempts to infiltrate by exploiting gaps in
India's borders.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Minister said that through the NCFL established at the
Lachit Borphukan Police Academy, policemen from all the eight states of the Northeast will work 24 hours a
day to protect the country's borders, help in the fight against narcotics and illegal smuggling and secure the
earnings of citizens. He said that today many facilities have also been inaugurated for the soldiers of the
Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) who protect our borders.
The Home Minister said that the Brahmaputra wing of the Raj Niwas, built at a cost of more than Rs 40 crore
and in an area of more than 3300 square meters, will have facilities to run many constitutional activities
smoothly. He said that this facility will act as a place for acknowledging students, artists, and researchers from
various disciplines. Further, through a meaningful dialogue, the Governor will also make the Assam
Government aware of public sentiments.Shri Amit Shah said that today the respect of our Prime Minister along with India has increased in the whole
world and 27 countries have honoured Prime Minister Modi with their highest civilian award which is a
matter of pride for India. He said that on one hand the whole world respects Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi. On the other hand, the leader of the main opposition party has started a negative politics of hatred and
contempt. Shri Shah said that the main opposition leaders have done the most despicable thing by using
abusive words for Prime Minister Modi’s late mother from the stage of a programme in Bihar. The Home
Minister strongly condemned this and said that the kind of irrational protest, negativity and hate politics by
the leader of the main opposition party will drag our public life into decline.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that since Shri Narendra Modi became the Chief
Minister of Gujarat, many leaders of the main opposition party have used abusive language for the Prime
Minister. He said that the main opposition party cannot win people’s appreciation by using such language.
Shri Shah said that the opposition has used abusive language against the Prime Minister in every election and
has faced defeat but still has not learnt anything. He said that elections are the soul of democracy in any
democratic nation and if infiltrators enter the voter list and pollute the elections, then no nation can remain
safe. He said that the people of the entire country are watching with shock and dismay the nefarious efforts
started by the main opposition party and their efforts will not get public support.
Shri Amit Shah said that what happened two days ago has crossed all limits. He said that Modi Ji's mother,
while living in a poor household, has brought up all her children to such a level that her son has become a
world leader. Shri Shah said that the people of India can never tolerate such abusive words against such a
person, and there cannot be further degradation in politics and public life. Shri Shah told the leader of the
main opposition party that he should apologize to the Prime Minister, his late mother and the people of the
country for this.
