New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday lashed out at Congress and INDIA bloc members for opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise,

\n\n

being conducted in several states to protect infiltrators. In a statement, PM Modi said that the Election Commission of India (ECI) through the SIR is trying to ensure that infiltrators are kept out of the electoral process but some were trying to protect them. Addressing a rally in Assam, PM Modi slammed Congress in the poll-bound state, alleging that it was becoming a party to the conspiracy that could have made the state a part of erstwhile East Pakistan and that freedom fighter Gopinath Bordoloi, who later became the first Chief Minister of Assam, had opposed the conspiracy.
