Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday, said that peace in West Bengal can only be achieved when cross-border infiltration from Bangladesh is stopped. He claimed that if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal in 2026, this illegal immigration will be stopped.

When there is no scope for the legal movement of people across the border, illegal modes of movement arise, which impacts the peace of the country. I urge the people of Bengal to bring in change in 2026, and we will stop infiltration, and peace will come,” he said.
