High-Power Demography Mission to Safeguard India’s Social Balance
Addressing the nation from Delhi’s iconic Red Fort on the 79th Independence Day, Modi announced the launch of a High-Power Demography Mission to tackle illegal immigration and its potential impact on the country’s security, economy, and cultural identity.
“Infiltrators threaten our jobs, target our women, and disrupt our social fabric,” he said in his 12th consecutive Independence Day speech — and his second since winning a third term. “Unchecked demographic changes are not merely a social concern — they are a direct threat to national security.”
The Prime Minister accused infiltrators of seizing livelihoods meant for Indian youth, misleading tribal communities, and illegally occupying their lands. “No nation can hand over its future to illegal immigrants. How can India?” he asked, drawing a firm line on the issue.
The newly approved mission is expected to focus on tightening border security, preventing unlawful entry, and safeguarding the cultural and social identity of vulnerable regions.

Looking ahead to the festive season, the Prime Minister also promised next-generation GST reforms by Diwali to lower taxes on essential goods and ease financial pressures on small businesses and MSMEs. “Over the past eight years, we have simplified GST. Now, the time has come for an upgrade,” he said.
