Will protect Myanmar border like that of Bangladesh: Amit Shah
Guwahati(PTI): Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the government will stop the free movement of people at the Myanmar border and will protect it like that of Bangladesh.
Addressing the passing out parade of the first batch of the five newly-constituted Assam Police Commando battalions, he said the Centre is rethinking the free-movement facility with Myanmar.
"The India-Myanmar border will be protected like the Bangladesh border... The Government of India will stop the free movement with Myanmar," he said. Shah said there has been a huge change in the law and order of the country under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi during the last 10 years.
Attacking the Congress, he alleged that people had to pay bribes to get government jobs during its tenure, and maintained that not a single penny has to be paid for employment under the BJP rule.
On the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, Shah said that Lord Ram would return home after 550 "disrespectful" years.
"It's a matter of pride for entire India," he said, noting that it was happening at a time when the country was on course to become a superpower.

'Minor incidents' do happen in such a big event: UP minister on Maha Kumbh stampede
Hardoi (UP) (PTI): Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Nishad on Wednesday expressed grief over the stampede in Mahakumbh Nagar and said "minor incidents" do happen in "such a big event".
Nishad is the chief of the Nishad party and fisheries minister in the Yogi Adityanath government.
"In such a big event and when there is such a huge crowd, minor incidents do happen," he said while calling it sad.
He said Chief Minister Adityanath is looking into this matter. One should take a bath wherever one finds space and one should not believe in rumours, he added.
Asked about Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's allegation of mismanagement in Maha Kumbh, he said, he would not want to comment on it.
"The arrangements that have been made and the crowd that is there will not be anywhere else in the world. Where such big arrangements are made and such a huge crowd gathers, some small incidents take place somewhere or the other," he said.
"This incident is sad for us and I want this not to happen in the future. We people and the entire government are alert," he said.
The stampede took place in Mahakumbh Nagar in which 30 people died and 60 suffered injuries.
