Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that infiltration was a national issue and the Opposition must not grant political patronage to infiltrators. Targeting the Opposition, the Union minister said anyone who fails to understand the difference between refugees and infiltrators is "deceiving themselves, their very souls."

Addressing an event organised by Dainik Jagran, Shah, targeting West Bengal, said "some" state governments have started providing shelter to infiltrators since they have started seeing a vote bank in them. "I want to tell all political parties: Don't link the issue of infiltration, demographics, and SIR to politics. A time will come when even you won't be spared. This isn't a political issue; it's a national issue," the Union home minister said.
