Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, emphasized the need to halt cross-border infiltration as a means to secure peace in West Bengal. He called upon the state's populace to vote for change come the 2026 assembly elections, asserting that only then can peace be ensured.

Shah was speaking at the inauguration of a new passenger terminal and a cargo gate, 'Maitri Dwar', at the Petrapole land port, bordering Bangladesh. He underscored Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dedication to the development of West Bengal, criticizing the current ruling government over issues of corruption.
