Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday (March 7, 2026) said the Centre is committed to driving out every “intruder” from the country, asserting that the process would extend “from Kedarnath to Kanyakumari”.
Addressing a public gathering in Haridwar to mark four years of the Uttarakhand Government, Mr. Shah praised Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for introducing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the State and removing encroachments from nearly 10,000 acres of government land.
“Pushkar Singh Dhami became the first Chief Minister to bring the UCC in the State. Under the UCC, citizens, regardless of their religion, will be subject to the same law. The UCC will help stop the unnatural increase in demographics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to form a high-powered committee to address the demographic changes. That committee will begin its work within a few days. From Kedarnath to Kanyakumari, we will work to expel every single intruder out of the country. Opposition leaders can protest as much as they want,” he added.
Attacking Opposition parties for protesting against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Mr. Shah said the names of those who are not Indian citizens must be removed from the voter list, as a clean electoral roll is essential for safeguarding democracy.
