Myanmar: On Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Centre will soon fence the India-Myanmar border and will protect it like that of Bangladesh stating that the Centre is rethinking the free-movement facility with Myanmar.
He was addressing the passing out parade of the first batch of the five newly constituted Assam Police Commando battalions. With this announcement, the Free Movement Regime (FMR), which allows people residing close to the India-Myanmar border to venture 16 km into each other’s territory without a visa, will end soon.
He said,”The India-Myanmar border will be protected like the Bangladesh border… The Government of India will stop the free movement with Myanmar.” While speaking at the passing out parade of Assam Police commandos in Guwahati, Amit Shah said, “India’s border with Myanmar will soon be protected like the border with Bangladesh”.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “I want to tell my friends in Assam that the Narendra Modi government has decided to fence India’s open border along with Myanmar just like we have fenced the country’s border along with Bangladesh.” 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.
He added,”The government is also reconsidering India’s Free Movement Regime (FMG) agreement with Myanmar and will soon end the free movement into India”. 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, adding that the ‘pran pratishthan’ ceremony is happening at a time when the country is on its way to becoming a superpower.
