Highlighting the significance of the day, the Home Minister said that on this day in 1965, CRPF personnel displayed exceptional courage while defending the country. "On this day in 1965, the fearless warriors of CRPF stood like an unbreakable wall at Sardar Post in the Rann of Kutch, crushing the enemy's advances and writing a glorious chapter of bravery in India's history," Shah stated. Paying homage to the martyrs, he added, "Heartfelt tributes to the martyrs who laid down their lives for the honour and security of the nation."

Addressing election rallies on the last day of the campaign for the assembly polls in Assam, Amit Shah said that after the UCC is implemented in the state, no one will have permission to marry four times.
Attacks on Opposition over Infiltrators
He attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a rally in Cachar and said BJP will throw out every single infiltrator from the country. "We are striking the names of infiltrators from the voter list. Mamata Didi and Rahul Baba are having a stomachache. Rahul Baba, you used to oppose CAA, you were opposing giving voting rights to the refugee Bengali brothers and sisters who have come here, but why are you welcoming the infiltrators? Because they are their vote bank... Let Mamata Banerjee cry, let Rahul Baba beat his chest, but BJP will throw out every single infiltrator from this country," he said.
He also addressed a rally in Hailakandi and sought the support of the people to form a government again. Voting for the 126-seat Assam Assembly is currently underway, and the votes will be counted on May 4. (ANI)
