Guwahati, September 07: Illegal migration from neighbouring Bangladesh into the country is a “national” and not a “community” issue, BJP leader Varun Gandhi said today.
“The problems arising out of illegal migration is a national issue and not a community issue”, Gandhi now on his maiden tour to Assam told PTI here.
Lack of development, unemployment and corruption were the other burning issues of the state which the political parties should address, he said.
“There are more than 25 lakh unemployed youths in Assam and the job of the rulers will be to ensure them jobs,” Gandhi said.
On the state Assembly election scheduled next year, the BJP leader said that the party should identify strong candidates and key areas in the state.
