Amit Shah has effectively sealed all borders with the help of the BJP CMs is not accurate. Ongoing calls to seal the Bengal border and lack of fencing since 2014.
Why we say that›
Amit Shah's anti-terror record framed as reason opposition targets him, but sealing facts false and motive unproven.
Multiple claims on border sealing are contradicted by reports of unfenced sections and repeated calls for action. The motive that opposition targets Shah specifically because of these successes rests on no evidence. Unverified attack numbers and elimination dates further weaken the argument.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
