India, Dec. 20 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the Election Commission of India started the exercise of 'Special Intensive Revision' (SIR) to ensure that "infiltrators" are kept out of electoral process while some 'deshdrohis' (traitors) are trying to protect them.

PM Modi made the remarks while addressing a rally in Assam's Guwahati.

Taking a dig at the Opposition, Modi also said that he is "correcting" Congress' mistakes of "ignoring Assam and Northeast for decades".
