Illegal Immigrants from every inch of country’s soil will be deported: Amit Shah

July 17: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday reiterated that his government will ensure that all illegal immigrants are identified and deported. Answering a question on the National Register of Citizens (NRC), Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that, The government will identify illegal immigrants staying in any part of the country and deport them as per international law.” He said that the BJP-led government at the Centre is committed to introduce National Register of Citizens (NRC) across the country.

Noting that the centre has received many representations for extending the NRC deadline in Assam, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said a petition signed by about 25 lakh applicants was submitted to the centre and the President demanding extension to correct anomalies. Currently, the NRC is being updated under the strict monitoring of the Supreme Court in Assam and July 31 has been set as a deadline for final publication of the registered data.

Mr. Shah said the BJP manifesto, on the basis of which his government had been elected, had clearly said the government would identify “illegal immigrants” and “infiltrators” from every “inch” of the country and “they will be deported in accordance to prevailing international laws”. His statement drew loud applause from the treasury benches.
