Immigrants  

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers on Sunday (February 9, 2020) organised a rally at Azad Maidan in Mumbai demanding the ouster of illegal Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants from the State. Scores of workers of Raj Thackeray's party were seen raising slogans in favour of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC). Some of them also played musical instruments to send out their message.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the way the nation celebrated science, the space program and the strengths of scientists during Chandrayaan-2 will always remain etched in his memory. Union minister Amit Shah condemned the Congress for releasing a booklet that speaks against Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. As many as 445 trespassers have been detained by the Bangladesh authorities in the last two months while trying to return to Bangladesh.

Sources tell us that scores of Bangladeshi immigrants have begun to return to their country, fearing a strong-willed Narendra Modi government. The passage of CAA has sent home the message that, in spite of the orchestrated protests, the government will go ahead with its implementation, along with the implementation of NRC 

Political interference that deterred officials from eliminating the threat of radical Islamisation by way of sending illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, raids that have unearthed fake voter ID cards, all point to the involvement of those who seek to protect their vested interests by using immigrants and put national security at risk by opposing NRC

National Register of Citizens (NRC) seeks to identify illegal immigrants in the country. It was rolled out in Assam on the directions of the Supreme Court where 19 lakh people were excluded from the final list. Reacting to this, political strategist Prashant Kishor questioned the silence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Bhumidhar Burman, the revenue minister of Assam in 2009 had informed the state Assembly that two detention camps would be set up to house illegal immigrants. It is clear that the detention centres had come up in 2008-09 under the Tarun Gogoi government.

 

Whether involved in criminal activities or looking for livelihood, illegal immigrants will soon be in the fight for a Greater Bangladesh
 

Lok Sabha on 10th December passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019. The Bill seeks to grant Indian Citizenship to persons belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who have migrated to India after facing persecution on grounds of religion in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, if they fulfill conditions for grant of citizenship. Introducing the Bill, Union Minister for Home Affairs, Amit Shah said that while no where does this bill target India's minority community, but illegal immigrants would not be allowed to stay in the country at any cost.

The Rohingyas are sitting ducks for terrorist groups and India has no option but to deport them. We are already facing a huge crisis thanks to the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and in such a scenario, we cannot afford to accommodate more, an Intelligence Bureau official told MyNation.

Union home minister Amit Shah introduced the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 in the Lok Sabha. During this time, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that his party supports the Bill, but the voting rights should not be granted to the immigrants for 25 years.
 

Indian citizenship will be provided to the members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities facing religious persecution, putting an end to them being treated as illegal immigrants in the country through this Bill
            

 A Pakistani origin terrorist killed two people and injured three others. The incident has raised concerns about immigrants. India has been fighting its own battle with illegal immigration and what is worse is that there has been severe opposition to it.
