Nearly, 40.07 lakh people were left out of the final draft was released on July 30. After Assam, the BJP chief had suggested to throw out illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
“Opposition parties such as Congress, TRS, MIM, Communist parties and BSP are resisting removal of illegal immigrants from Assam. They made an issue when 40 lakh people were identified in the draft list in Assam. The BJP government will go ahead and complete the process,” Shah said. Illegal immigrants from countries like Bangladesh, not only pose a security threat, but also take away jobs of Indian citizens, he said.“There are illegal Bangladeshi migrants in Hyderabad and Mahbubnagar districts. TRS chief KCR should speak whether they should be deported after cancellation of their citizenship,” he said, reported TOI.
