India on Thursday said that it has requested the Bangladesh government to verify the nationality of over 2300 illegal immigrants, who are believed to be from the neighbouring nation in order for them to be deported.
While addressing a media briefing, the spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal asserted that, "We have asked the Bangladeshi side to verify their nationality. We have a pending list of 2,369 people who are required to be deported.바카라
"Foreigners staying in India illegally, whether they happen to be Bangladeshi nationals or any other national, will be dealt with as per law. We have a large number of Bangladeshi nationals here who are required to be deported,바카라 he added further.
The spokesperson also claimed that several of these immigrants have been pending verification since 2020. 바카라Many of them have actually completed their jail sentences, and in many cases, the nationality verification is pending since 2020. So almost five years have gone by. We would urge the Bangladeshi side to expedite the verification process so that people who are required to be deported can be sent back to Bangladesh,바카라 he said.
According to an official, the Delhi police has detained 121 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants with their deportation process being initiated through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), as reported by PTI.
The push for deportation has intensified amid worsening ties between both nations after deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India due to anti-government protests. The relations took a further downturn after the Muhammad Yunus government failed to protect minority attacks, especially against Hindus in the country.
