Infiltrators will be made to leave the country and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will be implemented for the purpose, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday.
The BJP chief made the announcement at a campaign rally here for the October 21 Maharashtra Assembly elections.
“Before we come to ask for votes in 2024 (General elections), let me assure you that the BJP Government will make sure every infiltrator is thrown out of the country,” Shah said.
“We will throw out everyone residing illegally in our country. Congress and NCP have opposed NRC as such residents form a vote bank for these opposition parties,” Shah said.
