India plans to expel all illegals

Says home minister Amit Shah

India's Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday hinted that after Assam, the government's plan to locate and weed out illegal immigrants will be taken across the country.
Amid a huge discontent in Assam over the citizens' registry, in which 19 lakh people have
been left out, the minister said on Sunday that the centre will throw "every single illegal immigrant" out of the country.
“All states are worried about the NRC the national register of citizens)," Shah said yesterday during his two-day visit to the northeast.
"Assam thinks NRC was wrong, smaller states felt there would be a spill over. Let me assure, not only Assam, we want the entire country to be cleansed of illegal migrants. We already have a plan ready. We will bring all states into confidence," he said.
Since the final NRC list was released, a section of BJP leaders in the state had expressed disappointment at the exclusion of a chunk of Bengali Hindus — who constitute 18 percent of Assam's population and
a majority of the party's vote bank. Party MIA Silditya Dev had even alleged that the NRC was part of a "conspiracy to keep Hindus out and help Muslims".
Shah yesterday said the NRC was "a problem". "A lot of people think many people were left out of NRC. We want to assure that no illegal migrants will be able to stay in Assam and go to another state. We want the country to be rid of illegal migrants," he said, assuring states like Meghalaya that have expressed concern about illegal migrants from Assam settling in their state.
At a North Eastern Council meeting in Guwahati on Sunday, Shah said, "I want to clearly say that not a single illegal migrant will be allowed to stay in the country by the Government of India. That is our commitment".
The home minister has also assured that the Centre had "no plan
to abrogate the Article 371” of the constitution, which gives north-east its special status.
"Let me clarify this. (Articles) 370 and 371 has no relation. The citizenship bill will not hurt (Article) 371, the government of India will ensure it. We will ensure it does not infringe our tribal laws,” he said yesterday, referring to the government's plan to bring a bill that will grant Indian citizenship to members of six minority communities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan even if they do not have valid documents.
The prospect of this that worried the northeastern states that want to keep their tribal culture free of outside influences.
The government's move to end special status of Jammu and Kashmir has left states like Nagaland - which also enjoys special status under the Article 371 of the constitution -concerned.
