The crackdown comes after Delhi Lieutenant Governor has directed the Chief Secretary and the Commissioner of Police to initiate a two-month special drive against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the city. According to police sources, more than 1,000 illegal immigrants have already been identified across Delhi.
Special teams comprising local police and foreign cell officials used to do door-to-door verifications, scrutinizing documents, and interrogating to identify those who live here illegally.
BJP Social Media in-charge Amit Malviya charged Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with encouraging illegal immigration. He wrote, “Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP is actively facilitating illegal immigration of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals in Delhi through a well-organized network. To divert attention from this anti-national operation, he falsely accused the BJP of canceling voter cards of Poorvanchalis. Now, both his tactics and lies have been thoroughly exposed.”
