Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday described illegal immigration as a serious threat to national security and said such individuals must be identified and sent back to their respective countries. He made these remarks while addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters following the election of Nitin Nabin as the national president of the party.
The prime minister also highlighted other major challenges facing the country. He referred to the issue of urban Naxals and warned about population imbalance. Modi said these problems were weakening national unity and required firm action.
Modi pointed out that many wealthy and influential nations which often project themselves as champions of democracy regularly identify and deport illegal immigrants. He said these actions are accepted globally and are not questioned. According to him no country in the world accepts illegal immigration and India should be no exception. He stressed that it is necessary to identify illegal immigrants and send them back to their countries of origin.
The prime minister asserted that India will never allow illegal immigrants to exploit citizens or misuse resources meant for the poor. He accused certain political parties of protecting illegal immigrants for votebank politics. Modi said such parties provide cover to illegal immigrants and mislead the public. He called for exposing these forces before the people.
He also spoke strongly about urban Naxals. Modi claimed that this group is expanding its influence not only within India but also globally. He alleged that people who occasionally speak positively about him or his government are targeted and silenced. According to Modi such individuals face humiliation and social isolation. He said this pattern reflects the working style of urban Naxals.
The prime minister recalled that for many years the BJP was treated as untouchable and isolated in public discourse. He said the country is now beginning to understand these tactics. Modi stated that urban Naxals continuously work to harm India. He said this challenge must be defeated through organisational strength and ideological clarity.
Modi concluded by urging party workers to remain united and alert. He said the fight against illegal immigration and urban Naxals is essential to protect national interests and ensure the welfare of ordinary citizens.
