|New Delhi 16November2024
NEW DELHI: Delhi L-G VK Saxena on Friday issued directions to police commissioner to conduct a month-long special drive to identify illegal immigrants in the city and take further action in coordination with central agencies.

Saxena also directed the civic agencies - MCD and NDMC and chief secretary of Delhi to be on "alert" as these illegal immigrants may approach them to get fake citizenship and election identity cards.
The move comes as Delhi is drawing closer to assembly polls due in February next year. The BJP leaders in Delhi have been accusing the ruling AAP for patronizing the Rohingyas and Bangladeshi living illegally in the city.
Reacting to the L-G's remarks on illegal immigrants, the Delhi government (AAP) said, "The BJP merely uses the issue of illegal immigrants for political gains. A thorough investigation should be launched into how illegal immigrants are entering our country in the first place. For this, the direct responsibility lies with Amit Shah and the Union Home Ministry."
