Former Uttar Pradesh DGP and BJP's Rajya Sabha member Brijlal has appealed to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to send back all “illegal Bangladeshi immigrants” staying in Lucknow and other parts of the state immediately to save the state from criminal and terror acts.

The MP blamed the state government department and officials for giving these Bangladeshi recognition by issuing them IDs in the name of sweepers and cleaners.

“Hundreds of Bangladeshis have entered the capital, Lucknow. Their children can be found selling balloons and pens at intersections, begging. Furthermore, municipal officials have issued them IDs and declared them residents of Lucknow. Rohingyas are living in huts here. The police are unable to verify them. They are a threat to the country. They are working for terrorist organisations under the guise of work,” he said in a post on his social media platform.
