Home Minister Amit Shah
Nowadays discussion about the new immigration bill in the country is in full swing. The bill, brought for the purpose of infiltrating and stopping illegal immigration, is named Immigration and Foreign Bill 2025 (immigration and foreign bill). Home Minister Amit Shah today replied to the discussion on the Immigration and Foreigners Bill in the Lok Sabha and said that minorities are the safest in India. He said, Parsi lives in our country with respect. The Jews who escaped from Israel are living safe in India. Those who have come to tortured from 6 countries nearby are living under the rule of Modi government. He further said, the culture that has been ours did not require law in this way. In all countries around the world, migrants who have gone out of India are hardly with any other country. Who comes in our country and for how long it comes, it has the right to know for the security of the country.
’72 million NRIs live around the world’
He further said, Mahatma Gandhi went to Africa and took the message of the entire country in Africa, forced the empire whose sun never set to kneel. Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Rishi Sunak, Kamala Harris and Sunita William are all examples of Indian origin and are displaying rich Indian traditions. India’s largest diaspora is from India. The tour of migrants should not be linked to the economic condition of the country. Today, there are one crore 72 lakh NRIs of India, such a big diaspora is not in the whole world. This bill has been brought to remove the concerns of such people.
Welcome to those who come to contribute- Shah
Amit Shah said, people who come to contribute to India’s system are welcome. But whether Rohingya or Bangladesh people disturb the peace of India, this law has come for them. This bill is a strong policy to make the country aware of the security of the country.
Lack of balance in immigration bill- Congress
Earlier, the Congress today opposed this bill related to immigration in the Lok Sabha and said that there is a lack of balance and there is a strong apprehension of misuse after the law. Party MP Manish Tiwari, while starting a discussion on ‘immigration and foreigners, 2025 Bills’, urged the government to send the bill to the Joint Committee of Parliament to introduce an overall and balanced bill. He said, “Why did we fight for freedom?” Was it just for change of power? No. It was for some values and principles. ”
‘Government is being given a lot of power through bill’
He said that when a bill is introduced, it should be ensured that it does not affect fundamental rights. Tiwari said that it is necessary to control the arrival of foreigners and prevent infiltration, but there is a need to balance the rights of citizens. He said that through this bill, a lot of power is being given to the government and it increases the possibility of misuse of the law. The Congress MP said, “If no one has agreed with the ideology of the ruling party, then this law cannot be misused against him?” He said that it is unfortunate that there have been such talk in the past and some people were prevented from coming to India at the time of the peasant movement, but later the same people were honored by calling the same people at the Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan.
