Ajmal dares PM to deport illegal immigrants & seal Indo-Bangla boder

GUWAHATI: AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal today taking a jibe at prime minister Narendra Modi urged him to discuss the deportation of illegal immigrants and seal the India-Bangladesh border with his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina.

Modi reached Bangladesh earlier today to attend the celebration of that country's 50th year of liberation from Pakistan and the centenary year of its founder Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, Premier Sheikh Hasina's father.

"I wish a pleasant stay of PM Modi ji in Bangladesh.I w’d like to request him to discuss with Sheikh Hasina on the issues of deportation of illegal immigrants and the Indo-Bangla border sealing to stop further infiltration," Ajmal wrote in a tweet, affixing a picture of Mr. Modi being welcomed by PM Hasina at the airport.

This comes after the apparent failure of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam he Registrar General of India (RGI) has asked the Assam government to down shutters on the National Register of Citizens (NRC) update office and relocate it to a government building after March 31.

The BJP, meanwhile, continues its attacks on Ajmal as the facilitator of illegal immigration in the state.

The BJP is fighting to retain power in Assam, a state that has seen Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Shah paying frequent visits in recent weeks. It goes to polls in three phases from March 27 to April 6.

Ajmal's AIUDF, in the meantime, has partnered with the Congress in its bid to upset the saffron party in the elections.

It needs mention here that Prime Minister Narendra Modi today flagged off his first foreign tour since India declared the Covid-19 lockdown a year ago.

He will be in Bangladesh today and tomorrow to attend the celebration of that country's 50th year of liberation from Pakistan.

The two countries are also celebrating 50 years of the establishment of diplomatic ties.

Paying tributes at the National Martyr's Memorial in Savar, he tweeted: "The courage of those who took part in the Liberation War of Bangladesh motivates many."
