Illegal Immigrants, Urban Naxals Threat to National Security: PM

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday flagged illegal immigration as a major threat to national security and suggested that such people should be identified and sent back to their home countries. Addressing a meeting at the BJP headquarters after 45-year-old Nitin Nabin was announced as the party’s national president, the chief minister also cited urban Naxals and population imbalance as major challenges before the nation.

Modi said some rich and powerful nations, who consider themselves masters of the world, detect and deport illegal immigrants and no one questions these actions.

The Prime Minister said, “It is known that these countries wave the flag of democracy and see themselves as the masters of the world. No one around the world accepts illegal immigrants. They need to be identified and sent back to their countries.” he said.

“India will never allow illegal immigrants to plunder its people and services of the poor,” Modi said.

The Prime Minister accused some political parties of protecting and providing protection to illegal immigrants in the name of vote bank politics. “We must unmask them and expose them publicly.

“Another major challenge is that of urban Naxals who are expanding their influence globally,” Modi said.

He claimed that people who occasionally spoke positively about him or the government were targeted and silenced.

“Even once or twice a year, if they tweet something positive about Modi, say something positive on television or write something positive in a newspaper, some journalists humiliate them so much that they are followed and made untouchable… This is the style of urban Naxals,” the Prime Minister said. he said.

Modi said that for years the BJP was isolated and treated as untouchables, but claimed that the country now recognizes these tactics.

“Urban Naxals are constantly working to harm India. We must defeat this nexus with the strength of our organization and ideology,” the Prime Minister said.
