Amit Shah Shah's big remark: We will follow detect, delete and deport process for infiltrators
Amit Shah vows to remove illegal voters via a 'detect, delete, and deport' strategy amid claims that infiltration has caused up to 70% Muslim population growth in some border districts.
- On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Centre will follow a policy of detect, delete and deport to deal with infiltrators, announcing it during a lecture honoring Narendra Mohan.
- On June 24th, the Election Commission of India commenced the Special Intensive Revision, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's August 15 Red Fort announcement of a high-powered demographic mission ahead of Bihar's election starting November 6 with results on November 14.
- Using regional figures, Shah cited that Assam's Muslim decadal growth was 29.6 and districts in West Bengal and border areas reached 40 and 70 percent respectively, according to the 2011 census.
- The final voter list released on September 30 showed electors fell from 7.89 crore to 7.42 crore after over 65 lakh draft deletions and 3.66 lakh final removals, while Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said some deletions included identified foreigners but no central tally exists.
- In the run-up to the November 6 election, the campaign emphasised infiltration as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah framed Bihar as a sieve for 'infiltrators', risking disenfranchisement of poor, Dalit and minority voters, Opposition parties warn.
