No legal action if infiltrators go back on their own: Amit Shah

The Union government formed a high-level committee and said voluntary returnees will face no legal action as it moves to identify and deport infiltrators.

  • On Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that illegal infiltrators have started returning voluntarily to their countries of origin since the Bharatiya Janata Party government took power in West Bengal.
  • Shah contrasted the current situation with the previous administration under Mamata Banerjee, asserting that the BJP-led government headed by West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari prioritizes border security.
  • Within 45 days of taking power, the West Bengal government provided 600 hectares of land to the Border Security Force for fencing and established new detention centers to manage migration.
  • Officials confirmed that voluntary returnees will not face legal action, with the government offering assistance to facilitate departure before formal identification campaigns begin.
  • Political confrontation between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress is expected to rise, as the government constituted a high-level committee to investigate demographic changes along the border.
