Illegal Immigrants and Urban Naxals Threat to National Security, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday flagged illegal immigration as a major threat to national security, asserting that such people must be identified and sent back to their respective countries.

The prime minister, addressing a gathering at the BJP headquarters after 45-year-old Nitin Nabin was declared elected



as the national president of the party, also cited urban Naxals and population imbalance as significant challenges before the nation.

Modi said some wealthy and powerful nations, who consider themselves lords of the world, too, were identifying and deporting illegal immigrants, and nobody was questioning their actions.
