Citing that India isn’t a ‘Dharamshala’ where illegal immigrants can come and settle down, Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah on Saturday said that only Indians had the right to the country’s resources.
Calling illegal immigration a threat to the country, Shah said the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a way to solve the basic problems of the country and should not be connected to the BJP.
“This country is not a Dharamshala (charitable shelter home) that anyone can come and settle down here,” Shah said while speaking at the Jagran Forum organised by the Dainik Jagran media group.
He added, “NRC should not be seen by connecting it with the BJP only. It is a way to solve the country’s basic problems. How is it possible that anyone can come and settle down here? The country cannot run like this. Those who are its citizens should stay here only and they only have the right to the resources of this country.”
