In the midst of the ongoing debate on the deportation of Rohingyas from India, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed the state police to identify, verify and deport any 'foreign nationals' living in the state without a proper documentation.
The chief minister issued the directions at a meeting to review the law and order situation in the state on Thursday. The Chief Minister’s move is being considered in sync with the centre's tough stand of deporting the Rohingyas.
The chief minister also said that an intensive campaign should be conducted to check infiltration of suspicious elements from states sharing borders with Uttar Pradesh.
"A statewide survey of foreign nationals, who are staying illegally in the state should be conducted, and they should be sent out," an official Uttar Pradesh government statement said quoting Adityanath.
Adityanath asked police officials to make the state "crime-free" and "corruption-free" and directed them to crack down on criminals.
Supreme Court is hearing the plea against the deportation of Rohingya Muslims. While posting the matter, the court emphasized that the arguments should be made on law points only and not on any emotional aspects.
Illegal immigrants cannot claim fundamental rights which are otherwise available even to non-citizens, the Centre had told the Supreme Court in its fresh response to the PIL of two Rohingya refugees challenging their deportation to Myanmar.
The government filed its response to the rejoinder affidavit of Rohingya immigrants Mohammad Salimullah and Mohammad Shaqir, who have filed the PIL alleging they had faced persecution in Myanmar and were forced to flee.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked both the parties, the Centre and the two Rohingya Muslim refugees who have filed the petition, to compile all documents and international conventions for assisting the court.
The bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said it will hear in details various aspects arising out of the matter, including the government's stand that the petition was not justiciable in the court of law.
Senior advocate Fali S Nariman, appearing for the petitioner Rohingya refugees, opposed the government stand and said the petition under Article 32 was maintainable as the Constitution guaranteed individual rights.
