Will identify, deport illegal immigrants as per international law: Amit Shah

New Delhi: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the government will identify all illegal immigrants residing in the country and deport them as per the international law.

"We will identify all the illegal immigrants and infiltrators living on every inch of this country and deport them as per the international law," the BJP leader said in the Rajya Sabha.

Shah's statement in the Upper House comes a day after the Centre said that it has adopted a multi-pronged approach to ensure effective surveillance and domination of international borders to check infiltration of illegal immigrants.
