"A senior police official of the district would be the head of the Task Force, and officers-in-charge of various police stations of the concerned district would be the members.'
The Tripura government's actions followed the Union Ministry of
Home Affairs circular
, directing all states and Union Territories across the country to verify the credentials of persons suspected to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. If the documents of the foreign citizens are found to be fake or illegally procured, they would face deportation, the MHA circular had said.
The ruling BJP ally
Tipra Motha Party
(TMP) has been organising different types of agitation for the past two months, demanding the push-back of "illegal migrants" from Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The tribal past party has demanded strict implementation of the orders from the MHA concerning the identification, detention, and deportation of illegal migrants.
TMP senior leader and party's legislator
Ranjit Debbarma
noted that the BJP-ruled states like Assam and Gujarat had taken firm steps against infiltrators, but the Tripura government had not taken adequate steps in this regard.
The party's senior leader and Forest and Environment Minister
Animesh Debbama
had said that no infiltrators would be allowed to stay in Tripura.
Debbama said that a nine-member delegation of the party led by Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma would meet the
Election Commission of India
next week to raise several key issues related to the
electoral roll preparation
in Tripura.
He said, "A major demand would be for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Tripura, similar to the process recently carried out in Bihar to identify the fake voters and infiltrators.'
