New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah Friday directed the Delhi Police to take strict action against the networks that help illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas entering India, saying it is an issue of national security and should be dealt with strictly.
Chairing a meeting to review the national capital’s law-and-order situation, he said strict action should also be taken against police stations and sub-divisions that consistently perform poorly.
Shah said it should be the Delhi Police’s priority to eliminate interstate gangs in the city ruthlessly. Action must be taken with “top to bottom and bottom to top approach” in narcotics cases, and such drug networks should be dismantled, he said.
“Strict action should be taken against the entire network that helps Bangladeshi and Rohingya intruders enter the country, get their documents made and facilitate their stay here. The issue of illegal intruders is also related to national security, and it should be dealt with strictly. They should be identified and deported,” he told the meeting.
The meeting was also attended by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Delhi’s Home Minister Ashish Sood, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and other senior officials.
