West Bengal CM Outlines Cautious Immigrant Identification and Expedited CAA Processing
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari emphasized a cautious approach to identifying and deporting illegal immigrants to avoid errors like the previous regime's deportation of an Indian citizen. The government plans to expedite Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) certificate processing with Union Home Ministry approval, aiming to protect persecuted religious minorities while denying benefits to infiltrators. Assurances were given to refugees and the Matua community regarding no police harassment, with census self-enumeration data to remain confidential and secure.
