Lack of balance in immigration bill- Congress
Earlier, the Congress today opposed this bill related to immigration in the Lok Sabha and said that there is a lack of balance and there is a strong apprehension of misuse after the law. Party MP Manish Tiwari, while starting a discussion on ‘immigration and foreigners, 2025 Bills’, urged the government to send the bill to the Joint Committee of Parliament to introduce an overall and balanced bill. He said, “Why did we fight for freedom?” Was it just for change of power? No. It was for some values and principles. ”
‘Government is being given a lot of power through bill’
He said that when a bill is introduced, it should be ensured that it does not affect fundamental rights. Tiwari said that it is necessary to control the arrival of foreigners and prevent infiltration, but there is a need to balance the rights of citizens. He said that through this bill, a lot of power is being given to the government and it increases the possibility of misuse of the law. The Congress MP said, “If no one agreed with the ideology of the ruling party, can this law not be misused against him?” He said that it is unfortunate that such things have happened in the past and some people were prevented from coming to India at the time of the peasant movement, but later the same people were honored by calling the same people at the migrant Indian conference.
These old 4 laws will end
Explain that after the law of this bill, 4 old laws related to immigration and foreign nationals will also be abolished. Due to which the country will be pursued from illegal infiltrators. After the enactment of Immigration and Foreign Bill 2025, the government will end 4 laws. These include the Forense Act 1946, Passport Act 1920, Registration of Foreigners Act 1939 and Immigration Act 2000. The government will eliminate these four as soon as new laws are enacted.
What is in the new bill?
