Petition seeking expulsion of 5 crore illegal immigrants from the country pending in the Supreme Court for five years

None of the Chief Secretaries of the States in the country has commented on this petition !

New Delhi – A petition seeking the expulsion of 5 crore illegal immigrants from the country has been pending in the Supreme Court since 2017. The SC had issued notices to the Union Home Ministry and the Chief Secretaries of all the States in the country seeking their response to the petition, but no reply has been received so far. ‘Though bitter, it is 100% true’, Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay tweeted expressing his anger.

5 करोड़ घुसपैठियों को निकालने की मांग वाली PIL सुप्रीम कोर्ट में 2017 से लंबित है

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने @HMOIndia के अतिरिक्त सभी राज्यों के मुख्य सचिव से जबाब मांगा है लेकिन आजतक किसी ने जबाब नहीं दिया

कड़वा तो है लेकिन शतप्रतिशत सत्य है

Editorial comments

• It is a shame for the country that a petition has to be filed to expel crores of illegal immigrants from the country !
• It is serious that despite Supreme Court issuing a notice to the Administration, no reply has been given. This is evident not only regarding this petition but also in several other petitions. This shows how much administrative officers value the Supreme Court. Now the SC itself needs to take strict action against such administrative officers !
• The Administration’s silence on such a sensitive issue of national security is unacceptable. Will the issues of the general public ever get addressed in time when such high-priority issues are being kept pending for years ?
