Guwahati | Wednesday | 20th February, 2019

Summary:

In his response, the solicitor general submitted that 938 people are lodged in six detention centres in Assam and 823 of them have been declared foreigners by tribunals.The court said the tribunals have declared 52,000 people as foreigners and the Centre has deported only 166. You follow the policy of pushing them from one place and they come back from another place. If you have to send them to the country of origin, you cannot allow them to remain free. “Does this mean they are foreigners?” it asked. If the country of origin does not take them back that is also a problem..
