Kiren rijiju targets congress: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party. He shared a video of Doordarshan’s famous 90s TV show ‘Chanakya’, in which there is a debate in the Maurya Empire’s Rajya Sabha whether the refugees should be given shelter or not.

Supporters of ‘illegal intruders’ told Congress
Rijiju wrote with the video, ‘The Congress party remembered this scene after seeing the illegal intruders supporting. Can no longer repeat the mistake made 2000 years ago. We cannot include illegal migrants in our voter list. His statement has come in the background of the ongoing Voter List Amendment Campaign in Bihar and the criticism being done by the Congress.

What was in the video?
In this clip, a minister in Chanakya’s Rajya Sabha says – ‘To give shelter or not, depends on your human attitude.’ At the same time, the second minister warned that ‘Tomorrow these refugees will claim authority over Taxila’s land’. The irony is that the Mauryan Empire of Chanakya and Chandragupta Maurya is connected to ancient Bihar itself. At the same time, there is a fierce battle in today’s Bihar about the voter list.

Politics on BJP’s historical and cultural background
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has often been strengthening its political ideology through history, culture and ancient texts. In this case too, the party has taken a tough stand on illegal stay citing national security.

In West Bengal too, the BJP has been continuously accusing the Mamata Banerjee government of promoting illegal infiltration. Earlier this year, Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Mamta government of showing ‘mercy’ on the intruders and stopping the border – which is a threat to the security of the country.

What is CAA and India’s refugee policy?
In 2019, the BJP government passed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), under which the process of giving Indian citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan was easier. But there were large -scale protests against this law. Critics described it as discriminatory because Muslims were not included in it.

India has not yet signed the UN refugee conference of 1951 or its protocol of 1967. There is no national refugee law in India, so that in such cases, decisions depend on the discretion of the government completely.

India is also facing migrant policies in the world
On the other hand, in other countries including America, rigorous migrant policies have also affected India. During the tenure of Donald Trump, strict action on immigration in the US increased the risk of billions of dollars of remedies (migrant money) loss to India.
