BJP's West Bengal unit chief Dilip Ghosh said on Sunday that the government is committed to implementing the proposed nationwide NRC and will send back 1 crore Bangladeshi Muslims living in the state illegally.
Addressing a rally in the North 24 Parganas district, Ghosh said that those opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are anti-Bengali and against the idea of India.
He said 1 crore illegal Muslims in the state are "thriving" on the government's Rs 2 per kg subsidised rice.
"We will send them back," he announced.
"These illegal Bangladeshi Muslims are involved in arsons across the state," Ghosh added
