nepalese citizen??
by Nandini Venkat on Mar 07, 2007 10:29 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I do not understand! I thought the basic requirement to contest in Parliamentary elections is to be a citizen of India. How did he manage to contest in three elections? Does the article actually mean that he was a former citizen of Nepal and then became a citizen of India?

Well said. There are lakhs of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants in the name of refugees who have come to India and taken over many jobs, ration cards and even Indian passports.
Whenever this is brought up in the parliament, instead of looking at this as a illegal-immigration issue, all %u2018secular%u2019 parties like congress make this a muslim-minority issue!

Wake up Indians, our India being taken over by everyone around us. Subsidized food (through ration cards), government schemes for the poor, educational subsidies, voting rights, even parliament seats are going to foreigners rather than being passed on to Indian citizens. Next Judges, civil servants, police officers and ministers will be from our neighboring countries. We will be proxy-ruled by non-Indians.

Sorry I was a little slow in understanding! Perhaps too shocked to believe what I was reading in the first place!
