Editorial Perspectives  

• India also needs to deport Bangladeshi and Rohingya illegal migrants from the country for the same reason. If Pakistan can do it, why not India ?

• If Islamic countries do not want to give shelter to the Muslims of the neighbouring countries, why should Hindu-Majority India give shelter to other non-Hindus ?
