Shoot Bangladeshi, Rohingya immigrants who won’t leave

A politician from India’s governing party has provoked outrage after he called for Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants to leave India or be killed, reports independent.co.uk. 
‘If these Rohingyas and Bangladeshi illegal immigrants do not leave India respectfully, then they should be shot and eliminated,’ said Raja Singh, a Bharatiya Janta Party member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly for an area of Hyderabad. 
His comments were reported by the ANI news agency. 
Singh was speaking after Narendra Modi’s government caused uproar over the exclusion of 40 million people from a draft version of the controversial National Citizen Register in Assam.
The register, which is a list of all legal citizens in the state, is being updated for the first time since 1951 and is being used to identify cases of illegal immigration into Assam.
Assam is the only state in India with such a register.
However, India’s Supreme Court has ordered the government not to take any coercive action against those people unable to provide documentation to prove their citizenship.
Singh has previously made inflammatory remarks about immigration and incidents of lynching, and once called Hyderabad’s old city ‘a mini Pakistan’.
In the run up to the 2014 election, Modi said Bangladeshis would be deported if he came to power.
