The Lok Sabha passed the Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025, with Home Minister Amit Shah stating, "India is not a dharamshala." He warned against illegal infiltrators, emphasizing national security. The bill introduces strict penalties, including up to 7 years in jail and ₹10 lakh fines for using forged documents. Shah accused Trinamool of delaying border fencing, saying, "450 km of fencing remains incomplete due to West Bengal’s inaction." He assured that "foreigners visiting for education, business, or tourism are welcome, but threats will be dealt with." The bill replaces four existing laws for better immigration control.
