The Parliament approved the Immigration and Foreigners Bill as the Rajya Sabha gave its nod on Wednesday, April 2.
The bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on March 28, with Home Minister Amit Shah asserting that while India welcomes individuals coming for business, education, and investment, those posing a threat to national security will face stringent action.
During the debate in Lok Sabha, Shah had emphasised the bill is crucial for enhancing national security, boosting the economy, and promoting India’s global standing in education. He noted that it will also help universities gain international recognition and strengthen the manufacturing and trade sectors.
