The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up the Assam Government for not being sincere enough in deporting illegal migrants from the State, observing the situation has gone too far and become a joke.
The apex court gave vent to its ire while dealing with the functioning of the foreigners tribunals and the problem of “external aggression” faced by the state due to influx of illegal migrants. A Bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna also questioned the Assam Government whether the foreigners tribunals and the law-enforcing authorities are functioning properly.
