NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court judgment upholding the constitutional validity of Section 6A of the Citizenship Act related to grant of Indian citizenship to Bangladeshi migrants in Assam is set to give a boost to BJP 's pitch against infiltrators, a key plank in the Jharkhand assembly polls .
The party hailed the SC verdict as "historic" and said action would be taken against "largescale" illegal immigration into Assam.
"Today, the Supreme Court has delivered a very historic verdict on the constitutional validity of Section 6A of the Citizenship Act. We welcome this judgment," senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
In Jharkhand, the party has pledged to implement National Register of Citizens if voted back to office to contain illegal immigrants, identify those who have settled and deport them.
It has used the concern about alleged infiltration as one of its key planks from the beginning of the campaign and has since scaled up the attack on the JMM-Congress-RJD combine for ignoring demographic change in the Santhal Pargana region because of vote bank considerations.
