Agartala: The VHP on Wednesday demanded amendment of the Foreign Citizen Act so that death sentence to illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh can be awarded and also to check infiltration and deport them.

Addressing a press conference, VHP President Pravin Togadia said it has adopted a resolution to take time-bound action plan against illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh and immediately deport them from the country to make "Hindus more prosperous, protected and honoured".
