UK safe states: India to be added to UK safe states list, ruling out asylum rights for illegal migrants from the country
The UK government has proposed to add India to an expanded list of safe states, aiming to strengthen the country's immigration system and prevent abuse by people making unfounded protection claims. The move is in line with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's pledge to "stop the boats" of migrants landing on the country's shores illegally after making precarious journeys across the English Channel.
