Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, announced a plan to deport up to 600,000 asylum seekers if his party wins the next election. The plan includes detaining illegal migrants in old military bases and offering them ₹2,500 to leave the country. Farage called illegal migration an "invasion" and warned of possible civil disorder. His party wants to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights. The plan also involves tracking illegal migrants using data from various government agencies. Farage’s hardline stance has gained support but faces criticism for its high cost and complexity. Labour and Conservative parties have not strongly opposed the plan. The announcement came during a press conference on 26 Aug 2025 amid rising concerns over migration in the UK. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 00:28 IST; source: link)
