UK to add India to 'safe states' list: What does it mean
India is expected to be added to the UK's list of "safe states", which would prevent those who illegally travel from seeking asylum in Britain. The draft legislation presented in the House of Commons includes India and Georgia as countries to be added to the list. The move aims to strengthen the UK's immigration system and deter unfounded protection claims. The proposal will undergo parliamentary scrutiny before it is implemented. PM Sunak had made stopping of small boats of asylum seekers from landing on the country's shores one of the five key priorities of his leadership.
