Why Swamy cited Hungary?
To put it in context, Hungary's right-wing PM Victor Orban has pursued a hardline immigration policy that aims to restrict immigration from predominantly Muslim countries in Middle East and rth Africa. He has been vocally Islamophobic and has challenged European Union, of which Hungary is a part of, on immigration issue. Orban recently put forward a new government policy that favours immigration of workers from Eastern and Sourn European countries which are predominantly Christian.
