Explanation:

An illegal migrant cannot acquire the Citizenship of India.

The Citizenship Act, 1955, prescribes three ways of losing citizenship viz. renunciation, termination and deprivation. If a citizen has, within five years after registration or naturalisation, been imprisoned in any country for two years, his citizenship is compulsorily terminated by the Central Government.
