How the network of illegals is spreading south. Does MMS/SM Krishna have any plans to deal with problem or are we going to do a pappi jhappi with these foreigners as well ?

ISI, DGFI plan to bleed India using Bangladeshi migrants

The issue of illegal immigration from Bangladesh is assuming worrying proportions by the day. The arrest of a couple of illegal immigrants travelling to Kerala on fake identification cards and documentation from a train from Karnataka -- the police were believed to have been helped by the members of BJP's students' union Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad -- has further fuelled the debate. While Assam witnessed riots over the issue, the fact remains that many of these illegal immigrants are gradually making their way into other parts of the country, especially West Bengal, Kerala and coastal Karnataka.

A large part of the problem lies in the easy access to fake documents. According to police officials, many Bangladeshis are here in search of a livelihood, but then there are many who indulge in illegal activities like smuggling drugs and sometimes weapons.They come into the country through West Bengal and gradually move to other parts of the country. While touts and middlemen help them with documents, there are others who take advantage of their poverty and lure them to carry out illegal activities.

The Intelligence Bureau points out that the problem emanated from a devious agenda to create a Greater East Pakistan/Bangladesh. The first target for Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence and Bangladesh's Directorate General of Forces Intelligence were the north-eastern states. Late Pakistan Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in his book, said: "It would be wrong to think that Kashmir is the only dispute that divides India and Pakistan, though undoubtedly the most significant. One at least is nearly as important as the Kashmir dispute, that of Assam and some districts of India adjacent to East Pakistan. To these Pakistan has very good claims."

Late Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in his book, Eastern Pakistan: Its Population and Economics, says, "Because Eastern Pakistan must have sufficient land for its expansion and because Assam has abundant forests and mineral resources, coal, petroleum etc, Eastern Pakistan must include Assam to be financially and economically strong".

It is very clear from the records of the Intelligence Bureau that both the ISI and the DGFI had a specific role to play in the issue of illegal immigration. They initiated their campaign at Assam and have now moved in to other states as well.While in Assam they had a specific agenda of creating a Greater East Pakistan, today the issue has larger connotations. They (ISI and DGFI) are aware that large scale migration will cause a great deal of duress not only to security agencies, but there is bound to be conflict between the locals and these people as the latter would snatch their livelihood by offering to work for a very low price.

While dealing with issue, former Assam Governor S K Sinha said that secular parties and minorities do not see any danger from illegal migration. They believe that most of the so-called migrants are Bengali-speaking Indian Muslims and that the issue had been unnecessarily blown out of proportion. They fear that in the garb of deporting foreigners, Indian Muslims will be harassed.

The shadowy men behind the scene
T Nasir, an accused in the serial blasts in Bengaluru, had told his interrogators that he had managed cross the Indo-Bangladesh border with much ease. He claimed to have bribed some of the guards on the border before making his way in and out of the country. While detailing this issue, the Indian Intelligence says that the touts who provide the migrants with fake documentation initially used to operate around borders, but now had spread their operations across the country.

The problem begins in Bangladesh where there is a network that has been set up by the agencies there. Local touts help these people gain safe entry into India. While their job ends there, there are many within India who provide them with documents identifying them as legal residents of India. Many have even managed to get voter and ration cards. A nexus with local parties facilitates this process, IB sources claim.

In Assam, many illegal immigrants had land tax records in their possession. This, the police say, is making the issue extremely hard to deal with. Adding to the woes of the police are some political forces and human rights organisations who block their way claiming that innocents were being harassed under the garb of cleaning up the mess.

The middle men who help these illegal migrants ensure that these people do not stay on too long in one village. They are moved to other parts of the country before being detected. Various crimes go undetected, as many groups use these people as foot soldiers; there is never any data on them that would help the police track them.

The problem down south
An officer in Kochi told rediff.com that the influx into Kerala is rising steadily. "We have carried out many arrests in the past couple of years. They come down from north-eastern states and from northern India through Karnataka and make their way into Kerala. We get alerts on a regular basis regarding their movement. In Kerala, it has however been found that these persons do not come in search of jobs, but for illegal activities. In all, some 150 such persons have been arrested. During investigation, some were found to be in possession of fake currency while others had drugs on them. We strongly suspect that terrorists are using these persons to undertake ground work and also to help pass on funds for such operations. The problem has been biggest in Thrissur and Ernakulam districts where these persons enter and take up jobs in small scale industries," he says.

The problem is quite large in coastal Karnataka as well. There is a lot of construction activity on, especially in Mangalore, and the demand for labour is very high. Site owners often look for cheap labour; this is where illegal migrants enter the picture.

Despite the government's strict instruction not to appoint people without valid documentation, they continue to hire them. However, what builders do not realise is that they are contributing to a larger problem, which is made use of by a crime and terrorist syndicate. hen the Varanasi blast took place, the police were certain that it was the job of the Indian Mujahideen. However, they were never able to track the foot soldiers since the IM used migrant labourers to plant the bombs. Security agencies say if the issue is not controlled at the lowest level, it could snow ball into something major.

Kerala police has started registering all out of state labour as a precaution. Karnataka and other states could do the same. Also employees should check the antecedents of labour, do not employ if suspicious. Of course many BDs go under assumed names, but still if precautions are taken it might reduce the inflow.

Karnataka has a BJP govt.

Anyways, there is no doubt that these illegals are a huge national security threat, dealing with it requires a comprehensive plan. Sealing of borders, mkre proactive intelligence and counter intelligence. Give a good strong kick to the idiotic guards who take money and let them in. Catch hold of the touts and squeeze their balls. Idiots!

Police and their intelligence units need to get stronger. Well that is required overall to fight terror but the police should be more proactive in tracking these illegals. Citizens also have a role to play. All these illegals are illetrate. They work jobs like maids etc. citizens should report such people. But I guess with maids hard to find, most people will not inform. :facepalm:

More reason the state govt will be targeted if they take any action - (paid) media will be down on them like a ton of bricks. Also, illegal BD immigrants were encouraged by Congress in Assam and Communists in West Bengal, problem not created by BJP.

Stories like these maybe getting highlighted now, but they have been present in Karnataka from more than decade back! They were either Bangladeshis or all Bengali Muslims whom I came across in different parts of Karnataka were indeed from Kolkota! :notsure:

Bangladeshis are a unique species. First they led an agitation to break up India because they wanted a country solely for Muslims. Then they broke up Pakistan, because they wanted a country solely for Bengalis. And when they finally found a nest bereft of people of other languages and religion, what do they do? They break out of their country and start pouring into the neighborhood! They are indeed unique!

How do we stop this? :frusty::frusty:
Let us spread the news of illegals in the country and common citizens be involved in to stay on lookout for such elements and report them to authorities. It is turning in to another a situation like USA has with Mexicans.

Stop voting for Congress at any cost even if they offer you 10 crores and a dozen bugattis.

That's first step.

Second, once a legitimate government comes to power, they should give power to BSF to shoot anyone entering this side of the border by sneaking or without ID proof.

If Human Rights Commission starts shouting on this, check where they are funded from and who are their sources, reduce their authority in national security matters and put all their officers under probe for any link to foreign terrorist groups.

Those guilty should be hanged without trial as a lesson to others who are hand in glove with anti-national forces.

Well, checking for illegals does seem to scare some of them back to where they came from... :)

500 inmates in Assam relief camps missing, suspected in Bangladesh

At least 500 inmates staying in different relief camps in Dhubri district in Assam have gone missing and are suspected to have crossed over to Bangladesh after authorities started verifying antecedents of the victims of recent clashes between Bodos and immigrant Muslims.

Quoting inputs from intelligence agencies, official sources said at least 500 people living in relief camps fled from Assam after the authorities started checking their identity documents and land records before allowing them to be rehabilitated.

"We have reports that these people have crossed over to Bangladesh fearing detection as they did not have any document to proof their identity of being Indian," a source said.
Initially, there were reports that several thousands of people living in relief camps went missing but after verification it was found that around 500 inmates went missing from relief camps.

Nearly two lakh people affected in recent violence in Bodo-dominated areas are living in around 215 relief camps in Assam.

Meanwhile, in order to deal with the growing demand for detection of illegal immigrants, Assam government has asked the Union Home Ministry to allow setting up of 64 additional tribunals for detection of foreigners.

In a communication to Union Home Secretary R K Singh, the state government reasoned that additional tribunals would help settle more than three lakh cases pending before the 36 tribunals currently Assam has.

"We will send a proposal to the Finance Ministry for approval", a Home Ministry official said.

The Centre reimburses the expenses incurred on functioning 36 tribunals. Around Rs 22 lakh is estimated to be the expense for each tribunal.

The tribunals function under Foreigners Act 1946.

According to official records, the 36 foreigners tribunals have detected a total of 3,83,790 illegal foreign nationals in Assam from 1986 till July 2012.

But, except a few hundreds, all went missing and their whereabouts were yet to be found.

First of all the border must be fenced at all costs. If necessary then a portion of the national defence budget be ear marked for this purpose.

BSF guards to be rotated faster. The issue of corruption amongst the border guards is huge.

IMDT to be strictly applied and under a court appointed team, with regular progress report. If Bhutan could turn out illegal Nepali's who were out to create trouble then why can't we do it.

No idea about complaining.

The State Govts must to something about it.

Bangaldesh has tackled the Rohingyas even though they are co religionists.

Thailand has set them asail!

First step should be to send con party and it's anti national-corrupt allies packing that they never return ever. Then, start cleaning the mess starting from Assam AMD secular Bengal, if anybody protests shoot them in the head, especially anti national secularists, commies jhola chaps and mullahs. It's better that blood of the enemy flows today than our blood flows tomorrow.
