Bangladeshi infiltrators in streets, alleys, all over
Is Central Government ready to
push back illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh?
On June 22, 2014, a Bangladeshi infiltrator
was arrested in front of the residence of Chief Minister of the Indian state of
Bengal or Sm. Mamata Banerjee at Kalighat by a team from Kalighat police
station. The arrest sent a shudder through the spine of Bengal administration
and basically, potential hullaballoo over the incident worried the concerned
department most. It has been learnt from Murlidhar Sharma (D.C. South), the
name of arrested youth is Mohammed Anam (age 28), hailing from Nayakhali of Dakshin (South) Sunmgunj) Upazila
(Sub-District) in Bangladesh and according to his own statement, he entered
India through Beanpole or the principal checkpoint of Bangladesh in the
India-Bangladesh international border to meet the Hon’ble Chief Minister of
Bengal. Even if a passport has been received from Mohammed Anam, he has no visa and accordingly, he
has been detained for investigations. A case has also been lodged against him
for entering India illegally.
What
astound all now are the security lapses prevalent both in the border and state
enabling an illegal Bangladesh infiltrator reach the area close to the Hon’ble
Chief Minister’s residence. At the same time, a police team belonging to west
port police station has also arrested three Bangladeshi infiltrators namely Tarique
Mollah, Billa Qazi and Mohammed Manirul Mollah hailing from Khulna district in
the realm of Bangladesh. A formal case has been registered against these three individuals,
based on Foreigners Act of India.
What makes the Bengal
government so helpless? Has the government
yielded to Bangladeshi infiltrators entering the state on whim? What refrains
the Bengal government from seeking the central help then? Does the Central
Government believe on pompous assurances and zero activity regarding push back
of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators? If these questions haunt any patriotic Indian,
it is quite natural. The bane of illegal infiltration is not limited to Kolkata
but is expanding far and wide and up to the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
Are not political parties conscious of this mounting demographic invasion? In a
nutshell, all are aware and to refresh the memory let’s go through pages of Ganashakti
(Bengali organ of CPIM). On October 11, 1992, Jyoti Basu, then
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Bengal, penned an article in Bengali to seek a final
solution to the problem of infiltration. He wrote in clear terms, “Muslims
started entering the Indian mainland ever since 1971. Between 1977 and 1992 BSF
identified and pushed back 2, 25, 529 Bangladeshis and among them while 56, 342
were Hindus, 1, 69, 795 were Muslims.”
On July 14,
2004, Shri Prakash Jaiswal, then Hon’ble Minister of State for Home Affairs, stated
in Lok Sabha that the number of illegal Bangladeshis in India (at that time) was
almost 10.5 million while 75 hundred thousand of them were stationed in the
state of West Bengal only.
The number, without a shred of doubt, has increased by leaps and bounds in the
last decade and now, the situation is such that a substantial form of this
alien population has started to decide the fate of Bengal in elections. Presence
of Mohammed Anam or Tarique Mollah, Billa Qazi and Mohammed
Manirul Mollah in Kolkata is found so frequently hence.
When will the Central Government initiate its
push back program? This sole issue concerns all now and unless such stringent
measures are adopted, the destiny of Eastern India will be perilous. This can
be stated undoubtedly. Last question – is the BJP-led Central Government
serious of its electoral promises to check illegal infiltration from Bangladesh?
Hindu Samhati regularly
monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West Bengal. We also work
with both governmental and NGO agencies for proper education on protection and
ensure remedies to the Hindu populace as per prevailing law of the land.
