BJP leaders in Assam lashed out at UPA government for its failure to control the increasing infiltration of Bangladeshi migrants in the Northeast. They alleged that under the leadership of Gogoi, the situation of Assam is going from bad to worse.

THE BHARATIYA Janata Party (BJP) leaders from the Northeast have blamed both, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre and the Congress government in Assam, for the Bangladeshi problem and alleged that they are not keen on solving the problem. Talking in the sidelines of the two-day national executive meeting held in Delhi, BJP's Assam unit president, Ramen Deka, alleged that the UPA government is not serious enough towards solving the Bangladeshi infiltration problem. He said that, had the government been serious then it would have taken up the issue with the Bangladeshi government at the highest level. Deka further alleged that under Assam chief minister's leadership, the situation of Assam is going from bad to worse. "The UPA government is not at all serious on the issue. If it had any seriousness, then it would have taken up the matter with the Bangladeshi government at the highest level. Under Gogoi's leadership, the situation of Assam is going from bad to worse," he said. The BJP leader of Assam Mission, Ranjan Das, alleged that infiltration from across the Bangladesh border is continuing unabated. Besides, the various terrorist groups are also operating their anti-Indian activities from the soil of the neighbouring country. The newly-elected BJP national vice president and former union minister, Bijoya Chakrabarti said that the porous Indo-Bangla border has aggravated the infiltration problem in the Northeast. While citing the report by former Assam governor, Lt Gen(Retd), SK Sinha that on an average, 5000 Bangladeshis enter Assam everyday, he said that despite getting such a serious report, the Centre has not taken any step so far. The leader further alleged that the Congress is planning to gradually hand over Assam to Bangladesh.

"The border is porous. The governor had earlier reported that on an average 5,000 Bangladeshis enter Assam every day. Despite this, the government did not take any concrete steps. The Congress is planning to handover Assam to Bangladesh," he said. Another BJP leader and Arunachal member of Parliament (MP), Kiren Rijiju, lambasted Assam chief minister, Gogoi for his remark that it is impossible for the government to detect the Bangladeshi nationals and demanded the latter to step down on moral ground. What is more serious, according to him, is that the Congress is providing ration cards to the Bangladeshis and enrolling them in voters' lists to build a vote bank. Giving a clarion call to all to wake up to the situation, Rijiju said that if we do not start protesting now, then the northeast will completely be under Bangladesh occupation in the next 15-20 years.

It is to be mentioned that while the BJP national executive was discussing the Bangladeshi influx issue, Assam chief minister, Gogoi was defending the illegal Bangladeshis. While presiding an international conference on national and international terrorism in the national capital, Gogoi surprisingly came to the defence of the illegal Bangladeshis and said that all Bangladeshis can not be termed bad. "One cannot blame 98 per cent because of some two per cent," Gogoi told the conference. He also tried to brush aside the opposition parties' criticism that the state is home to lakhs of Bangladeshis, saying there must be human consideration for those who have taken shelter in the state. The chief minister also, surprisingly claimed the credit for the signing of the historical Assam Accord and said that it was after his persuasion that former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi had agreed to sign the accord.

Bangladesh, officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh was formed in 1971, under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after the bloody Bangladesh Liberation War, in which it was supported by India. But, today Bangladesh had become home for Islamic terrorist outfits like Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami (HuJI),JagrataJihadiJanata Bangladesh (JMJB) ,Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Purba Bangla Communist Party (PBCP).North-East India's separatist outfits like ULFA [Assam], ANVC[Meghalaya],NLFT [Tripura], NSCN[Nagaland], PLA[Manipur] have their camps in Bangladesh. These organizations are involved not only in creating chaos in India but also ethnic cleansing of minorities in Bangladesh.

The Hindu population of Bangladesh [then East Pakistan] in 1947 was 29.17%, but it decreased to 2.5% in 2001

According to the 2001 census report Indian population is 1,027,015,247.3 Of this, 1.5 crore people of Bangladeshi Infiltrators who are living in India. The Intelligence Bureau has reportedly estimated, after an extensive survey, that the present number is about 16 million. The August 2000 report of the Task Force on Border Management placed the figure at 15 million, with 300,000 Bangladeshis entering India illegally every month. It is estimated that about 13 lakh Bangladeshis live in Delhi alone. It has been reported that 1 crore Bangladeshis are missing from Bangladesh[August 4,1991,Morning Sun] and it implies that those people have infiltrated India. These infiltrators mainly settle in North-East India and in West Bengal.

This is shown by the fact that there has been irregular increase in theJihadipopulation in these states and many of the districts have becomeJihadimajority. The proportion of Muslims in Assam had increased from 24.68% in 1951 to 30.91% in 2001.Whereas in the same time period the proportion of Muslims in India increased from 9.91% to 13.42%. In West Bengal, theJihadipopulation in west Dinajpur, Maldah, Birbhum and Murshidabad percentage wise in 36.75, 47.49, 33.06 and 61.39 respectively according to 1991 census.

This has not only caused the burden on the Indian Economy, but also threatens the Identity of the Indigenous people of the North-East of India. In Tripura, another north eastern state of India, the local population have been turned into a minority community over time by the sheer numbers of cross border migrants from Bangladesh. In 1947, 56 per cent of Tripura's population consisted of tribal (or indigenous) population. Today this stands at a quarter of the total. In many districts these infiltrators are the one who decides the outcome of elections. Outcomes of the 32% of Vidhana Sabha seats in Assam and 18% of seats in West Bengal are decided by them. This is due to the fact that political parties are helping them to get Ration Cards and Voters ID and hence using them to win elections.
North-Eastern region is connected to rest of India by a small strip called "The Siliguri Corridor" or "Chickan's Neck".The militants have planned to isolate North-East of India from the rest of India and to create a newJihadination called "Islamistan". This Operation is named as "Operation Pincode". For this they have planned to infiltrate 3000 Jihadis into North Eastren region.[Jan 15,2005,The Pioneer].

The "Mughalistan Reaserch Institute Of Bangladesh" has released a map where aJihadicorridor named "Mughalistan" connects Pakistan and Bangladesh via India. According to the task force, there are 905 Mosques and 439 Madrasas along Indo-Bangladesh border on the Indian side.

This clearly indicate the intensity of the problem. Bangladesh with the help of ISI is silently invading India. If we do not take necessary measures India will undergo another partition. The present laws to counter the infiltration issues are not enough. We need to enact stringent laws. Indians should economically boycott them and create a hostile situation for them.

Going, going, gone.
The fact that I am the first person to comment on this article, after 1(one) full year, inspite of 1326 page hits is ample proof that the readers are apathetic, to say the least, to the whole issue. Multitude ethnic tribes and cultures are on the brink of extinction, and the demography of Assam as a whole has been changed. The tribes in interior villages are either getting hounded out by hordes of silent but menacing invasion of bangaldsehi settlers, or are being plainly neglected by the powers-that-be into oblivion. But the Assamese (for the greater good of all the indigenous people and tribes, they better consider themselves to be united under one broad name even now at this crucial juncture, rather than consider themselves as belonging to this community or that tribe when their numbers just add up to a few lakhs at the most, within their fractious tribal set-ups)are either too lazy, too passive, too self-centered, too self-destructive or on the other hand are being repressed by the state machinery (read Centre)into abject submission and loss of identity of any sorts. The entire people of this region, have been known to be of simple, gullible, indolent and accomodative nature, which has been well exploited first by the Britishers, then the business seekers from erstwhile Marwar kingdoms (which has continued well into this present century), followed by labourers from Bihar, then the refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan which became an obvert influx of the very pepole who were driving out the minorities from there. Today, when the Assamese (meaning the Assamese, Bodos, Mishings, Karbis, Ahoms, Kacharis, Deuris, Dimasa, Tiwas,Garos, Khasis,tea tribes and the other small tribes are at the brink of their end__ of land, identity, language, political rights, culture, customs etc. And, the Government of India (mostly run by Congress Party whose interests are inimical to the indigenous people), whose Constitution guarantees to safeguard its people is the main culprit in dealing the death blow to the civilization that once existed in these parts..... since, (what irony), independence itself in 1947. What is the term that describes a situation where the Govt, itself trains its destructive will & power on its own people__ is it called SECULARISM ? or, SELECTIVE GENOCIDE. !!!! Maybe, when somebody comes up with an answer to this, the next time around, Assam will no longer exist and be all history only, and we will have a Bangladeshi pretending to be an Indian pretending to rule a part of India pretending to be a constituent state. As Assam is still a political and geographical part of India now, the acts of omission & commision by the rulers (Center)and their cohorts in Assam, in destroying and finishing its own people is an act of treason and subversion. But who cares when we all toe the official line, and pretend everything is hunky-dory and there is no such thing as INFILTRATION from across the borders__ Bangladeshis__ pooh, pooh__ tell me if u have seen even one at all, and I will show you a hundred Assamese who will vouch for that__ won't you, you miserable fellas, wont you (growl) or else, I will let in some more of those characters you dislike, to quietly sneak in. You Assamese are good at pretending there is even some thing as impossible as a Bangladeshi immigrant. Tcch, tcchhh. India is one big nation of diverse people__ so what if we cannot annex another country, we can allow them to come and vex the most docile set of people within our borders. Tcchh, Tcchhh! Paradise Lost, Paradox gained. Tcchhhhhhh.
