Right from 1947, infiltration of Bengalis from East Pakistan into the various states of India has been going on. This despite the fact that the State is duty bound to protect its borders. This infiltration is not confined to Hindus facing the wrath after partition but also by Muslims, actively abetted by influential individuals like Fakruddin Ali Ahmed and states like West Bengal indulging in vote bank politics.
Even after the unwise action of formation of Bangladesh with the might of the Indian army, this inundation of the border states by aliens continues. They manage ration cards, enrolment in electoral rolls and various other documents and facilities in a systematic way.
The demogragraphic profile of North East has changed enormously and this coupled with lack of employment opportunities there and fierce tribal loyalties has made this region a tinder box of escalating violance. In the last round of ethnic conflict there, Pakistani flags sprouted in many villages.
Now these illegal migrants have spread to almost every nook and corner of India and form a potential pool of recruits for terrorist outfits.
Hon'ble Supreme Court has castigated the Government for its failure to protect the country in general and its borders in particular in the context of this dangerous trends in demographic changes. This makes no difference to our Government whatever be its hue. BJP makes a difference between Hindu illegal migrants and Muslim illegal migrants, This is unacceptable.
Recent serial blasts in Asom is a direct result of this ethnic strife.
Government and Opposition should rise above electoral politics and act immediately to uphold the territorial integrity and security of the Nation. An Indian from other parts of India has no right to settle and acquire property in Kashmir which we claim to be part of India. But lakhs and lakhs of Bangladeshis enjoy this everywhere in the country. What is this? Why should innocent Indians die in North East?
