[Assam] Bangladeshi intruders

        Bangladeshi intruders
— According to available reports, Bangladeshi nationals have been using porous Indo-Bangladesh border to enter into India illegally. It is difficult to make a realistic estimate about the number of such illegal Bangladeshi immigrants because they enter surreptitiously and are able to mingle easily with the local population due to ethnic and linguistic similarities. However, there are reports that some illegal Bangladeshi migrants have managed to obtain ration cards, passports and voter identity cards etc. The State Government/UT Administration is competent to deal with such cases, as and when detected, in accordance with the provisions of laws. This was stated by Sriprakash Jaiswal, Minister of State for Home Affairs in a written reply to a Rajya Sabha unstarred question of Sanjay Raut.

The minister also stated that the State Government and Administrations have been empowered under section 3(2) (c) of the Foreigners Act, 1946 to detect and deport foreign nationals illegally slaying in India. Administrative instructions are issued from time to time requesting the State Governments and UT Administrations to detect and deport illegal Bangladeshi migrants staying in the country.
