Guwahati: Assam police apprehended and pushed back a Bangladeshi national.
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated in X,”Alert jawans of @assampolice apprehended one Bangladeshi national near the International border in Karimganj and pushed him back across the border. Md. Mustakin Islam We will continue to keep a strict vigil along the border.”
With detection of over 138 illegal immigrants from Bangladesh in the last two months, Sarma said that state governments have to play a proactive role due to the porous nature of the border.
Sarma on Sunday said Assam and Tripura are working very closely and if the West Bengal government also starts detecting well-orchestrated attacks, this will be a systematic effort.
Sarma told media persons, “Every day from the last two months, we are capturing either one or a group of foreigners in our state. Basically, my feeling is that because of the porous boundary between India and Bangladesh, in spite of the best effort by BSF, there are some people who are still coming into our country. State government has to play a very, very proactive role."
Sarma said, "Tripura is also identifying few foreigners. Assam is also identified. But in spite of our best effort, people must be going to the various states of the country because we have found many people who have gone back to Bangladesh to bring fresh people.We are coordinating with the border security force.Sometime, people are being identified through a joint operation, sometime by BSF, sometime by the state police. But it is a coordinated exercise".
He added, "In the last two months, we have detected 138 infiltrators and we have pushed them back. But one thing I must again repeat that contrary to the expectation that Hindus will come inside India because of the instability in Bangladesh, we are finding only the Rohingya Muslims who are coming into our country.So, I think first, the perception about Hindu-Bengali is wrong."
Sarma said,"That is what the data says. Second, the Muslim Rohingya are still trying to come into the various states of our country.Every state government must remain vigilant and they must work very, very closely with the BSF.So, Assam and Tripura, we are working very closely. We are detecting people. If the Bengal government also starts detecting people, I think this will be well-orchestrated and this will be a systematic effort."
He added, "But if we push them back and they can re-enter through the Bengal border, I think all the Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, Bengal, all the state governments must support BSF aggressively. Otherwise, things may deteriorate."
Sarma said, "our concern is whether he is Hindu or Muslim, we are least bothered. Our question is that if anybody comes from Bangladesh into our country illegally, they must be detected, they must be pushed back. So, I think irrespective of their religious identity, we are working."
