Dear Kuladip, I dont know what is the source of your data. You may kindly note the source for our reference. Do we know why the number of voters decreased in Bangladesh? Decrease in number of voters definitely is not the conclusion that those voters have come to Assam. Anyway, if your data is true that will mean and increase in Assam population duirng 1991 to 1995. May we check our birth and death registrar to confirm the infiltration? Registration of death and birth is compulsory in India. That might help us to get some data. The bitter fact is we dont hv any statistics on the illegal migrants. I tried to find out the reason why there is a decrease of voters number in Bangladesh. I talked to a few journalists working in Bangladesh. They informed that Government has introduced ID card and they found a lots of fake voters. Hence there is a decrease. Only voters with photo I card will be registered as a valid voter. You may check the following links. i would like to know if we can rule out any manupulation in Voters list of Bangladesh. If voter list in Assam is manupulated by including the illegal bangladeshis as Indians, can we conlucde that the voters list in Bangladesh under a care taker government is not manupulated? Lets forget that two ex-prime minsters are serving in jail?
Illegal migration in Assam is a sensitive and crucial issue. We need serious attitude for this with due respect to others. Lets not get diverted. I dont talk things out of emotion or day dreaming. Unlike you , I believe its nonsence to post FALSE and CRUEL JOKES in this group of decent peoples.

A progress report by the project for preparing electoral roll with photographs and facilitating issuance of national identity cards indicated that the number of voters in the country will stand at around eight crore, over one crore less than that in the previous list. Till May 27, field level tasks of voter registration were ‘completed in 410 places��?that include upazilas and city corporations. About 7.27 crore voters were listed, which is around 91 percent of the total. The process now continues in 75 places, the report said. Earlier, the Election Commission (EC) had said the number of voters would not exceed eight crore. The progress report indicated none of the upazilas where the field level tasks still continue would see increase in the number of voters. All the 482 upazilas and six city corporations are supposed to have more voters now than in the previous list since a large number of people have become eligible to be on the list during this period, sources pointed out. But the number of voters in Sylhet Sadar upazila has now decreased to 1,66,574 from 4,31,609 in the 2006 list, showing 61 percent fake voters in it (previous list). Similarly, 1,79,293 voters are on the new list for Barisal City Corporation area as against l 3,71,599 in the previous list, showing 52 percent fake voters. In Ramgati upazila of Laxmipur district, 1,24,084 voters were listed this time compared to 2,92,703 previously, showing 58 percent fake voters, according to the report. The Daily Star got a copy of it.. The 2006 electoral roll prepared for the ninth parliamentary election, which was scheduled for January 22, 2007, had 9.33 crore voters. It showed at least 1.31 crore fake voters, according to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) census report, 2001. The BBS report shows the number of people aged 18 years (minimum age of a voter) and above, should be 8.02 crore at best. The previous voter list triggered widespread protests contributing to cancellation of the parliamentary polls. Twelve districts that now see over 80 lakh voters less than in the previous list include Sirajganj, Comilla, Noakhali, Mymensingh, Brahmanbaria, Gazipur, Pabna, Kishoreganj, Tangail, Barisal, Dinajpur and Gaibandha. About the decrease in number of voters, the EC says the way the voter list is being prepared leaves no room for inclusion of fake voters as physical appearance of a prospective voter at registration centres is a must to have his or her photographs and fingerprints taken. UPAZILAS WITH INCREASED VOTERS The number of voters registered this time in Chatmohar upazila of Pabna has risen to 1,73,657 from 84,401, in Sujanagr upazila of the district to 1,65,542 from 91,174, Savar of Dhaka to 6,88,581 from 5,47,664, Kaliakoir of Gazipur to 2,65,815 from 2,32,633, Kamalganj of Moulavibazar to 1,63,752 from 1,55,338, Sadar upazila of Naraynganj to 6,79,835 from 5,91,609, Nangolkot of Comilla to 2,40,916 from 2,35,779, Haziganj of Chandpur to 1,73,263 from 1,25, 434, Akhaura of Brahmanaria to 1,03,860 from 94,518 and in Sadar upazila of Bogra to 3,40,317 from 3,35,994. Chittagong City Corporation has now recorded 15,62,270 voters, up from 14,52,891 in the previous list. ----- Original Message ---- From: kuladip baro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 19 August, 2008 2:16:37 PM Subject: [asom] Deportation of Bangladeshis Voters in Bangladesh in 1991=6,21,81, 745 Voters in Bangladesh in 1995=5,60,16, 178 Where this 61,65,567 (=6,21,81,745 - 5,60,16,178 ) people have vanished?

I agree with you that infiltration in border areas is not alarming. I was born and brought up in a border area in west Garo Hills Meghalaya. Till date I have not seen a single Bangladeshi taking shelter as illegal migrants.. But of course there are dacoits and thieves from Bangladesh who visit our area almost every night.

Minimise fresh infilitration with secure fencing(even Mexico-US border being breached regularly), legalise the existing Bangladeshis with work permit but deny them voting right. 2.Using Clause VI of Assam Accord reserve 85% of Assembly seats for indigenous people and encourage tribals councils even if they are defunct. See the ground position of the Rabha Autonomous Council. 3.Deportation to where? Bangladesh has never recognised infiltration to India. It is farce and will remain farce. 4.Like Insurgency, every political parties need infilitration issue for their survival in Assam politics. 5.Do not alienete and generalise Muslims as immigrants. Ask the Editors of Assamese dailies, the most correct and well writtens Assamese reports are coming from the correspondents of the immigrant community. 6.Should we spend another 25 years, waste another generation, chasing Bangladeshis or exploit them to the economic advantage of our motherland? Mrinal Talukdar P.S -- Working in the border region for long time, personally I do not think infilitration in the recent time has been very alarming. At least economic condition of border areas of present Bangladesh is far better than Indian side. Accept that truth. If not spend seven days from Karimganj to Goalpara border. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
