Pak's ISI using India's Bangla immigrants in terror assignments Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other militant groups may be using illegal Bangladeshi migrants in India's north east for terror assignments. This revelation came to light with the recent arrest of 14 Bangladeshis in Rajasthan as they were trying to cross over to Pakistan from the border areas of Assam.Among those nabbed was an agent, who helped these immigrants to cross over. "I came from Bangladesh fifteen days before. I stayed in Delhi. After staying there for a week, I came to Sriganganagar and from there I came here (Guwahati) with Jahangir (agent)," claimed one of the nabbed Bangladeshi migrants. The illegal immigrants are willing to put their lives at risk and barbed wire fences are hardly a deterrent for those who want to cross. For these Bangladeshi nationals, it is a question of survival and hundreds continue to pour into India night and day. Sections of the illegal migrants bring fundamentalist and overtly anti-Indian sentiments along with them, providing an ideal fishing! ground for Pakistan's Inter services Intelligence (ISI). According to Ajay Sahni, the Executive Director of the South Asia Terrorism Portal, "Some of this population has been mobilized by covert agencies of Pakistan and Bangladesh for direct terrorist groups, most of whom are not very prominent as yet. They have been engaged in occasional acts of terror but then there is not a mass movement. But there is a multiplicity of such organizations which could result in a major terrorist threat." The Bangladeshi population in India is an estimated 13.2 million. It is not only north eastern states like Assam and Tripura,but also states like West Bengal,Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra that have borne the brunt of this burgeoning population menace. Political analysts say such demographic spread of Bangladeshis poses a grave threat to India's internal security. "The threat is not located in one geographical region. It is located wherever these populations are present, these are not present in the North East. The threat tends to be proportionate to the number ofpopulation present in different areas. So wherever the density is higher,the threat is greater, but that is necessarily the case, you may havecertain point of time, where you have small population exist but they aremost mobilized ones. Today, you have to understand that terrorist activitydoesn't need or demand more participation. Very small number of committed cadres can set a terrorist movement or sustain a terrorist ovement," says Sahni The need of the hour is to understand that it is no longer a humanitarian problem, but a threat to India's national security and stability. However the Bangladesh government continues to deny there is any illegal immigration from Bangladesh to India. -- OpenPGP Key: 030E44E6 -- Was I helpful?: http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=packetknife -- I do benefits for all religions.
