12 Suspected Bangladeshi Infiltrators Sent to West Bengal Holding Centres
Malda North BJP MP Khagen Murmu said, “Those who aren't Indians but illegally entered our country have to return to their homeland. This is very important in making our state and country safe. Trinamul Congress had turned the state into a corridor for Rohingyas and Jihadis.” Among the three other suspects in Murshidabad, two were detained from Lalgola while one was caught at Bhagabangola.
Kolkata/Berhampore: A dozen suspected illegal immigrants from Bangladesh have been detained and lodged by the police at 'holding centres' in two districts of West Bengal in the last 24 hours following the BJP government’s order to the administration to open the facilities for the infiltrators' deportation to their country.
While nine of them were caught in Malda, three were held in Murshidabad. Both the districts have the India-Bangladesh border. The nine suspects have been kept at a ‘holding centre’ in English Bazar of Malda. Among them, three are women and six are children including boys and girls. All of them were caught from Gajole in the district.

They have been put up at a ‘housing centre’ opened in Padma Bhavan of Lalgola. Local Congress leader Abdur Razzaq said, "If these detainees are originally Bangladeshi nationals, we have no problem. But we will launch a movement if the deleted voters in the guise of Bangladeshi nationals are deported.” BJP leader Shakharov Sarkar said, “No infiltrators will be allowed here. We have taken a zero-tolerance policy against them.”
