Illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, a big problem: Government

[Banana]

NEW DELHI: The government today said delay in identification of nationality of illegal immigrants by Bangladesh is causing problems in deportation from India.

"Delay in identification of nationality of illegal immigrants by Bangladesh High Commission is causing delay in deportation of illegal immigrants," Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran said in the Rajya Sabha.

He said the government has taken up the issue with the Bangladesh government.

Nearly 1.35 lakh people from Bangladesh without valid visa were intercepted since 2001 to June 30 this year, he said, replying to a debate on a private member's bill moved by Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi.

The minister said illegal immigrants from Bangladesh are a "big problem" and government is taking steps to deal with the issue.

Ramachandran said after issuance of UID (unique identification card) the country would be able to check illegal immigration.

He said the existing laws to tackle the problem are adequate. The Centre has asked the state government to implement these laws to check the problem, he added.

Earlier, Joshi alleged that illegal immigrants are providing weapons to terrorists carrying out attacks in different cities.

Ravishankar Prasad (BJP) said illegal immigration from Bangladesh is a threat to security, sanctity and defence of the country and should be stopped immediately.

After the assurance given by the Minister, Joshi withdrew the bill which sought to create a national commission for identification and deportation of illegal immigrants in the country.

AL/Congress should implement an Illegal Immigrant Exchange Program. Then we can get rid of 35 million illegal indians in BD. They pose serious security threat by arming both the communist and islamic militants. - BD Economic Times

Bangladesh can take Congress in return for more 35 Million Illegals.

That is also Acceptable

Dhaka Slums:

Awwwww... poor people... What's your point? Yes, of course we have slums? You guys are in denial (check the context of the discussion pal), not us. Give the dalits and poor muslims some space to breath , would ya?

Talking about poverty reduction, we have done pretty well in 40 years. NGO and society's still working on putting a smile on these people's faces. We don't have a class system - everyone shall have a fair chance at life eventually.

Slums separate Bombay from its future / Struggle over plans for redevelopment slows city's progress


Many Indian authorities here proudly claim this seaside metropolis -- the nation's largest -- as an Asian financial hub on par with Shanghai and Tokyo.

But critics quickly point out that India -- touted as an international powerhouse in the 21st century along with China -- will never become an economic success story until it eradicates its many urban slums. More than 40 million people, or 14 percent of the nonrural population, live in shantytowns, according to the 2001 Indian census.

India, which has 1.1 billion people, is expected to expand its urban population to 575 million by 2030 from 285 million today, making an increase in slums one of the nation's most pressing problems. Urban blight is most evident in Bombay, more than half of whose 16.4 million inhabitants reside in shantytowns. Also known as Mumbai, Bombay is often called "Slumbai."
