Bangladeshi migrants attacking BJP workers with Mamata's backing, says BJP MP Giriraj Singh
India Today – June 4, 2014
BJP's controversial MP Giriraj Singh on Wednesday targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the attacks on BJP workers in the state.
In a tweet, the MP from Nawada in Bihar said his party workers were being targeted by Bangladeshi migrants with the backing from the West Bengal CM's Trinamool Congress.
Earlier in the day, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju had said Bangladeshi migrants are the cause of concern nationwide in relation to Assam. It must be noted that Giriraj Singh has made such controversial statement earlier as well, one of them was telling people who were critical of Narendra Modi that they should go to Pakistan once Modi was elected. The party was left embarrassed by the go-to-Pakistan remark by Giriraj Singh.

Illegal immigration from Bangladesh a national problem, says union minister
India Today – June 4, 2014
Illegal immigration from Bangladesh is a national problem, Union Minister of State for Home Kiran Rijiju said on Tuesday amid calls by a BJP MP to drive out the immigrants from Assam.
"The issue of illegal migrants and infiltrators in the northeast, especially the issue of Bangladeshis, is a cause of concern for all of us...This is a national problem," Rijiju, an MP from Arunachal West, said.
He said action will be taken against those "infiltrators" staying in the Indian territory.
On Jorhat MP Kamakhaya Prasad Tasa's call for a 'Bangladeshi bhagao abhiyan' (Drive out Bangladeshis), he said: "We have to look at these things from the national perspective. So action will be taken but we have to work along with the state government," reported PTI.
Tasa had said the drive would start from Jorhat and will be followed by other parts of the state.
"It has been an issue for all of us. Particularly our party. We consider this issue not as a political problem. This is a national problem," the minister said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, in his election rallies, said illegal immigrants from Bangladesh would have to go back.
Modi had also said he would only try to honour the Supreme Court's observation that infiltration was an act of aggression on India.
But there is disagreement within the BJP over the issue. Former home secretary and BJP member R.K. Singh said the issue of illegal immigration from Bangladesh cannot be tackled in the manner demanded by Assam BJP.
But the ultimatum to illegal immigrants to start leaving Assam has put the minority Bengali-speaking community of state in a state of panic.
