Believe it or not, an infiltrator with a Pakistani passport had gone to the extent of contesting the Assam Assembly polls in 1996. This unprecedented incident was brought to the fore by the two judgements passed by the Gauhati High Court that ordered deportation of 50-odd illegal Bangladeshi settlers recently.
The hard-hitting court order by Justice BK Sharma alluded to the case (Md Kamaruddin, reported in 2000 (2) GLT 79), in which the petitioner, an infiltrator with a Pakistani passport, contested the 1996 Assembly elections in Assam from the Jamunamukh constituency.
Terming the incident as something that “can happen only in Assam”, the court said, “The petitioner was in possession of a passport issued by the Pakistan Government, on the strength of which he travelled to Dhaka in Bangladesh from where he sneaked into Assam and even contested the election.”

Tripura minister accused of helping a Bangladeshi Militant resigns, gets CPM's clean chit Agartala, Sat, 19 Apr 2008 NI Wire
In an unprecedented move the CPM on Friday gave his party’s virtual clean chit to the CPI-M leader, and Tripura’s Food and Civil Supplies Minister Sahid Chowdhury just a day after he submitted his resignation on account of his alleged links with a suspected militant of Bangladesh based Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami (HuJI) organisation.
Although Choudhary said the allegation was baseless, but he was submitting his resignation following an inquiry to facilitate a free and just investigation because he did not want further his name to be linked for playing with facts and interfering in inquiry.
“I have decided to resign from the ministry to uphold high moral values and for the sake of an independent investigation," Choudhary was quoted as saying.
The inquiry was placed after the Leader of the Opposition Ratan Lal Nath a Congress leader complaint to Chief Minister Manik Sarkar on April 07 for the minister’s illegal assistance to Mamun Mian, alias Suman Majumdar, supposedly a member of HuJI and demanded his resignation and an institution of an independent inquiry.

It is a well known fact to the Security Agencies in the country and even to the BSF that lakhs and lakhs of illegal migrants from Bangladesh have already entered into our country and the flow of such people is still continuing. It is also a fact that some BSF personnel guarding the border keep a blind eye to such activities in return of bribe. Even some Bangladeshis are having dual citizenship, having houses and properties in both the countries and even two Passports. Since the political leaders are also dependent on vote of such illegal migrants for their survival, there is no control over either influx or stay of such people. The ruling establishments do not have courage to retaliate even if our soldiers and BSF men die by the bullets of our neighbouring enemies. While the Ministers, MPs and MLAs lead a luxurious life in the name of democracy our brave soldiers die on the border but still the peace talks are continuing.

On the Pakistani caught fighting elections in Assam - Court judgement:
This leaves little doubt as to the sinister designs behind the unabated cross-border influx – that is to wrest political control from the indigenous populace. In a significant observation, the court noted, “If the phenomenon of cancerous growth of Bangladeshis continues, the day is not far off, when the indigenous people of Assam, both Hindus and Muslims and other religious groups, will be reduced to minorities in its own land and the Bangladeshis, who are freely and merrily moving around the fertile land of Assam, will intrude upon the corridors of power.”
The court also came down heavily on corrupt and inefficient government officials and police besides political parties which makes it possible for the illegal migrants to have easy access to vital documents such as ration card, voters’ list and even passport.
“The discrepancies (in the documents) are so glaring that it cannot escape the notice of any prudent man, more particularly, the authorities of the Regional Passport Office entrusted with the solemn duty of issuing passports to genuine Indian citizens,” adding that the police was equally callous in not noticing the anomalies in the documents provided by the illegal Bangladeshi settler.

How Congress has a Nepali Citizen as a Minister in Assam cabinet -
New Delhi, April 28: The CBI informed the Supreme Court today that controversial Assam MP Mani Kumar Subba’s birth certificate and several other documents — submitted to the Election Commission to prove his Indian nationality to enable him to contest general elections — appeared to be fake.
Additional solicitor general Gopal Subramanium told the court — which had asked the CBI on January 20, 2005 to look into allegations that lottery king Subba was not an Indian national — that several documents, including Subba’s birth certificate, were “not genuine” and appeared to have been forged.
The CBI observations have come as a blow to the ruling Congress in Assam with the party having started preparations for the Lok Sabha elections.
A lottery baron, Subba is known to be the key fund-raiser for the party.
A senior Congress leader, who did not wish to be named, said the development had come as a huge embarrassment for the party and particularly those who had all along been backing Subba. “The current state leadership was not at all happy over the role that Subba had been playing.” The Nepal government had earlier said Mani Raj Limboo alias Mani Kumar Subba was a resident of village Somangkhu, ward 8, Sangsabu, Tamarkhola area gram panchayat, district Taplejung, Eastern Nepal.

“If the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India are being upheld in the above manner by the authorities entrusted with the task, it is easily conceivable as to what is in store for Assam,” it said.
The court also observed that “some political parties have been encouraging and even helping illegal migration with a view to building vote banks…Moreover, with corruption being all-pervasive, corrupt officials are bribed to provide help.”
The developments make it clear that the infiltrators are not only consolidating their numerical strength in Assam but are also having a major impact on the political process, especially in the matter of electing public representatives.
