If instead of a 12yr old girl it would have a been a 25 yr Muslim guy, would all the people who are outraged over this incident feel the same way. Probably not. Rules should apply uniformly to everyone. Just because some "Big" criminals go scout free doesn't mean that everywhere else the rules should also be broken. The immigration officials at Kolkata have done their duty. They should be congratulated for that. India is not a banana republic. Advice for the mother next time she travels, check your documents before you travel half way round the world.

If millions of Bangladesis are coming to India, then why Bangladesh is still not empty?
Just cause there are problem in certain areas, we don't have to be lazy in every area.
Airport Immigration is a different beast then border security. Border security gurkha who might be earning a meager Rs2000/- will take Rs500/- to allow anyone cross the border.
So the solution is to give better pay to Border Security. But then why should a border state like Bengal bear all the cost.
Will you staying somewhere in Bombay/Delhi will pay a Border Security tax? No, if any government proposes such, u would be the first one to start crying.

Mr Rathi, Your analogy is not correct. India also protested when Dr Haneef was arrested in Australia. Dr Samar Guha, a teacher and a well known authorirty on Netaji Subhash, was a highly respected figure in Bengal. Generations of students in Bengal read his books on Physics. While you have the right to appalaud the action, I feel quite sad because a grandchild of Dr Guha perhaps deserved a better treatment in Calcutta. Kind regards

Mr Singh, If an exception can be made for a Srilankan Minister,you may bend a little for child whose family has impeccable credentials .Nothing can be more ridiculous than presuming that she could be a threat to India's security. Kind regards,
