   Bâdeshi migrants a threat to security: Parliamentary panel
   
   NEW DELHI, April 18: Illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, present in âlargeâ
   numbers across the country, pose a grave threat to Indiaâs internal
   security, a Parliamentary panel has noted. âA large presence of illegal
   Bangladeshi immigrants poses a grave threat to the internal security and it
   should be viewed strongly,â the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home
   Affairs said in its latest report. The Committee, headed by Sushma Swaraj,
   also said in its 46-page report that counterfeit notes were in large
   circulation along the Indo-Bangladesh border.

   âThe Committee strongly recommends that movement along the border may be
   strictly monitored,â the report on Demands for Grants of the Home Ministry
   said.

   The report pointed out that the porous Indo-Bangla border and the practical
   difficulties due to topographical reasons acting as impediments in the
   timely completion of border works projects were reasons behind âinfluxâ of
   illegal Bangladeshi migrants. It has been reported that these illegal
   migrants have been able to secure ration cards, driving licences, voter
   identity cards and even PAN cards, the report said. It also quoted media
   reports, citing intelligence sources, as saying that terrorist groups have
   been recruiting Bangladeshis in India.

   Reports have appeared that certain Bangladeshi insurgent groups have been
   involved in terrorist incidents in India, the report said. PTI
