Says Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday accused the Indian Border Security Force of letting infiltrators from Bangladesh enter India to destabilise the state.
Mamata also claimed that the ploy "is a blueprint of the Union Government to disturb West Bengal."
Bangladesh has the longest border with India, with West Bengal sharing a 2,272 km-long boundary with it and Assam, Tripura, Mizoram and Meghalaya sharing the remaining boundary.
The paramilitary force is responsible for guarding the Indo-Bangladesh border. "We have got information that the BSF is letting infiltrators enter India through Islampur, Sitai, Chopra and several other border areas.
"The BSF is also torturing people and trying to destabilise the state," she alleged at an administrative review meeting at "Nabanna" in Howrah.
A senior BSF officer, requesting anonymity, rejected Mamata's allegation and said "we are diligently performing our responsibilities to ensure the safety and security of the borders."
