India Today
Home Minister Araga Jnanendra flagged concerns while saying that the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants pose a danger to the country's internal security.
The Karnataka government plans to crackdown on Bangladeshi immigrants who work in the State, with Home Minister Araga Jnanendra flagging concerns that they pose a danger to the country's internal security.
The Minister said a survey is underway by police to track down such illegal immigrants.
He said police have information about their presence in parts of the State, especially in coffee plantations in Kodagu and Chikkamagaluru districts working as labourers.
"Special efforts and preparations are on to track them and apprehend them," Jnanendra told PTI in an interview on Thursday.
He alleged that Bangladeshi immigrants manage to get ration cards, voter ID cards and Aadhaar cards in Assam and West Bengal after they sneak into India.
It's a big racket and there is a need to crack down on this network. "It poses a danger to our country's security", the Minister said.
Jnanendra also said cybercrime cases have been going up sharply in recent times in the State, adding, police are in touch with bank managements to address the issue.

He, along with another General Category candidate, has sought minority reservation benefits for admission to a Buddhist medical college on grounds of their purported conversion.
