How Bengal’s crackdown on infiltrators has ached radicals in Bangladesh
As the crackdown on illegal infiltration intensifies in West Bengal, radical elements based in Bangladesh have allegedly issued threats targeting the state, including warnings about creating a Hamas-like network in Bengal. The developments come amid increased border surveillance, the opening of detention centres, and reports of infiltrators gathering near the India-Bangladesh border.
In today’s episode of DNA, a detailed analysis of the alleged extremist threats, the changing border situation in West Bengal, and the government’s action against illegal infiltration was conducted.
The programme highlighted statements made by a Bangladeshi radical figure who linked the return of alleged infiltrators to what he described as atrocities against Muslims and threatened to turn West Bengal into “Gaza.” The speaker also claimed that “Ghazwat-ul-Hind” was being prepared in Bengal and issued provocative remarks regarding temples and mosques.
The timing of these threats coincided with recent developments at the Hakimpur border, where large groups of Bangladeshi infiltrators were reportedly seen gathering after the opening of detention centres in West Bengal. The analysis argued that fear of detention and deportation had prompted many infiltrators to move toward the border voluntarily.
The discussion described the alleged infiltration network as a multi-phase operation. The first phase, it claimed, involved “demographic invasion,” where infiltration was allegedly used over decades to alter population patterns and gain control over land and local resources in border areas.
