Navin Upadhyay / New Delhi
DHAKA REFUSES TO RECOGNISE ITS OWN FLOCK--------- Raising a fence along the Indo-Bangladesh border was considered a foolproof way to stop infiltration. But now, the Centre feels that the fence is coming in the way of pushing back the same infiltrators.
Admitting the failure of diplomatic efforts to convince Bangladesh to allow deportation of illegal migrants, the Government is veering around to the view that coercive methods are the only option available to deal with the situation, described by Supreme Court as "external aggression."
In an affidavit to Supreme Court last month, the Central Government had said that "Bangladesh refuses to accept the infiltrators as its citizens since they don't have any valid travel documents. Therefore, they can only be pushed back through the porous border."
The fences, the affidavit said, are turning out be a major hurdle in deporting infiltrators. "A pushback is becoming difficult as a substantial portion of the border is being fenced leaving lesser space for carrying put such operations."
Another difficulty in pushing back the infiltrators is the fierce obstruction by Bangladesh Riles (BDR). "The pushback efforts are being resisted by BDR which includes offensive firing which results in stand-offs between the BSF and the BDR. Protest notes are also being lodged against the pushback by BDR," the affidavit said.
It added that a meeting of the Committees of Secretaries, convened on April 25, had decided on a multi-pronged approach to deal with the situation. The meeting decided that efforts be made to convince the Government of Bangladesh through diplomatic channels to take back their nationals living illegally in India.
Conceding that all such efforts have led nowhere, the meeting also decided that the Home Ministry would evolve a more practical policy and procedure after inter-ministerial consultation, keeping in mind the experience of deportation.
On the diplomatic level, however, the Centre has decided to keep the discussions with Bangladesh authorities on to resolve the impasse on illegal migrants. The Ministry of External Affairs has requested the High Commissioner of Bangladesh to schedule an early meeting to discuss the issue, the affidavit said.
In the letter, MEA reminds the High Commissioner that "the problem has been discussed at political level and official levels. However, since the problem persists causing grave concern, it is proposed that an early meeting may be scheduled to discuss all aspects of the issues at an appropriately high level. The modalities of such meetings may be settled through diplomatic channels."
