<b>62,000 legal Bangla visitors missing</b>
Spl correspondent
NEW DELHI, Oct 22 â In a startling revelation, the Central Government has disclosed that over 62,000 Bangladeshis, who entered India with valid documents during the last three years, have vanished in the country. A highest number of 25,712 persons did the disappearing act last year, which also saw highest number of 5.24 lakh Bangladeshi entering the country legally.
The Government, however, was silent on the question by Motilal Vohra and Satyavrat Chaturvedi, who quoting media reports wanted to know whether over 1 lakh Bangladeshis have so disappeared. They had based their question on a remark by additional DG of Meghalaya Police.
According to Meghalaya Government, the additional DG had made such a reference in a seminar based on newspaper reports, Minister of State for Home Affairs, Sriprakash Jaiswal said.
The Minister said in 2005, 4.85 lakh Bangladeshis entered India legally, of which 12,338 did not return, the next year 4.84 lakh entered and 24,497 disappeared.
The problem of illegal migration from Bangladesh to India has been in existence since post independence days. India has a long and porous border with Bangladesh and people staying on either side of the border are generally from same ethnic background, similarity of language and culture, the Minister argued.

62K disappear after coming in legally. And ???K come in illegally. We need a Raj Thackeray and MNS at the WB border (but I am sure they will not do anything there for fear of a jehadi reprisal..they are only good at beating up Indians)
