The violence in Bangladesh is showing no sign of stopping. Despite the formation of an interim government, incidents such as attacks on Bangladeshi Hindus, vandalism of temples and arson are coming to the fore. After the devastation in Bangladesh, many people are trying to enter India illegally. The government has tightened security on the India-Bangladesh border. BSF personnel are keeping a close watch. The uproar in Bangladesh has become a matter of concern for India as well. In particular, preventing illegal immigration from entering the country can be one of the biggest challenges for the government.

Population will change:
Infiltrators from Bangladesh usually settle in states like West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura via the border route. The Bangladesh border also has many small and large rivers and hilly areas making it difficult to prevent infiltration. Bangladesh has a large Muslim population. Meanwhile, there is also the risk of changing the demography of these states due to large numbers of infiltrators.

Vote Bank Politics:
Coming from across the border, these infiltrators often become a part of vote bank politics. Many times, illegal refugees get included in the voter list by creating fake documents with the help of local leaders. Its effect is also seen on local politics. Recently, fake documents of 20 thousand refugees were seized from Rae Bareli. All were accused of fake voting in the Lok Sabha elections.

Threat of Terrorism:
Along with infiltrators coming from Bangladesh, terrorists can also enter the Indian border. Former PM Sheikh Hasina also warned India before the coup in Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina said in two words that many terrorists can also go to India through Bangladesh by hiding in the infiltrations.

Entry of intelligence agents:
Many media reports have also claimed that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI is behind the coup in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, it is possible that along with Bangladeshi infiltrators, ISI intelligence agents may also make illegal entries into India. If that happens, this could prove to be a big risk for the country.

Crisis of Poverty:
Allowing illegal refugees to enter the country can create an economic crisis for India. The influx of illegal refugees into West Bengal, Assam and North East states will increase the slum area. Along with this, these infiltrators will also capture the resources of the state, which may increase rather than reduce poverty in the eastern states.
