The petition states,

1. The incidents of violence, vandalism, looting, kidnapping and heckling have increased in the State with the increase of intruders. The population of these intruders has crossed 5 crores. This is a threat to the unity, integrity and security of the nation. The right for independent movement within the country is only for Indian citizens and not for intruders.
2. Bangladeshi intruders easily get forged documents like Pan Card, Aadhar, passport, ration card etc. Under the National security Act, legal action, should be taken against the Government officials, Police, travel agents and security personal who help the intruders. A case should be filed and all their illegal assets confiscated.
3. The Indian Penal Code should make intrusion a cognizable, non-bailable and non-compoundable offence.
