Editorial Perspectives

• Were the Police asleep until the Bangladeshi intruders procured so many fake passports ? Shame on the Police.
  

• Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and voter ID cards being issued to intruders without any proof of Indian citizenship raises questions about the system itself. Many political parties in India are promoting the resettlement of intruders to increase their vote base. No other country except India must be putting a red carpet for illegal immigrants ! This is shameful for the Government and concerned political parties.
