Islamic countries like Saudi-Arabia.

newspaper reported: 50 Christian families in Notre were subjected by the nightmare of the hoodlums.

Give ransom or Girl, ordered hoodlums

Raping Hindus out of BangladeshReligious cleansing of Hindus is

the primary goal.The underlying policy is “jane

maaris na, ijjat maar” (don’t kill them, rape their women).

Condition of Minorities in Bangladesh

The minorities of Bangladesh have only three options.

To change their faith and become Muslims

To leave the country, leaving behind all their possessions in Bangladesh

Get external support to combat the situation.

Rohingyas-A Muslim Minority in Burma

In 1978, 2,00,00 Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh after Burma’s military government had launched a campaign to rid the area of Illegal migrants.

In 1980s, more radical elements among the Rohingyas broke away from the RPF to set up Rohingyas Solidarity Organization(RSO).

Nearly 100 RSO rebels were reported to be undergoing training in the Afghan provience of Khost with Hizb-e-Islami Mujahideen.

Bangladeshi in DelhiMore than 1,50,000 Bangladeshis

who have migrated to Delhi, primarily from the districts of Khulna, Bagerhat, Faridpur, and Barisal.

Politicians like H. K. L. Bhagat have organized ration cards and free weekly medical care for these migrants

History DistortedSchool children of Bangladesh are made to believe that the Marauders of 1971 were “Indians”

History books only referred to the “allied” forces assisting the freedom fighters without naming any Country.

Indian sacrifice gone in vain

India contributed in blood, sweat, and money to Bangladesh liberation war in 1971.

Sacrifices made by Indian soldiers have been totally erased from public memoies.

After Independence, Bangladesh gave up secularism and projected India not as a neighbor but as a bully.

Economic persecution of Minorities

In 1993, BNP government enacted a law.

Minorities were not allowed to withdraw a large amount from the banks.

The commercial banks also stopped the disbursement of business loans to Minorities.

Local officials and law enforcing agencies side with the Muslim majority population against the minorities.

Indian Congress encouraged Migration Since 1961,Congress party

encouraged illegal migrants from Bangladesh to build up its Vote Bank.

The Congress and its successor has always ranked winning elections and remaining in power on higher priorities than security and integrity of the country.

Increasing population of Bangladesh

Bangladesh declared Islam as state religion in 1988.

Muslim personal law sanctions a plurality of wives.

They do not practice Family Planning.

Increasing population results in poverty and Lebensraum.

Bangladesh- Haven for Smugglers Bangladesh is a transit point for

drugs and precious stones.Myanmar cannot send drugs to

Bangladesh without traveling through India’s North East.

Bangladeshi ports are outlets for this illegal trade.

Drugs TradeAbout 80% of heroin from

Myanmar is sent through this route.

The entire operation fetches 600 to 1,000 crore Indian rupees annually.

About one-fifth of this amount goes into the pockets of very important people of these countries.

Bangladeshi Lebensraum Bangladesh’s prerogative to

increase its population just as it pleases.

Bangladesh consider it as their divine right to migrate in search of “lebensraum”.

Bangladesh consider it as a responsibility of the neighboring countries to provide jobs, shelter and food to its illegal immigrants.

Assam-If they want to survive in their land

Refuse to sell their land to any Bangladeshi, at any cost offered.

Ask the politicians what his stand on the Bangladeshi issue is.

Ask the elected representatives, what progress has been made towards the detection, disfranchisement and deportation of foreign nationals.

Population of AssamAssam population has doubled

itself within 30 years because of massive infiltration from Bangladesh.

AGP Reveled: No government has the courage to say that it would prefer to rather fall than to remain a government for the illegal immigrants.

Works on “role of Indian army” by Secular Bangladeshi intellectuals was pilloried and banned.

Bangladesh has emerged as the biggest illegal arms bazaar in the South Asia region.

It is Unrealistic to that believe that the conditions under which Bangladesh was born would remain that forever

Islamic countries to help Terrorist

The United Nations settled the refugee crises eventually.

But wealthy Saudi Arabian charity Rabita al Alam al Islami began sending aid to the Rohingya refugees in 1978.

In 1980, more redical elements among the Rohingyas broke away from the RPF to set up the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO).

General Ziaur RahmanIn 1977, he de-secularized the

constitution, legitimized the banned, communal and Islamist fundamentalist parties.

He shifted the country’s foreign policy towards forging close ties with Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia other Muslim countries.

Soon after Taliban were expelled, 3,000 Al-Qaeda fugitives from Afghanistan fled to Pakistan, and thence to Bangladesh via Nepal.

DGFI-Political contact in India

During the last parliamentary elections in

India 2004, about 7 candidates received

significant amounts of money from DGFI in Kolkata

DGFI has classified Indian journalists and media commentators in four categories.

Society can not hope to survive unless it can provide all services it needs from within.A society that lacks skilled and unskilled workers is removed or replaced.Today no society can survive, without its full complement of skilled and semi-skilled workers.
