India: "Fencing of borders will end infiltration"

"Fencing of borders will end infiltration" Kanpur, April 3 (UNI): Union Minister of State for Home, Sriprakash Jaiswal, Sunday said that fencing along the Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangaladesh border will be completed soon to put an end to infiltration activities in the country.

Interacting with mediapersons here, Jaiswal said that once the border fencing work is completed, a comprehensive check will be put on the infiltration activities through both the sensitive international borders.

Infiltration has been checked considerably following fencing and stepped up vigil by security forces along the Indo-Pak border running through Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

"Tourist traffic in Jammu and Kashmir has increased and the influx of militants as well as drugs has been stopped in these three states neighbouring Pakistan," Jaiswal claimed.

Likewise, fencing along the Indo-Bangladesh-Myanmar border is also going on a war-footing, which will resultantly check infiltration in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura, he said.

The Minister, however, said that fencing work could not take off at a pocket on the Indo-Bangladesh border in Tripura owing to a dispute with the Bangladesh Rifles. The dispute would be resolved soon through deliberations, he hoped.

Jaiswal further said since the Indo-Bangladesh border was significantly made up of riverine areas, BSF jawans on speed boats have been pressed into service to keep a round the clock check on infiltration activities.

When the minister's attention was drawn towards West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhdeb Bhattacharya's recent concern over infiltration of Bangaldeshi nationals in the eastern state, Jaiswal maintained that border fencing and speed boat powered vigilance will put an end to the infiltration activities.

That can't be right. Fences can't stop them. That's what all the liberals are telling us.

India is closing/fencing its borders? Bwahahaha.
They are shutting out Bangladeshis and Pakistanis? Harharhar.

Thanks. I haven't had a such good political laugh in a long time.

Meanwhile they make sure that the border between India and Nepal stays open so Maoist insurgents can hide from the Nepalese Army by crossing into India.

If India and Israel can do it, why can't we?

If you don't get the humor of it, then no explanation would enable you to understand.

How did you come to understand it, then? Were you born with it?

Either that's a stupid question, you're just making trouble or you're unable to read. Pick one. And don't bother to respond -- THAT was rhetorical.

Why take the time to share a "private joke" if it's meaningless to everyone on Free Republic?

Oh, and don't bother to respond -- that was retorical.

"Meanwhile they make sure that the border between India and Nepal stays open so Maoist insurgents can hide from the Nepalese Army by crossing into India."

Wont be a big problem for India to blockade Nepal. Just the millions of genuine Nepalis comming to India for jobs would be hit. (Landlocked) Nepal will be shut-out from the rest of the world. Even their tourism industry will be hit. Not something the Nepalis themselves would want. Nepal is no Bangladesh and is culturally much closer to India (in fact it IS culturally part of India) but only Paki jerks like you see it differently.

Sagar.........ping!

Oh no, the tourism industry will be hit? That's terrible. Maoist bandhs are good for tourism? How will tourism be affected when the Maoist animals start building thier pyramids of skulls in Katmandu?

But what do commie loving "secularists" like you care?

"Oh no, the tourism industry will be hit? That's terrible."

Nepals economy runs on tourism and the bulk of tourists comming to Nepal are from India. Maoists arnt the only ones to shuttle between India and Nepal. Blockading landlocked Nepal will bring their economy to a grinding halt. Economics wasn't part of the syllabus in your madrassa I take it.

Yeah I mean you really have the right idea! To kill the Maoists, make all of Nepal starve to death! (/sarc)

So you dont like India's secularism eh? Too bad for you its not Islamic!

They will definitely starve to death if the communists take over.

The fact that you want to downplay the communist threat to India and Nepal as Paki propaganda means you are likely just a communist yourself, which your anti-American, pro-Ayatollah, pro-Soviet positions only make too clear. You were even against America's nuclear deal with India because you consider America your enemy. Well too bad for anti-Americans like you it is going through anyway.

As for "secularism" you may prefer India to be run by leftists rather than Hindu Nationalists but that's no reason to impose your Bolshevism on the Hindu nation of Nepal.
