Guwahati: Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma today alleged that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI and terror outfits in Bangladesh are trying to reorganise themselves with the change in political regime in the neighbouring country.
Speaking to the media at Kokrajhar today, he said, “Efforts are on to ally with ISI and local organizations in Bangladesh, but the people of Assam believe in peace and are not going to come under their influence. We are catching infiltrators every day. We are monitoring the Brahmaputra using modern technology.”
Chief Minister Sarma said that the state’s border security remains robust, thanks to nearly complete fencing along its borders with Bangladesh.
Highlighting ongoing monitoring through advanced gadgets, the Chief Minister dismissed concerns about possible intrusions, particularly in light of reported attempts by the ISI and sections of Bangladesh-based groups to collaborate.
“There is no option for them to enter Assam as the border is almost fenced,” CM Sarma reiterated, emphasizing the effectiveness of the fencing and vigilance along the border.
However, he acknowledged that about 10-12 individuals are being sent back to Bangladesh on average following the change in regime in the neighbouring country.
CM Sarma noted that the Border Security Force (BSF) has successfully pushed back thousands of Bangladeshis attempting to cross into Indian territory illegally.
On the issue of insurgency in Assam, CM Sarma expressed optimism about achieving lasting peace. (IANS)
