Influx: Mahanta blames Centre

The Asom Gana Parishad demands early steps to seal the Indo- Bangladesh border to help the state check unabated illegal immigration from across the border.

Participating at a seminar in Delhi on Saturday, AGP president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta said that the Centre was responsible for failing to stop influx. He said that unless the Centre steps in to seal the border, the exodus of Bangladeshi immigrants would continue. The seminar was organised by the Delhi Chapter of All Assam Lawyers' Association.
