The ghost of “Bangladeshi infiltrators” has been finally laid to rest. But not before this ghost played enough havoc on the innocent Muslims of India. The truth is now finally revealed in the latest census report. But the “national” toilet paper has suppressed even this truth. Hence, we have reproduced the following report from the Jamale-Islami English weekly, Radiance.

There has been no infiltration of illegal migrants into Assam from across the border. This truth is once again established beyond doubt by the 2001 census report released by the Election Commission of India.
Law & order problem: According to the census report, the percentage of the population growth rate has come down to 18.85 during 1991-2001 from the projected 24.25 during 1981-1991 in Assam. It is to be noted here that census could not be held in the state in 1981 because of the law-and-order problem created by the outfits which led the “anti-foreigners’ agitation”. The total percentage of decline in the decadal growth rate of population is 5.60.
Female growth: The 2001 census report has also shown that the percentage of the female population growth rate is 18.27 in Assam. It has been observed in different parts of the globe that the male population growth rate is higher than the female growth rate in the region which is affected by largescale infiltration of people as males generally migrate first leaving behind their females in their original homeland. But in Assam the growth rate of female population is higher than that of male population. This proves that there has been no infiltration of the Bangladeshis into Assam. Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina Wajid has clarified on several occasions that there is no Bangladeshi national in India.
Anti-Muslim bias: In the light of all these, the report of the Assam governor S.K. Sinha on influx submitted to the President of India in 1998 and the claim of AASU, AGP and the BJP that there has been unabated influx of illegal migrants from Bangladesh into Assam can safely be dismissed as communally biased, baseless and false.
