Modi bats for Bangladeshi Hindu migrants

Star Report
Raising for the first time a foreign policy issue in his campaign in the run up to India's national elections, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra
Modi yesterday said 'Hindu migrants' from Bangladesh must be accommodated in the country and detention camps would be done away with once his party comes to power.

Indian polls, also warned China to shed its "expansionist mindset" as he toured a disputed region in the remote northeast, our New Delhi correspondent reported.
"As soon as we come to power at the Centre, detention camps housing Hindu migrants from Bangladesh will be done away with," Modi was quoted by PTI while addressing a public rally at Ramnagar.
“We have a responsibility toward Hindus who are harassed and suffer in other countries. Where will they go? India is the only place for them. Our government cannot continue to harass them. We will have to accommodate them here," he said.
Stating that this did not mean that Assam has to bear the entire burden, he said "it will be unfair on them and they will be settled across the country with facilities to begin a new life."
Earlier, Hindus from Pakistan had arrived in Gujarat and Rajasthan, but Atal Behari Vajpayee during his prime ministership evolved schemes to accommodate them in different states, he said.
Modi alleged that the Assam government as a part of its vote-bank politics had violated human rights of Hindu migrants in detention camps.
Speaking on the issue of "doubtful" voters, Modi said this was also a part of the Congress' vote bank politics of denying a section of the people their right to vote.
He urged the Election Commission to remove the tag of doubtful voters and give these people the right to vote to ensure free and fair polls.
Modi said that there were two kinds of people who came from Bangladesh to Assam; those brought as a part of a "political conspiracy" for votebank politics of a particular party and others who were harassed in the neighbouring country.
He said that those brought for votebank politics and smugglers from Bangladesh should be pushed back, while the second category must find a place in the country.
"You have to decide whether you will continue to tolerate Bangladeshi harassment or put an end to it. 1 have come to you for your answer," the Gujarat chief minister said at his second meeting of
the day in the northeast.
Attacking the Congress, Modi said that the 2014 Lok Sabha polls would mark the beginning of the end of the party.
In another election rally in the state of Arunachal Pradesh nestled in the eastern stretch of the Himalayas that China claims as its own, Modi said the hostile neighbour should instead focus on forging peaceful bilateral ties with India.
“The world has changed. An expansionist mindset will not be accepted. China will also have to do away with such a mindset," Modi said in comments posted on his official website.
“Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and will always remain so. No power can snatch it away from us."
China and India share a de facto border, known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which has never been formally demarcated.
The unresolved border dispute has soured bilateral relations which are often prickly and marked by mutual distrust - the legacy of a brief, bloody border war in 1962 over Arunachal Pradesh.
