KOLKATA: Pakistani terrorist groups which are active in Bangladesh are understood to have opened a second front to infiltrate into India through West Bengal and then spread across the entire country.
Hingalgunj in South 24 Parganas, was a favourite for the Pakistani terrorists. But now another sensitive place, Murshidabad has turned out to be the second front.
Security forces in West Bengal are on high alert in Murshidabad following two separate reports issued by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), under the Union home ministry and Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau (SIB), which comes under the purview of the external affairs ministry. Both reports were tabled in the Prime Minister’s Office recently. The state government has been alerted that some of the dreaded Bangladeshi and Pakistani terrorist groups have even developed their own linkages and agent networks across the villages dotting the borders.
An Intelligence Branch probe by the West Bengal Police has revealed that “Jamaat-ul-Mujahidin” and banned Students’ Islamic Movement in India (Simi) have deep-rooted networks in the border villages of Murshidabad, where the Muslim community is in a majority. The agency has also received information that “Jamaat-ul-Mujahidin” hideouts are often being frequented by leaders of the group’s armed guerrilla unit, “Kital-Fi-Sabibillah,” which recently added five new divisions to its existing 10 armed guerrilla units. According to sources, foreign secretary Shiv Shankar Menon met West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, where the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration through West Bengal was discussed. The chief minister was also informed on of how Murshidabad is fast becoming a second front for Jamaat-ul-Mujahidin.
Meanwhile, the Intelligence Bureau has cautioned that the present political unrest in Bangladesh has increased the possibility of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahidin accelerating its activities.
