Pune: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Friday
said that the naxalite threat in the country was not of
foreign origin, but a "home problem", and naxals should trust
the democratic system.
"It is a home problem. They (naxals) should have
confidence in the democratic system", he said adding that the
naxal elements should be persuaded to shun the path of
violence.
After addressing a `students` parliament`, organised by
Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) here, Advani briefly
interacted with the delegates.
To a query, he said the issue of illegal immigrants,
mainly from Bangladesh, had a bearing on the national
security, and government should take steps to deal with it.
"Bangladesh was created with India`s support. We will not
accept illegal immigration from that country", he said.
