Hyderabad: The BJP unit of Andhra Pradesh
on Wednesday alleged that over one lakh Pakistani and Bangladeshi
nationals, who were staying illegally in the state, were
trying to enrol themselves as Indian citizens during the
on-going Census drive.
Speaking to reporters here, party spokesperson N V S
Prabhakar demanded appointment of an IAS officer to supervise
the Census exercise and ensure that no foreigners could enlist
as Indian citizens, particularly in the old city areas.
During the Census, the government should take steps to
weed out anti-nationals and illegal migrants staying in the
state, Prabhakar said.
Hyderabad has become a den for terrorists and illegal
activities due to an inept police force, he alleged.
Vicar alias Vicaruddin, a terror suspect from the city,
is missing for last three years and police were not able to
track him, he said, adding there was no co-ordination between
counter-intelligence personnel and Octopus, an anti-terrorist
cell.
