New Delhi, Feb 27: Pakistan was attempting to infiltrate agents into India under the assumed identity of Bangladeshi nationals, the Minister of State for external affairs told the Rajya Sabha today. Asserting that government was alive to such dangers, Singh in written replies said Islamabad was attempting to push in these agents on forged passports through the Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bangladesh border. He said India's concern over the issue had also been shared with Bangaldesh government.
Reiterating that government had information of presence of al Qaeda elements in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, the minister said that Pakistan, which had earlier shifted some terrorist camps from PoK, had now again reactivated them.

He also said that India had no intention of buying the house of Pakistan's founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah in London.

The minister said that an inter-ministerial technical subcommittee had recommended issuance of more secured passport which could be machine readable. He said the committee had also recommended that India, like other western nations, should come up with a machine readable visa.
