Guwahati Bangladesh has illegally occupied about 499.79 acres of land in Assam, state Revenue Minister Bhumidhar Barman alleged.

Barman told reporters that the occupied lands were in Dhubri and Karimganj districts.

He said in Dhubri district 189.06 acres in Goroibari under Mankachar subdivision and in Karimganj district two tea gardens--299 acres of Pallatol Tea garden and 11.73 acres of Promodnagar tea garden were illegally occupied by Bangladesh.

The occupied territory were in their possession since 1948 under the then East Pakistan and despite several attempts by both the Centre and state government, the neighbouring country was yet to hand over the land to Assam, the minister said.

Bangaladeshi incursions in Assam by MOHAN DADDIKAR on 21 Sep 2009

Those who still believe that Eastern Indian states of India are part of India are living in the fool,s paradise. With a Roman Empress at the helm of Indian politics, a servile PM and a party of sychopanats (Congress)supported by the anti-Hindu and pro-muslim leftists, Bangal Desh is already a Greater Bangla Desh including sll the eastsern states of India.

Appeasing Bangladeshis by TUWARAM DUTTA on 20 Sep 2009

Bangladeshis are confident about the support from the Central and State governments – the appeasing Bangladeshi policy. Political leaders from ‘mainland India’ are not at all concerned about the future of the North east. Our local leaders are fighting among themselves for petty benefits. They have no time to think for common indigenous people.Therefore, all indigenous people of North East should unite together against the onslaught of Bangladeshis. Otherwise our next generation will be deported from their motherland – like Kashmiri Hindus.Though we have urged Central and State governments to stop this appeasing Bangladeshi policy for vote bank politics and take strict military action against all infiltratos who have threatened Indian nationals, but all in vain.

Bangaldesh would Claim Manipur, Tripura and West Bengal as theirs by Ramesh on 20 Sep 2009

When can we see end of congress? This is the beginning, we all should strive hard to throw this impotent congress out of power, These bloddy stupid politicians fit for nothing. Just they are minting public money, one day, they are going to sell India to our neighbouring countries from all sides. Better late than never, we all should take oath and throw this congress out of power.

Bangla Desh occupies Assam Land by P L Selva Mani on 20 Sep 2009

It does not matter to the Congress Govt whether Terrorists commit heniouscrimes (like attack onParliment etc) or whether China Pakistan or Bangla Desh occupy Indian land what matter more is when Narendra Modi's Government takes strong action against the terrorist then all hell breaks loose with the Congress I Government. With this type of scoundrels ruling us who needs enemies ?

Land encroachment by BDesh---- by romesh.sharma on 20 Sep 2009

I was furious to learn this news and wanted to write few words yesterday itself but couldn'/didn't do it knowing the plight of weak,coward and anti-nation elements ruling the country will stay deaf.This Govt controlled by foreign Lady and highly influenced under USAmerican evil/treacherous diplomacy is all bent to keep their chairs warm even at the cost of Nation's security.Partially they have already sold out Nation's strategical and other crucial interests and now the trend has become absolutely runious.BDesh has not only occupied around 500 acres of Indian Land but tis could be said Miles and not acres.To be very precise BDeshis have occupied Assam and half of the region.There is not even an inch left where these illegal BDeshis aren't seen.Millions of them came and are sneaking day in and day out.The bring with them worst kind of dieases and crime fanaticism and debauched life style.Beggers but produce children like pigs.They have contaminated the whole region and GOI is silent

These are ministers ofr duty or just observations? by Kalidas M on 20 Sep 2009

" Bangladesh has illegally occupied about 499.79 acres of land in Assam, state Revenue Minister Bhumidhar Barman alleged ". These are our leaders or journalists reporting an incident like an observer? They seem to have no lena-dena with it. What does it all mean? This guy along with all other Congressis is totally unfit to be a minister if he is going to just lament together with those whose land it was that got lost. Is he thinking of taking any action? That is what we need to know. These people wet their undergarments at the very thought of doing something on international level. Bloody nonsense, all this and such a pity.

What is Manmohan Singh doing?Did the 100 day agenda include terrorism at all?Entire north east is being eaten into and systematically converted but is the government going to do something aboiut it or should people throw footwear at them?

Incursions from Bangala Deshis by MOHAN DADDIKAR on 20 Sep 2009

Manmohan Singh, our respected PM , is busy in being in good books with Soniaji. What matters if entire eastern India becomes a part of Bangaladesh as long as the congressmen have some states to rule and mint money?

India's misleading info by ankit on 20 Sep 2009

THEY CAN ALSO CALL SRI LANKA TO OCCUPY SOME OF THEIR LAND INT THE SOUTH AND TALK OF MAHATMA, PATEL AND NEHRU?WHAT SONIAS SAYS IN THSI REGARD?SHE SAYS THAT IT HASNOT SOME TO OR BROUGHT TO HER ATTENTION?FUNNY FUNNY AND NON SENSE.

Don't worry "PM" soon will cool you by Boby Mehta on 20 Sep 2009

Well these Assamese always vote for Congress, soon they will find themselves in Bangladesh. Bangladeshis have already changed the demography of North-east. By the way when Manmohan Singh will cool Indians on illegal occupation by BD ?

Our own child Bangladesh is stabbing us by L.C.Bilandani on 20 Sep 2009

Bangladesh was created by India only and so it is almost like a child to us as India has fathered it.And today situation is such that they keep on occupying our land, do indiscriminate firing and kill our BSF guards at the border.They simply push up thier population in our territory as they dont have capacity to feed them and give them employment, and what are we doing all about it?Today even Nepal has revolted against us and indians are not safe there.Pakistan is constantly troubling us since independance and will keep doing so at its will.So is the case with China.It occupied a large territory in 1962 war giving us a big humilation.Now again it is claiming Arunachal pradesh and has been successful to stop a world bank loan by telling them that it is their part.Only a few days back it was in the news that a large area in maharashtra,tripura,andhra pradesh,bihar and uttarakhand are litterally in the hands of Maoists.After all what are we doing about it,are we so impotent?
