India\\\'s Home Ministry told to set up dept to fight \\\'infiltration\\\'

India's next Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already told the Home Ministry to set up a new department to combat illegal migration from neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. Modi has told Home Secretary Anil Goswami to set up the special department within the ministry in the ‘shortest possible time’. The message was conveyed by Modi himself over telephone, Home Ministry sources said. BJP MP R K Singh, who was India’s Home Secretary just before he fell out with the Congress government and joined the saffron party, has been tasked with working out the details of the new department in consultation with officials who were once his junior in the Home Ministry. Modi had campaigned hard during the recent election on the issue of illegal infiltration from Bangladesh and Pakistan, especially in Assam and West Bengal. But a senior BJP leader told bdnews24.com that this should not upset Dhaka or Islamabad because this was purely an ‘internal security move’.
