Mangalore, September 27: Power minister Shobha Karandlaje said that according to the intelligence department, thousands of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are residing illegally in Bangalore.
Addressing the gathering during a special seminar for college girls' students, organized by Ramkrishna Mutt as part of 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda in the city on Wednesday, she said that there was a need to strengthen the security of country.
"Today's terrorists have become medicine, MBA and engineering graduates and there are instances of students of Mangalore University supporting Naxalites. There is a need to strengthen education system to provide good education in the country. Several rehabilitated Naxalites have confessed that they had become Naxalites due to bad education system, casteism and harassment of officers in government offices," she said.
Stating that syllabus should be framed in a secular manner, she said today politicians are into vote bank politics. Sharing her experience of visiting Manasarovar recently, the minister said, "We gave Manasarovar to China after we got freedom from British. Today Chinese treats us like beggars in Manasarovar."
Criticising a former prime minister without disclosing the name, she alleged that 25 years ago Indian soldiers urged the government to allow them to setup a camp on a high altitude hill to monitor illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh. "But instead of handing over that hill to soldiers, sadly the government handed over the hill to Bangladesh," she alleged.
