LG takes strong note of attack on Saif by Bangladeshi national

Tuesday, 21 January 2025 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

Taking note of attack on Saif Ali Khan allegedly by a Bangladeshi national, Delhi Lt Governor(LG)Vinai Kumar Saxena has asked the authorities to take action as there are organised syndicates and vested interest groups which facilitate the settlement of such immigrants, facilitate their employment on the basis of forged documents such as Aadhar, Voter ID and Ration Card.

Stating this on Monday, Raj Niwas said on Monday Saxena has taken note of the grave criminal incident involving a high profile Bollywood actor in Mumbai, wherein a Bangladeshi national was involved in house break and criminal assault. It has been widely reported that the concerned individual was living under an assumed identity and was working at a restaurant.

The LG has observed that the involvement of illegal Bangladeshi/Rohingya infiltrators in criminal/illegal activities in Delhi cannot be ruled out. It is underscored that such illegal immigrants are often employed by shopkeepers and other residents as workers/house help at far lower wages than the prescribed minimum wages, thereby depressing local labour markets.

Saxena has directed that a special campaign be launched to identify such infiltrators on a mission mode. An outreach programme may be launched through print and social media to generate public awareness on the importance of verification of employees/domestic help and workers including construction labour in the interest of their own security. Resident Welfare Associations/Shopkeeper Associations may also be sensitized about the need of antecedent verification before employment.

For those employers who are providing employment, accommodation or shelter to such illegal immigrants without antecedent verification, suitable legal action may also be initiated.

Earlier, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj on Monday launched a scathing attack on AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal over his alleged silence on the Bangladeshi accused in Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan stabbing case. Swaraj’s critique of AAP and its supremo came during the inauguration of BJP’s election office in the Greater Kailash constituency for the upcoming Delhi elections.

“I want to ask Arvind Kejriwal why he has gone quiet now that it has been revealed the accused is Bangladeshi. Whenever the Election Commission verified and removed illegal Bangladeshi voters from the electoral rolls, AAP always opposed it,” she added.
