West Bengal BJP chief and Rajya Sabha MP Samik Bhattacharya on Wednesday said a silent demographic invasion was underway in the state, where the government was openly inviting Rohingya and illegal Bangladeshi immigrants to settle.

Flagging the controversy involving the construction of Babri Masjid in Bengal, Bhattacharya said, “In the land of Vande Mataram, we now have a Babri Masjid being built.”

Participating in the debate on Vande Mataram, he said a silent demographic invasion was underway in West Bengal. “Demographic balance has been disturbed by infiltration. A government openly invites Rohingyas, illegal Bangladeshi immigrants into West Bengal. By creating a passage through West Bengal, the illegal immigrants have also altered the demographic balance of Bihar, Jharkhand, Seemanchal and Vananchal areas,” said Bhattacharya.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
