New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati today voiced concern
over absence of any mechanism to register arrival of Pakistani-origin
people travelling on other countries' passport with the local
intelligence and said some such elements could indulge in
anti-national activities.
"It has come to light that people of Pakistani-origin but travelling
on other countries' passport are not supposed to inform local
intelligence authorities about their arrival. Such travellers may be
exploiting the absence of any such mechanism to take part in
anti-national activities," Mayawati said in her speech circulated at
the Conference of chief
ministers on Internal Security here.
Mayawati, who did not participate in the conference, also said in her
speech that states like Assam, Tripura and West Bengal are responding
to only a few ratification requests of alleged Bangladeshi migrants.
"In the context of terrorism, I would like to attract the attention
towards illegal Bangladeshis who are settled in large numbers in the
state in areas close to Delhi.
"They call themselves native of Tripura, Assam or West Bengal but when
sent for ratification the authorities of these state respond to only
10 per cent of queries which is a hindrance to effective action
against them," Mayawati said.
She said there were loopholes in security infrastructure of Mathura
Oil Refinary and Narora Nuclear Plant, handled by CISF, which have
been raised with the Centre.
Mayawati came down heavily on the Centre for not releasing money for
various proposals sent by the state government on security-related
issues.
"The state government is investing in roads in Naxal- affected areas
for smooth movement of security forces. A request of Rs 729 crore was
sent to Centre in September 2009 but it has not been cleared...special
rehabilitation programme in Naxal-affected areas (is) of Rs 84 crore
but only 8-9 crore (has been) cleared which is very less," she said.
The chief minister said the state government has sent a proposal of Rs
1503 crore for building road infrastructure near Indo-Nepal border
which has not been cleared by Centre.
She complained that Centre gives funds for modernisation of police
force but it is declining every year.
"Compared to the state budget of Rs 7235 crore for police about Rs 100
crore is negligible..
weapons. It should be cleared as soon as possible," she said.
Mayawati said state police is not getting slots for advanced commando
training at central institutes.
She said the Centre's modernisation scheme gives funds for weapons but
not for ammunition. "The scheme allows purchase of new vehicles but no
replacement is possible (and) it should be incorporated in the
scheme," she said.
Mayawati said more than two lakh posts have been created in police
force which will be filled soon in a transparent manner.
