The thing is Murshidabad has always had a Muslim majority. Even at the time of partition, it was handed to Pakistan but then swapped for Jessore. The district largely borders Bangladesh. There is an actual problem of immigration, but at the same time, it isn't that big of a thing which the media projects it to be. And it is neigh impossible to distinguish the local populace from the immigrants.
The infiltration problem is real and worrisome in all the border districts of WB. One can move freely between Bangladesh & WB. Once the enter, they go deep into Birbhum & Burdwan districts. Heck, you can find their colonies in Delhi, Hyd and Bengaluru as well.
Problem is when they enter, no way we can identify them. India is the number 1 country which is impacted with immigration problem compared to other countries. All the household, farm worker from Bangladesh in karnataka. It is national breach of security.
Heard that citizenship by naturalization is relaxed to 5 years for minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh & Afg.. Hope even Muslims will be granted citizenship who are in India for more than 11 years...
In Hyderabad, there are few cases people from Bangladesh & Nepal are applying for Indian Passports by providing fake proofs... but most of the Bangladesh people are daily wage workers and entered legally..

Is Murshidabad full of Bangladeshis or is it just propaganda?
