After a suspected Bangladeshi man, who was arrested in a fake passport case, turned out to be a Pakistani national, BJP leader Amit Malviya slammed the Congress party over how Muslims were able to enter India on short-term visas and extend their stay for decades with "relative ease" during their regime.

Slamming the Congress regime on Thursday, Amit Malviya wrote on X, "In light of the recent visa revocation orders, it has become increasingly evident that during the Congress regime, Muslims from Pakistan were able to enter India and, with relative ease, extend their stay for decades by obtaining Long Term Visas (LTVs)."

He added, "Many settled here, married, raised families, acquired Aadhaar cards, and even voted—while persecuted minorities faced significant hurdles in securing similar relief. This appeared to be part of a deliberate and systematic approach."

"The consequences of those policies have deeply affected the nation, but corrective measures are now underway. Safeguarding our country from demographic imbalance is a long journey, yet important initial steps have been taken," the BJP leader's post wrote while sharing an article of the arrest of the suspected 'Bangladeshi' national, who turned out to be a Pakistani.

The man was staying in India with a fake Bangladeshi passport, Enforcement Directorate said. Ahammed Hossain Azad (53) had constantly been in touch with his associates in Pakistan and operated on their instructions, preparing forged documents in India, ED officials told the court. He was also engaged in money laundering, according to a report by Times of India.

According to media reports, he entered India on a tourist visa in 2019 and managed to get Indian identity documents, such as Aadhaar, voted ID card and a passport. He got in touch with a number of agents across India and helped illegal immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh to get visas to India and other countries.

The man's arrest came as India tightened its noose around Pakistan in the aftermath of the ghastly Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians lost their lives.

Retaliating to the terror attack, New Delhi revoked has all types of visas for Pakistani nationals, suspended the Indus Water Treaty and shut down its airspace for all Pakistani airplanes.
