Click to play videoNew Delhi: Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Thursday condemned the bomb blasts in Assam and said the terror attack highlighted the need to take action against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
“It (terror attack) again highlights the issue of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants in the country,” said in Delhi.
"I believe that these blasts are symbolic of the sense of insecurity in the country. This also proves the total failure of the government in combating terrorism," said Advani while alleging that the UPA administration was “soft” on terror.
The BJP has been criticising the government, saying it was not taking effective steps to stop illegal immigrants from Bangladesh “involved in operating (terrorist) sleeper cells in various parts of India”.
At least 50 people were killed and more than 100 injured in a string of explosions in Assam, including four in the heart of the state's main city of Guwahati.
