Dhaka: The Indian government is thinking about sealing off Indo-Bangladesh border completely, Economic Times reported on Thursday quoting the country’s home minister Rajnath Singh.

‘Influx has been continuing ever since Bangladesh was created. I have visited the international border areas with Bangladesh and will soon completely seal Indo-Bangladesh border. I held talks with the Bangladesh government,’ the minister was quoted as saying while addressing a rally in the Indian state of Assam.

Rajnath also added: ‘The border has remained unfenced. I wonder why Congress could not fence the border and allowed unabated influx from Bangladesh into Assam.’
