The Assam Police on Sunday said Bangladeshi clerics are violating tourist visa norms by organising religious meets in remote areas of the state. A day after 17 Bangladeshi nationals were arrested in Assam's Biswanath district, the police said that clerics from the neighbouring country are radicalising young men of the state. The Assam government had written to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which deals with the issuance of visas, about such incidents and many Bangladeshi clerics have been banned from the state for repeatedly violating visa norms.
