In an article in The Indian Express on 28 July 2012 , he blamed illegal immigration from Bangladesh for the 2012 Assam violence . He mentioned that even Election Commission is faced with this problem by saying , " Even the Election Commission of India is not immune to this problem . It has to tackle the problem of D-Voters ( doubtful voters ) , numbering approximately 1.5 lakh , while preparing the electoral rolls of Assam . The subject matter is sub-judice . This also poses a very serious security threat to the country . It is advisable that these pending cases lying in various courts and tribunals be disposed of quickly and within a definite timeframe . People who are found to be illegal migrants by these tribunals should be deported . Unless this basic issue of illegal migration into the country is resolved , the problem is bound to recur from time to time and in place to place . "
