Only in India

As if we do not have enough troubles of our own and from others who are hell bent on causing trouble (read our negihbourhood terrorist organizations and states) we go around inviting trouble.

Why on earth should India host a non Indian whose presence is causing trouble. Let us not say that it is for freedom/ rights and similar blah... blah. Why is the Indian tax payer paying for a foreigner's stay in the country when there are enough and more indians who would like their government provide them enough to live? And, what is the total economic cost of this person's stay?

Maybe, the government views it this way - "We have a whole lot of Bangladeshis living here illegaly, so one more does not change the statistics much." I think even one is one too many.
