A state BJP delegation met Governor Tripathi and submitted a deputation in this regard.
"We would appeal to you to advise the state government to be more vigilant about militant activities that are taking place in the state and to ensure that militants from Bangladesh are not provided shelter in West Bengal," BJP said.
The state government should also start finding out "millions of Bangladeshi infiltrators" residing in West Bengal, the deputation said.
