[edit] Existence

I highly doubt the existence of this group at this moment, given that no contemporary media (as shown via Lexis-Nexis) discusses any activities of the group (other than the occasional rhetoric from Anti-India groups in Bangladeshi political parties). So, references about any current existence or activities of the group should be provided to justify the recreation of the deleted article. --Ragib 06:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry, didn't know it was deleted, I thought other people might just want to expand it. I've found some occurences of the organization in news. It's very anti-Banga Sena mind you. [1] [2] [3] [4]. It appears to have some notability, the last article talks of 400 Banga Sena activists being held at the border. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 06:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

The last item is interesting, but as for the rest, it's the same old bargaining chip by BDR and govt. If you notice those, you'll find that the news are about someone alleging the existence of the group. But I haven't been able to find any other news items showing the activities of the group (except for the last one you mentioned). I know that back in the 1980s there was a group like this, but don't see anything about their continued existence into recent years. Thanks. --Ragib 06:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll leave it to your discretion, as I am from the other end (longitude wise) of the Indian subcontinent and don't know too much about this entire movement. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 02:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
