Bdeshi daily dwells on atrocities on Hindus
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Aug 1: The Lok Jagaran Mancha, Asom, claimed that the over three
crore Hindu population of Bangladesh in 1971, when the country got
independence, has been reduced to about one crore within a period of just 36
years, mainly due to atrocities on them by the majority community of that
country.
It may be mentioned here that in its August 1 issue, the Dainik Bhorer Kagaj, a
Bengali daily being published from Bangladesh, published a front-page report
stating the oppression that the minority Hindus in that country had to face at
the hands of the Muslims. Citing enough evidence in favour of the alleged
atrocities on Hindus by the majority community there, the Bangladeshi daily
said that it was impossible on the part of the Bangladesh Government to sustain
a democratic system and society if it continued to keep black laws that were
amended in the Fifth and Eighth amendments to the Constitution of that country.
Because of the black laws in place, the Hindus in Bangladesh are subjected to
oppression, and in order to create a liberal democracy in the country, the
Bangladesh Government has to take some concrete steps, failing which the
country will be branded as communal, the daily said.
The daily further said that Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minority and
the Foundation against Continuing Terrorism organized photo exhibitions and
seminars in Washington on July 30 and 31 this year on the religious minority
and their condition in Bangladesh. The speakers at the seminar, such as
Bangladeshi human rights activist and writer Shahriar Kabir, Frank Pyaloni of
the US, Iliana Basu, Dr Amalendu Chatterjee, Bangladeshi freedom fighter Sachin
Karmakar, president of Hindu, Buddha and Christian Coordination Committee Rup
Kumar Bhowmik, Bangladeshi human rights leader Shitangshu Haque and others,
said that if Bangladesh failed to stop the atrocities on its minorities, the
nation would turn into a country of Islamic militants.
Wage a war against Bdeshis
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Aug 1: The Lok Jagaran Mancha, Asom, has appealed to the Asomiyas to
wage a war against the Bangladeshis staying in the State.
Talking to newsmen in the city today, Lok Jagaran Mancha chief convenor Doyal
Krishna Bora said: If the Asomiyas want to live in Asom, they have to adopt
two strategies every Asomiya should adopt measures so that no Bangaldeshi can
enter his or her area. If there are reports of any intrusion of Bangaldeshis
into any area, the local people should take them to the police for necessary
legal action. The people should also put pressure on the State and Central
Governments over the Bangaldeshi issue so as to compel the Governments to take
the help of Army or police against the Bangladeshis staying in the State.
Bora also said Dhubri, where the Muslim population touched 78 per cent, has
become the training centre of fundamentalist groups like the MULFA. These
fundamentalist groups have been imparting training to youths for turning Asom
into an Islamic state, Bora said, adding that said since 1905 a conspiracy was
hatched to form an Islamic State in Asom and the North-east driving the
Asomiyas and Hindus away.
On the recent AAMSU threat and its U-turn later, Bora said: The AAMSUs regret
for hurting the sentiment of the Asomiyas is also a plan.
