Rid region of Bangladeshis: AASU, NESO
>From Satananda Bhattacharjee
HAILAKANDI, Aug 10 The leaders of All Assam Students Union (AASU) and
North East Students Organisation (NESO) on Thursday reiterated their demand
to make the north-eastern states Bangladeshi-free. Addressing a huge public
meeting at Algapur, 9 km from here organised on the occasion of the 3 rd
annual conference of the Hailakandi unit of AASU, the student leaders of
Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Mizoram and Manipur led by AASU advisor
and president of NESO, Dr. Samujjal Kumar Bhattacharyya, said that Assam has
become overburdened with the illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators. They said that
the Barak Valley is the hub of illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
Dr Bhattacharyya clarified that their movement is not against the Bengalis or
indigenous Muslims and said that AASUs fight is exclusively against the
illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators, those who entered Assam after March 25,
1971, as it is changing the democratic pattern of the State as well as the
region.
It may be mentioned here that the visit to Hailakandi of Dr. Samujjal
Bhattacharyya became uncertain a few days back after the fatwa of All Assam
Madarsa Students Assaociation (AMSA) that they will prevent the entry of AASU
leaders for their communal feelings towards Muslims. However the fatwa was
lifted later. Heavy security arrangements were also made by the district
administration in Hailakandi considering the threat of the AMSA to prevent the
ban on the entry of Dr. Samujjal Bhattacharyya.
