Guwahati: The pro-talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) on Thursday raised alarm against the vested forces working on behalf of illegal migrants swarming Assam with an attempt to expand their influence in political, social and economic spheres in Assam.
The ULFA faction said these vested forces were using their national and international network to carry out their design to defame indigenous population in the State.
They called upon all indigenous communities in the State to unite against such sinister design.
Spokes person of the ULFA (pro-talks) faction, Mrinal Hazarika, expresses deep concern over the sense of insecurity gripping the students and people of Assam living in Southern and Western States of the country.
Fearing attack on them, as a reprisal to the recent spell of violence in Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) areas in Assam involving Bodo tribe and religious minority community.
They demanded that Government of India and Assam government must take steps for security of people from Assam living outside the State.
The ULFA leader said, “We under the pain of Bodo tribe people at this juncture. We appeal to them that they shouldn’t feel isolated. We are all with them.”
“We appeal to indigenous Muslim community in the state to take bold step to defeat the design of illegal migrants coming from foreign land.”
Meanwhile, influential All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) while demanding urgent steps from the Government of India to ensure safety of all people and students from Assam living in the rest of the country, accused the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) President and an MP from Assam Badruddin Ajmal for launching a malicious campaign in the rest of the State paining the recent violence in Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) a communal violence involving Hindus and Muslims which is far from the ground reality.
The AASU leader Dr Samujjal Bhattacharrya called upon Ajmol to do away with his design to spread communal hatred, over the violence and show his sincerity as a political leader for detection and deportation of illegal migrants from Bangladesh as per Assam Accord taking March, 1971 as a cutoff date for the purpose.
