[ALOCHONA] Deportation of Indian Bengali Hindus into Bangladesh by BSF

Deportation of Indian Bengali Hindus into Bangladesh by BSF
 
BADARPUR, Nov 4 – Expressing grave concern over the Border Security Force (BSF) pushing back Indian-origin Bengali Hindu residents from Assam into Bangladesh by dubbing them as illegal aliens, the Karimganj district committee of BJP has resolved to seek justice in the matter by moving the Supreme Court.
 
Addressing a press meet here recently, the Karimganj district BJP president Biswaroop Bhattacharyya along with top party functionaries claimed that foreigner tribunals had been intentionally harassing Indian-origin Hindu Bengalis by terming them as foreign nationals.

Condemning such incidents by taking both the INC-led State Government and BSF to task, the party cited the case of Dinesh Chandra Saha and his family, who were residents of Hojai since long. Despite possessing valid documents to prove their citizenship status, the family was hounded out of India through the Mahisasan border outpost in Karimganj district, they said. The BJP will build up a massive people's movement in this regard, the press meet was told.

Coming down heavily on the Tarun Gogoi Government for failing to protect the interests of indigenous citizens, the saffron brigade questioned the rationale behind granting official documents to laymen if such papers did not serve any purpose.

The press meet was also addressed by MLA Mission Ranjan Das, district-level BJP general secretaries Sudhangshu Ranjan Das and Subrata Bhattacharyya, besides district Mahila Morcha president Pratima Chakraborty and vice president Basanti Dey, State Yuva Morcha vice president Sudip Chakraborty, district Yuva Morcha president Rajiv Sinha, and several others.

In the meantime, castigating the BJP and other political parties for their studied silence on the issue of pushing back Indian citizens into Bangladesh by the BSF in the name of deporting illegal aliens, the Hindu Milan Mancha (HMM) too threatened to undertake a mass agitation provided the Government did not stop the process forthwith.
Close on the heels of the district BJP, the HMM too addressed a press meet at Kalibari here. The move to deport Indian Hindu Bengali families from the soil of Assam in the guise of pushing back foreign nationals was a ploy of the State Government to hoodwink the citizens, the Hindu Milan Mancha members claimed.

AUDF supremo Badruddin Ajmal too is on record to have demanded detection and deportation of illegal foreign nationals. Several prominent citizens and intellectuals too expressed surprise over the lackadaisical attitude of different political parties towards this grave problem. (Courtesy: Assam Tribune)
