NESO dares Assam Chief Minister    NET News Network  
  Guwahati, August 5: The North East Students Organization (NESO) has challenged the Assam chief minister to give a clarion call to all the suspected Bangladeshi nationals in the state to leave Assam on their own.  
  The Neso’s challenge came on Sunday after its two day general council meeting at Shillong from August 3, where the eight students’ bodies of the seven states decided to fight against the ongoing infiltration from Bangladesh together.  
  Neso adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya said that Assam government is protecting the ‘escaped suspected Bangladeshi nationals’ from Arunachal Pradesh and other states of the region for vote bank politics.  
  “The All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) issued quit notices to all the suspected Bangladeshi nationals in the state and about 25,000 people left the state immediately,” he said and added that how can Assam government own these people as Assamese.  
  “The Aapsu did not use any force to chase the people. The people left the state immediately after the quit notice. This indicates that the escaped people themselves admit them as Bangladeshi nationals, how can Assam chief minister term them as Assam’s population,” wondered Bhattacharyya.  
  Secretary general of the Neso Gumjum Haider, who also represents Aapsu, said, “It is ridiculous. Assam government owned those people who left our state after our quit notice to Bangladeshis. If they are genuine Indian people (and nor Bangladeshis) they should have rather stayed back in Arunachal Pradesh”.   
  Bhattacharyya said that AAPSU has given quit notices suspected Bangladeshis and the state government had supported them. “It is shameful that the state government here has been protecting those Bangladeshis for strengthening its vote banks,” he said and added that we challenge the chief minister to give a clarion call. 
  The NESO in the two day meeting also unanimously decided to fight for three causes good education, good educational institutional and good employment for the youth. “Besides we have also decided to demand for a separate education commission for the northeast,” he said.  
  “We are also demanding to all the state governments to implement Inner Line Permit in all the northeastern states which is expected to stop the infiltration,” said Bhattacharyya.
