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.
