Post-’71 illegal migrants  must go: AASU
By A City  Correspondent
 GUWAHATI, July 29 — The All Assam Students Union (AASU) on  Sunday made it clear that it would not allow any illegal migrant to stay in the  State. The student body also declared that all the Bangladeshis who came to the  State after 1971 would have to leave the State. Functionaries of the student  body said that it would resist the moves of some quarters determined to convert  Assam and the North East into a greater Bangladesh. President of the student  body Sankar Prasad Rai, general secretary Tapan Kumar Gogoi and adviser Dr  Samujjal Bhattacharya said that the entire North East had become a haven for the  infiltrators posing a threat to the indigenous communities. “ If the unabated  influx is not stopped, very soon Assam will have a Bangladeshi Chief Minister,”  said the AASU functionaries, stressing that the issue of the illegal migrants  must be solved based on the Assam Accord.

It needs mention here that the  AASU has been demanding detention of the people of dubious citizenship entering  the State from Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland in temporary camps till  verification of the identity of the suspected nationals.

Slamming the  Centre and the State Government for their soft stand on the Bangladeshi issue,  the AASU made it clear that only the indigenous people have the right to  political power in the State.

On the other hand, the Bharatiya Janata  Party (BJP), Assam Pradesh today once again appealed to the people of the State  to be on the vigil against the illegal migrants. State president Ramen Deka,  while strongly criticizing organizations like the AAMSU, which has been  favouring the suspected nationals entering from Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland,  said that there was no place for a second Jinnah in the country. “ We are  keeping a close watch on the developments in the State regarding the Bangladeshi  issue,” said Deka. 

Deka further said that the left parties should make  their stand clear on the issue of influx in the interest of the State. “ The  left parties and the intellectuals should make public their views on the issue  of infiltration,” said Deka.

Taking a dig at Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi,  Deka said that vote bank politics has made Gogoi silent on the issue that has  been rocking the State.
