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.
