Dated,
Kokrajhar, 30th July 2012
Subject: A memorandum for urgent intervention to stop
the on-going communal clashes in Boroland Territorial Council and other parts
of western Assam.
Most respected Sir,
Namaskar!
We
the undersigned for and on behalf of Peoples’ Joint Action Committee for
Boroland Movement (PJACBM), a conglomeration of 52 organisations of all the
ethnic communities living in the northern bank of Brahmaputra and on behalf of
peace loving common people of Assam would like to appreciate and thank you for
your kind visit to this riot hit Kokrajhar in Boroland Territorial Council of
Assam in this needy hour for confidence rebuilding for peace and harmony among
different sections of people. While
appreciating your kind visit, we would like to draw the following serious facts
for your kind attention and necessary urgent intervention.
As you are aware
of the fact that an unfortunate incidents of communal clash between the simple,
straight forward and peace loving Boro Indigenous People and hostile migrants
settlers belonging to religious Muslim Community provoked and aided by some
miscreants across the Indo-Bangla boarder is erupting in the Bodoland
Territorial Council (BTC) and other parts of western Assam. This incident broke
out suddenly and took communal colour following the gruesome murders of four
Boro Indigenous youths by some unidentified miscreants belonging to Muslim
Community at Jaipur, a Muslim village which is just one kilometer away from the
Kokrajhar Police station on 19 July at about 8 pm, reportedly instigated by
some armed anti-social elements who have penetrated from across the
international boarder through Dhubri and took shelter in the Muslim dominated villages
to deliberately create social tension inciting for communal violence between
the native Boros and the migrant shelters.
That Sir, the
situation has turned out to be very serious and worsening day by day spreading
in other parts of Assam which have already claimed more than 60 innocent lives
belonging to both communities. Several villages are burnt down and more than
4,000, 00 people are rendered homeless who are presently taking shelter in more
than 250 relief camps after being forced to flee their homes for their lives. Though,
the present situation appeared to be improving slightly but internally remained
alarming due to lack of adequate security arrangement and failure of the local
administration to tackle the situation effectively, especially failure to nib
the continued provocations to indulge in communal clashes by the reportedly
presence of external forces in the Muslim dominated villages.
That Sir, we
strongly feel that the outbreak of this violence is mainly due to a deep
political conspiracy hatched by certain anti-social elements who have been
conspiring to divide the people in BTC of Assam in community lines and to
incite for communal violence to destabilise the emotional integration, peace
and tranquility among the different sections of the people living in the
present BTC areas. The formation of so called democratic organization by name
and style of “Ana Boro Suraskya Samity (Non Boro Protection Forum) and its activities in connivance with its
communal member organizations like All Minority Students’ Union (AMSU) and All
Bodoland Minority Students’ Union (ABMSU) have been systematically propagating
and instigating all the communal forces to isolate the peace loving Boro Indigenous
People and directing communal forces to target and attack on the Boros in the Bodoland
Territorial Council areas. The modus
operandi of inciting the communal hatred of those anti Boro organisations is same
as those of Talibans in other parts of the world. They have been carrying out systematic
hatred campaigns not only against the Boros but also have been conspiring to
involved other ethnic communities which is most unfortunate, condemnable and
against the human rights of the peace loving ethnic communities. The Boro
Indigenous People have been living in perfect peace for more than 5000 years in
their land and territories with other ethnic communities like Garos, Rabhas,
Rajbongshis, Barman-Kacharis, Tiwas, Karbis and many other natives. But it is a serious concern for peace loving
Indigenous People of Assam today to witness the unabated formation and growth of
such communal organizations with their ugly intension of fueling social tension
which is against the spirit of a plural society and threat to the unity, peace
and tranquility among different sections of the people and a serious threat to
the integrity of the nation.
That Sir, we
strongly feel that the present situation is compounded due to an evil design
and a systematic deep political conspiracy of certain anti tribal elements not
only to defunct the present BTC administration but also to sabotage the
on-going forty five years legitimate peaceful democratic movement of the Boro
Indigenous people for separate state of Boroland and to derail the on-going
peace dialogue between the NDFB (P) and
the Government of India.
That Sir, we
would like to affirm you that the ongoing communal clash is nothing but a
direct result of the conspiracy and provocation of the said communal Taliban like
forces with an ugly design to turn Assam to be another Kashmir who have stooped
so low not only to create serious low and order situation and subsequent
communal clashes threatening the lives and properties of the common peoples
living in the BTC areas but also to experiment their long term strategy of
jihadi style of aggression of Assam.
We therefore, on
behalf of the Peoples’ Joint Action Committee and on behalf of the peace loving
Indigenous Peoples of Assam and all the ethnic communities of proposed Boroland
strongly urge your honour to urgently intervene in the matters to:
1) stop the burning situation of communal clashes
immediately;
2) arrest the culprits involved in designing and fomenting
the communal clashes;
3) order a CBI inquiry to investigate the whole matters
leading to communal violence;
4) provide adequate security arrangement in sensitive areas and to provide immediate sufficient relief materials
including food, drinking water, clothes and
medicines in the
relief camps of communal clashes belonging to both communities;
5) provide adequate compensation to the
bereaved families and injured victims of
communal clashes;
6. stop
unabated influx of Bangladeshi migration into Assam and identify and deport
all the illegal settlers in Assam;
7. clear the Tribal Belts and Blocks from illegal
encroachers in Assam;
8. update NRC of Assam on the base year of 1951.
Looking forward
to having your serious consideration and urgent intervention.
Sincerely yours,
