To stop the on-going communal clashes in Bodoland



To,
Shri P. Chidambaram
Union Home Minister of India
North Block, New Delhi-110001
Phone No- 23017256, 230411, Fax- 23017580
Dated, Kokrajhar, 23rd July 2012
Through the Deputy Commissioner, Kokrajhar, BTC (Assam)
Subject:  A memorandum for urgent intervention to stop the on-going communal clashes in Bodoland Territorial Council and other parts of Assam.

Most respected Sir,
With reference to the subject cited above, we the undersigned for and on behalf of Peoples’ Joint Action Committee for Boroland Movement (PJACBM) would like to draw the following serious facts for your kind information and necessary urgent intervention.
As you are aware of the fact that presently unfortunate  incidents of on-going communal clashes between the Indigenous Boro people and migrants settlers belonging to religious Muslim Community are rupturing in the Bodoland Territorial Council areas and other parts of western Assam. The incident broke out suddenly and took communal color following the gruesome murders of four Boro youths by some unidentified miscreants belonging to Muslim Community at Jaipur, 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 come from other parts of BTC and took shelter to deliberately create social tension inciting for communal violence between the local Boros and the migrant shelters belonging to Muslim community.
That Sir, the situation is very fragile and burning which have already claimed more than 20 innocent lives belonging to both the communities, several villages are burnt down and more than sixty thousand peoples are now taking settler in more than 26 relief camps after  being forced to flee their homes for their lives. The present situation appeared to be out of control as the incidents of violence are  rather growing  than being brought under control due to lack of adequate security arrangement and total failure of the local Administration to tackle the situation effectively.
That Sir we strongly feel that the outbreak of violence  is mainly due to a deep political conspiracy hatched by certain anti-social elements who have been conspiring  to divide the people in community lines and to create 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 Non-Boro Suraskya Samity and its activities in connivance with its communal member organizations have been propagating and instigating to directly attack the Boros in the Bodoland Territorial Council areas since the formation of the said organization with their clear motives of carrying out hatred campaigns against a particular community i.e. the Boros which is most unfortunate, condemnable and against the human rights of the peace loving Indigenous Boro people to co-exist in peace with others.  It is very unfortunate to see such communal organizations in a democratic country like of ours which are against the spirit of a plural society and threat to the unity, peace and tranquility.
We also 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 peaceful, democratic movement of the Boro Indigenous people for separate state of Boroland and to derail the on-going peace dialoged   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 forces who have stooped so low to create a serious low and order situation and subsequent communal violence threatening the lives and properties of the common peoples living in the areas in perfect peace and harmony in the past.
We therefore, on behalf of 52 member organization of the Peoples’ Joint Action Committee and on behalf of the peace loving people of the proposed separate state of Boroland, strongly urge your office to urgently intervene in the matters to:
1)      stop  the burning situation of communal clashes immediately;
2)      arrest the culprits involved in 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 the communities;
5)      provide adequate compensation to the bereaved families and injured victims of communal clashes.
Looking forward to having your urgent intervention.
Sincerely yours,
