Book of Integration Council New - Ministry of Home Affairs

there, two groups also, in Bengali Tiger Group, Adiwasi Tiger Groups and among the
Tribal GPDS, DHDS, ALNA. So all sorts of terrorist movements are there. The reason
for terrorist movement definitely is feeling of deprivation, backwardness, no doubt
about it. That have this is number one and that is what reason which we are given top
most priority for economic development. Today because of the various measures taken,
the insurgency has been contained to a great extent today. Infact almost all the groups
have come to a ceasefire, except one, ULFA also. That is no doubt about it. Infact one
group of BLT, the BODO group, we came to a agreement also. That also today part
of Ministry also and thus no doubt about the all genesis of the problems started when,
when the foreigners agitation was started by the AASU. That time all along, earlier we
have been living both Muslims and Hindus or Buddhists and Christians very-very peacefully.
Assam is a place for this …………………………… there is a two great saints
one is Muslim, one is Hindu, what both are preaching is a communal harmony. You did
not find any dis- harmony, any misunderstanding. Misunderstanding started when they
started a foreigners issue, they give the impression, the all the Muslims are foreigners,
that was the reason for which it created a lot of problems. No doubt about it. Before
that there was no suspicion or misunderstanding. Then Rajivji, of course, realized about
importence. He came to an agreement, that is in 1985. It was decided that upto 1971
March, those, who came to Assam all will be regularised also and those who came after
1971, all will be rejected, all will be deported. We are very very much committed to it.
But still today the all sorts of propaganda has been going on. Just now I listened to
respected Rajnath Singh. He has been calling an external aggression, where is external
aggression. How many foreigners are there. I can challenge you with everybody, what
are the census figure. Census figure of 2001. There was a growth of Assam is 3%
list. How could you tell that the large scale infiltrations, yes infiltrations are there. But
to give them impression, it is threatening identity of the local people. It is a more
and more regretted. Even Advaniji recently also, repeatedly and of course I don’t,
fact is when they were also in power they did not take any step also, to check their infiltration
from Bangladesh. It is our government which took there all the steps to check
the infiltration. Home Minister himself visited all the state, nobody bothered to take
step also and today we are committed to. Even for the final solution also. We increased
the border outpost. How can you stop the infiltration? If you know, not take effective
measures, who took the effective measures. It is we, who took the effective
measures but inspite of that all allegation has been going on, then we have decided to
have a national register of citizens also. For final solution also. So that nobody can go
on accusing us, and all long they have been accusing us, in order to appease Muslim
also, these are not fact, how many seats I have won in 2001, thirteen we got. Another
it got opposition also. Today large number of opposition voted against us. Not
the question of a Hindu, Muslim. Question is a commitment. We are committed
to protect the citizens of India, who ever he may be. Whether he is a Bengali,
whether he is a Muslim, or anybody, that is our commitment. We don’t
