Book of Integration Council New - Ministry of Home Affairs

other about our vote share. Even today. All along has been is a fight against the
BODOs and the illegal infilteration. Where? I can challenge that areas there is no
infilteration, may be few are there but question has been gone, infilteration has been
going on. It is not a fight against the illegal migrants, they have been together, they have
been living together for hundreds of years. They are not recruit. You will not find
anybody who is killed or houses have been burned or anybody in the camps are the
foreigners. But still all these propaganda has been going on. So that create a
misunderstanding, that create a hatered also. This is the type of propaganda that
should be stopped. I don’t blame Rajnath Singh, may be they have gone into, gone to
the facts and figures. Some propaganda has been going on in Assam. I can sit
together. I can discuss with everybody and I can prove myself also. I have no hesitation
also. Thus definitely we are against infilteration, we don’t allow any infilterator to stay
also, thus no doubt about it. But to create such a misunderstanding, hatred is one of the
reason. Otherwise all along we have been living peacefully. All along. Only in 1983,
there was a clashes because of these things after that yes, once and recently only. In
2001, there has been no clashes between one group and another muslims also and that
also confined to two districts of the 27 districts. There is a large number of Muslim
population in Assam, 31%, still we have been living peacefully. During the time Id was
there, Pooja was there, everything passed very peacefully, everybody joined together
also, in one part yes Bodo part that feeling is there. That feeling is not only against
Muslims. Earlier there was a clashes against adivasi also, because Bodos feel that their
lands have been grabbed by others. All the Bodos are not against the Muslim all along.
They felt out also. That this tribal bill protection was not even a fact also. It is not
protected properly but subsequently we have decided that those areas, yes to see the
interest of tribals, we have decided by the accord also that those who have been enjoying
the rights, they will continue to enjoy it. Subsequently of course but one group of
BODO, they did not support us also. Though we are in ceasefire also. But I must tell
within 72 hrs. we will be able to bring the situation under full control. For last 6 days,
no incident has taken place. Initially, yes, difficulty was there. So I had to rush back the
forces, like the forces from the centre also. But in 72 hours. situation was brought.
It has not spread to anything, with Christian people having get best of relations, with
Buddhist we have best of relations, muslim also. Even already I ordered for the CBI
enquiry also. Even my S.P. was also I suspended. DC was also transferred. I did not
hesitate to take action where there is derelication of duty. So I appeal to all those
people, Mr. Rajnath Singh, please don’t make exaggerations, like it is an external
aggression. Where is any external aggression, then say internal aggression. We will not
allow anything to. For external Government of India is prepared to resist the external
aggression and internal aggression, our government is committed. We will provide
protection to every religion, everyone, will do a justice.
Thank you very much.
