Veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani Tuesday blamed illegal
immigration of people from Bangladesh into Assam for the communal violence in
the state.
Advani, who is touring the state, said at a press conference
that there was a "criminal delay" by the government in handling the
crisis.
The over week-long violence from July 19 between the Bodos
and the Bengali-speaking Muslim settlers left 56 dead and lakhs homeless.
"Today's situation arose firstly because of a criminal
delay in dealing with the situation when symptoms were already there that
something could happen. But as I said, the introspection must lead to
identification of the root cause, which is this issue of illegal immigration
from Bangladesh," Advani said.
"As a result of the infiltration in collusion of state
government and government of India, people of Assam are feeling that they are
losing control over their own land while illegal Bangladeshis have embarked
upon large-scale land grab," Advani said.
"The second is the ethnic problem. The Bodos face the
threat of marginalisation in their own land," he said.
"The third problem is the demographic change taking
place in Assam," he said.
Comparing the situation of the displaced in Assam with that
of the displaced Kashmiri Pundits, Advani said: "I would like the prime
minister (Manmohan Singh), Congress president (Sonia Gandhi) and state
government of Assam to honestly introspect as to where the guilt lies. How did
all this happen?"

the media will never talk about the ethnic cleansing and massacre of pandits in Kashmir. media will never talk about the genocide of hindus in pakistan and bangladesh. pakistan was created for muslims. indian muslims stayed back. Ambedkar advocated exchange of population. gandhi and nehru vetoed it. now see the spectacle - crores of illegal immigrants enter India and they are welcomed with ration cards. vote bank politics. as long as vote bank politics is practised, there is no hope for our country. hindu-muslim trouble will continue
