Guwahati, Aug 19 NNN : The Tarun Gogoi government on Sunday has taken up measures to thwart any force that might disrupt peace after the Id. On Sunday, the Assam chief minister while blaming the ‘outside forces in collaboration with certain internal forces’ for the present situation, has asked the top police officers of the state to be on alert always.
Meeting the three former police chiefs and the chief secretary and top administrative and police officials, Tarun Gogoi cautions that the administration should be in full gear to deal any slight trouble which may lead to escalate the situation.
Tarun Gogoi’s move came a day after New Delhi blamed a neighbour’s hand in the problem.
On Saturday, even as there has been exodus of North Easterners from other parts of India, there have been a counter-backlash threat from two Bodo organisations, including a militant outfit.
The pro-talks faction of the militant National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) and People’s Joint Action Committee for Bodoland Movement have vowed that no displaced Muslims will allowed to enter ‘Bodo areas’ again.
However, these two Bodo organisations’s resolution has been not without a condition.
They demanded that the Assam government updates the National Register of Citizens (NRC) first.
Leader of the Bodo militant outfit Gobinda Basumatary said that the migrants will be barred from entering Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) if the government refuses to update NRC by taking 1951 as the cut-off year and detect foreigners.
