The All Assam Students Union (AASU) on Wednesday has decided and declared a vigorous and continuous agitation across the State against the Central and the State Government for failing to deport illegal Bangladeshi migrants even after the scrapping of the IM(DT) Act nearly three years back. The IM(DT) Act was scrapped on July 12 in 2005 by Supreme Court of India acting on the petition of former AASU president Sarbananda Sonowal.
Addressing media persons, the functionaries of the student body, adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya, president Sankar Prasad Rai and general secretary Tapan Kumar Gogoi warned that the AASU would resist all attempts to provide safeguard to the illegal Bangladeshis. “The Congress Government has failed to honour the verdict of the Supreme Court which has compelled us to start our agitation again to save Assam from the Bangladeshis,” said Dr Bhattacharya regretting that the Congress Government has totally ignored the crucial issues like sealing the border, providing constitutional safeguards to the indigenous communities in the State, update of the NRC and implementation of the provisions of the Assam Accord.
Bhattacharya informed that from July 12 the agitational programme of the student body would commence, the day of the Supreme Court ruling in connection to the IM(DT) Act.
