‘GUWAHATI, March 21: Rekibuddin Ahmed, president of Assam Pradesh Youth Congress Committee, has alleged that the AGP was indulging in a dangerous design to carve out an Islamic nation through its minority cell.
Mr Ahmed urged the people of the State to stay united and thwart the AGP design. He termed the minority convention of the Asom Gana Parishad, held recently in the city, as an electoral gimmick.
In a press note to the media, the youth Congress president termed the AGP show of concern towards the minorities a hogwash. ‘‘Why has the AGP forgotten its tie-up with the Bharatiya Janata Party in the State,’’ he queried and said that right before its inception as a party, the founding-fathers of the AGP were against the minorities.
He said that the Assam agitation against the foreigners was nothing but a way of torturing the Muslim population of Assam and a ploy for expelling them from Assam. He said that incidents like this will never go out of the memories of the minorities.
He also alleged that in the name of agitation, some of the top leaders of the party had orchestrated massacres like the ones at Gohpur and Nellie.
He said that because the party is in doldrums now, it is trying to sympathize with the minorities and talking about their development. Mr Ahmed also termed the AGP attempt of repealing the IM(DT) Act as an anti-minority stand of the party. He claimed that it was because of the Congress that the IM(DT) was still in force in the State and that the minorities are not being harassed, and are able to live a dignified life.
