IM(DT) shows axom hindu as anti muslims; AGP

GUWAHATI, April 5: Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) president Brindaban Goswami today said that Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind president Moulana Asad Madani might have discovered some weak points of the ruling Congress in the State, and even there might be a secret pre-poll understanding between the Congress and the Jamiat which had prompted the Jamiat leader to threaten Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi that he (Madani) would topple the State Government if the 18-point charter of demands of the religious body was not met within six months. On the IM(DT) Act, the AGP president said that with the imposition of the Act only in Assam in the country, the Congress projected the people of the State as ‘criminals’ before the world.
Talking to The Sentinel today, Goswami said: "I don’t want to meddle in an issue which purely concerns the Congress and the Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind. I just want to send a clear message to all that nobody should dare to disturb the age-old communal harmony among various ethnic groups, including the minority, in the State." He added that Gogoi was receiving such threats because he had no stand of his own, and that the Government he was heading in the State had no solutions to the problems afflicting the State. He blamed the Congress for the current unrest among the tea tribes, the Koch-Rajbongshis, the minorities and others in the State, and said that the need of the hour was to launch a movement for social unity and communal harmony in the State. "The AGP is working towards that end," he added.
"Since the IM(DT) Act is in force nowhere in the nation except Assam, the people elsewhere in the nation and the world are in the wrong notion that the Assamese are notorious for harassing the minority," he said, adding that the imposition of the Act projected the people of Assam as anti-minority. Making the AGP’s stand on the IM(DT) Act clear, he said: "The IM(DT) Act should be repealed, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be updated by including the names of those who entered Assam before March 25, 1971 and their progenies and identity cards should be issued to the citizens." He said that majority of people belonging to the minority community in the State mingled themselves with the mainstream Assamese society but the Congress was making a desperate attempt to disturb the harmony by retaining the IM(DT) Act.
One should not forget that the founding fathers of AGP were the artitech of IM(DT) , and AGP had political bond with BJP , and both ( AGP and BJP ) were partners .
