SIVASAGAR, June 20 � BJP State Executive, in its two-day meeting being held in Sivasagar since yesterday, today blamed the Congress for the alarming change in demographic pattern in the State with a sharp rise in Muslim population as against Hindus and indigenous ethnic tribes.
In a resolution adopted in its meeting , BJP claims that there has been 6.34p.c. rise in Muslim population between 1971-2001 whereas there was 7.61 per cent fall in Hindu population during the period due to unabated influx of about 58 lakh Bangladeshi Muslims. The resolution points out that the State Government under Congress turned out to be their saviour and protector and now they are exerting their influence in the State politics.
The BJP state president Ranjit Dutta, in a media conference held in Sivasagar Natya Mandir today, expressed his apprehensions that the results of the ongoing Census operation in the State will expose the fatal consequence of Congress misrule and indifference as there will be a total change of demographic pattern . He said that lakhs of illegal migrants have already included their names in the National Population Register (NPR) in the first phase of the population census work which in a way would entitle them to claim citizenship . The local Muslim population is totally outnumbered now and the results of the ongoing census will show the fatal consequence of Congress misrule and indifference to the foreigners issue.
Out of the 1704 Bangladeshis detected in Sivasagar alone between 2005-2009 , only 7 could be deported. BJP state Committee has demanded that the ongoing census operation in the State should be stopped untill the 1951 NPR is upgraded. BJP also condemned State Government�s lack of interest in evicting lakhs of illegal land grabbers in Kaziranga, and other Tribal belt areas . BJP also demanded that all sorts of atrocities on Hindu D voters must be stopped .
In another resolution, BJP demanded State Government must take urgent steps to stop all encroachment on Assam land totaling 86,675,62 hactares by nationals of neighbouring states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal, Meghalaya and West Bengal, bring back sense of security to the people of boarder areas and settle disputes as per Survey of India�s map.
Dutta said in the press meet that the Tarun Gogoi Government has opened a new department which is known as the Department of Corruption and whoever can do record breaking feat through corruption, is given a hero�s status. Mentioning about the Rs 1000 crore scam in North Cachar Hills, BJP Executive Committee termed Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi as the kingpin of the scam and urged upon the CBI to expedite the investigation into the multi-crore-rupees scam.
In another resolution, the BJP called upon the Government to initiate dialogue with all insurgent groups in the State for permanent peace without adopting double standards in its approach and at the same time called upon all groups including ULFA to show sincerity for a dialogue keeping in view the peoples desire . To tackle the endemic flood problem in the State, BJP called upon the State Government to prepare a master plan with suggestions of expert panel from the Centre.
