The forum, convened by Dr Rohini Kumar Baruah, Pranjal Saikia, Ajoy Dutta among others also said that the illegal migrants� problem is not just an issue of the BTAD area, but a problem concerning entire India.
�Starting from Gaon Panchayat to the political arena of the State, the representatives of these illegal migrants are trying to expand their base in the State. A comparative study of the demographic patterns of the State would reveal that there has been an obvious change in the population pattern,� a statement mentioned.
�It is a matter of great concern that a major section of the people of Assam is still not conscious about this threat to their existence.
