The current situation of Muslim killings in Assam (India)

on Wednesday, September 26, 2012

The ongoing problem of the killing of Muslims in Assam, India have been described as a, “planned ethnic cleansing of Muslims.” The minority community of Muslims in Assam is being cruelly killed. Muslim leaders have been greatly moved by the present conditions in Assam and are demanding the intervention of the Central Government. According to these Muslim leaders, Tarun Gogoi’s state Government has failed in protecting their innocent citizens in Assam. These Muslim leaders have condemned the Bengali speaking citizens and Bangladeshi settlers.

The police of Northeastern parts of the Assam state in India are arresting some local politicians as they are involved in some violence cases that have taken place recently in the state. BBC reports have announced that Pradeep Bharma, legislator of the state assembly, has been arrested recently in his own home. He is also the leader of the regional Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF). Almost 87 innocent people have been killed due to the ongoing fight among aboriginal Muslim settlers and the Bodo tribes in the state of Assam.

The members of the proscribed National self governing front of the Bodoland have killed a number of Muslims. At the same time, Muslims are going through violent demises similar to these in neighbouring Myanmar. Many Muslims of Bengali origin were killed in the uprisings of four western Assam districts. The Indian government has now called on the army and issued orders to control the violence now being faced.

There are a number of educational and social National Group Organizations (NGOs) involved. along with their leaders who strongly condemn the violence issues in Assam. They are urging central government immediately to take strict, strong actions to control the burning of Muslim villages and the killing of members of their communities.  The leaders of the NGOs who are administrating these actions have decried those unbalanced reports made by the media houses at Kokrajhar in Dhubri. They are intentionally making efforts to show that Muslims labeled as illegal settlers are actually the victims.

According to recent reports, when Muslims were attacked, killed and driven away from their residences in 1993 and 1994 from the Bodo trial, they were settled in these places after taking permissions from the Government. After some time, they built their own villages at these places. Later, homes were burned and people were killed. Now, the same conditions and same situations are faced by the Muslims in Assam.
