BHUBANESWAR: Demanding effective steps to check Bangladeshi infiltration into the country, the Rastriya Surakhya Mancha (RSM) staged a massive dharna and demonstration at the Lower PMG here on Sunday. Expressing grave concern over the Assam violence, The Manch appealed the North-East peoples to not to get panic as they are not alone but the entire country is with them.

Taking the lead of the demonstration, RSM State Coordinator Mahesh Mishra said the present situation in Assam that erupted on July 20 is not an isolated or sudden one, but it is another episode in the series of such violent incidents took place earlier. There have been conflicts leading to wide spread violence in the past due to a large presence of illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators, he added.

The members said the ever increasing number of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators has not only disturbed peace and amity in the region but created socio-economic and political problems also. It is an irony that people have to live in refugee camps in their own country because of hostilities from foreigners, they added.

The Manch members demanded the Government should implement all effective steps immediately to check the infiltration from Bangladesh and to detect them here, delete their names from electoral lists and to deport back in order to put a permanent halt to this problem. Also, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be prepared without further delay and non-citizens should be treated accordingly, the demanded.
