The Hindu : National : Assam minorities hoodwinked, says Front Quoting from the judgment of Supreme Court, UMF president Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury said the court had pointed out that the Assam Government counsel had not pressed for withdrawal of the affidavit submitted by the AGP Government and that the new affidavit filed by the State Government may be treated as "an additional affidavit." GUWAHATI: The United Minorities Front (UMF) on Sunday alleged that the Tarun Gogoi-led Congress Government had never pressed for the withdrawal of the affidavit submitted by the previous Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) Government, which sought the scrapping of the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Act 1983. Accusing the Congress of "hoodwinking the minorities," he said the Government had not argued the case with facts and figures and opposed the striking down of the Act only because the party had made a promise in the election manifesto. www.hindu.com /2005/07/25/stories/2005072502281300.htm   (509 words)

Indiainfo.com -> News -> India -> Muslim ministers in Assam threaten to quit Guwahati: The ruling Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) government in Assam is facing a serious revolt with senior Muslim ministers threatening to quit over the AGP's support for repealing a controversial statute that purportedly safeguards the rights of the minorities. The Assam government had joined the federal government in filing separate petitions for scrapping the Act.

Nagalim.NL News GUWAHATI, June 17: The territorial integrity of Assam, which is entangled in a number of boundary disputes with its neighbours like Nagaland, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, is at stake, and for this none other than the successive governments in the State should be blamed for their utter negligence towards the uplift of border areas. The Assam Governor, who had led ‘Operation Bajrang’ and ‘Operation Rhino’ in the early 90s in Assam against ULFA militants, also asked the Centre to make an assessment of the “genuineness of desire” of the outfit to prevent them from using the opportunity to regroup. It may be mentioned here that the Centre, the Assam Government and the NDFB had entered a ceasefire with effect from June 1 for the next one year to pave the way for talks to bring peace in Bodoland. www.nagalim.nl /news/archive-062005.html   (393 words)

Outrage in Assam Hence the growing consensus in Assam, the State through which the major part of the NFR runs, that local youth/ "indigenous" youth should get preference for jobs in the NFR, as indeed in other Central government undertakings situated, or having their offices in the State. Such concern is natural because events in Assam - and Bihar- have an impact going beyond what happens to the people of these States and the region, with implications for the national economy and the agenda of the unimpeded integration, on unequal terms, of the national economy into the global economy. Within days, passengers from Assam and other parts of the northeastern region travelling in trains passing through Bihar- all trains going westwards to destinations in the rest of the country have to pass through Bihar and West Bengal- were assaulted, one woman was reportedly molested. www.flonnet.com /fl2025/stories/20031219006800800.htm   (2475 words)

POLITICS OF INFILTRATION - A Threat to Socio-cultural Identity of Assam? In the absence of any definite policy of the Government, the infiltration gradually assumed an alarming proportion and the aliens became politically so strong that no political party in this state is in a position to form the government without their support. Muslim populations in Assam considerably decreased in 1947 partly due to inclusion of Sylhet in Pakistan and also return of sizeable number of earlier immigrants to their original land due to fear of backlash. But the North Eastern region of the country in general and Assam in particular have been experiencing the area being utilised as the dumping ground for a large numbers of foreigners being vomited out by a neighbouring country since a long time. www.saag.org /papers16/paper1557.html   (3798 words)

AsiaSource Interview with Professor Sanjib Baruah Third, before 1874, Assam was ruled as part of Bengal and, until 1873, Bengali was the language of the courts and government schools in Assam. Assam, one of seven states in India's northeast, has been home to a militant separatist movement since 1979, and unlike the conflicts in either Kashmir or even Punjab, the uprising in Assam has received little media attention both at home and abroad. The Assam movement of 1979-85 — a campaign that protested what the supporters described as a de facto policy of admitting and enfranchising "foreigners" -- is certainly an important watershed in the political history of Assam. www.asiasource.org /news/special_reports/assam.cfm   (2796 words)
