GUWAHATI: Proscribed militant outfit anti-talk faction of Ulfa on Tuesday warned a section of Hindu Bengali individuals and organizations and alleged that this section of people is trying to jeopardize the indigenous peoples’ movement against the New Delhi’s design to rehabilitate the Hindu Bengali foreigners in Assam through the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016.

The outfit in a statement to media houses warned of dire consequences if this section of people and organizations do not keep away from the New Delhi’s conspiracy to stop the movement against the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016.

Anti-talk ULFA’s publicity secretary, Arunodoi Asom stated, Ulfa will never be a mute spectator to these kinds of ‘evil designs’. All the communal and political forces joining hands with the Indian government’s evil designs against the indigenous people, must pay heavy price for the same.”

The outfit added that a section of Hindu Bengalis have aggressive mentality. “Several sons of the soils including martyrs Ranjit Borpujari, Surjya Bora etc. had been killed by miscreants of Bengali community during the language movement in Assam.”

The amendment is being opposed by BJP ally in the Assam government, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and student body All Assam Student Union (Aasu).

The bill for making minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan eligible for applying for Indian citizenship is referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee of both the Houses, under the chairmanship of Dr Satyapal Singh for examination and presenting a report to the Parliament.
