Dear friends from rest of India. Greetings from a disturbed land.
You might have been seeing some news about #Assam_protesting_against_CAB, police batoning the public, peaceful protests turning violent, Armed forces resorting into rubber bullets. This is saddening. But do you know what is more saddening to us? It is when people from rest of India are commenting on the issue with your prejudiced tone as usual. I’m sorry to say that you were never well informed about the north east. All these years you never even tried to understand the the issue of #illegal_bangladeshi_immigrants in Assam and ill it is doing to our land. We were already burdened with lakhs of illegal Bangladeshis, be it Hindu or Muslim, and that too to the limit that it has already changed the demographics of some districts of Assam. The present #bjp govt. came to power with the very agenda of getting us rid of this issue. But unfortunately what is the solution they brought? To bring another lot of them…. ? So that tomorrow the indigenous people of Assam can be minority in their own land. Really ???
Friends Assamese society is a multi structural society, it is not based on religion like your mainland India. It is a society of indigenous people, be it Hindu, be it Muslim or be it all the indigenous tribals of Assam. We are united in the basis of our language, our culture. We are united against any odds to work for the upliftment of our culture, our language. We are united in the basis of the the language that we speak. Be it Assamese, Boro, Karbi, Mishing, Dimasha Tiwa, Deori etc. we are one.
But today in the face of the #bengali influx from #bangladesh everything that we have got is about to be compromised. And we cannot simply sit and watch.
Friends our protest is not against a particular religion and for that case please don’t spread some nonsense that we are receiving foreign funds to protest against Hindus. No. We don’t see the religion of a Bangladeshi. For us a Bangladeshi is a Bangladeshi be it Hindu or Muslim. For these many years Congress brought the Muslim Bengalis, first from east bengal and then from Bangladesh. Now BJP is going to do the same and bring Hindu Bengalis from Bangladesh. Where will we go ?? What about us? Does that seem a solution to you. Moreover if CAB was such a good thing why did the govt. exclude rest of North East and tribal areas of Assam from its ambit. Is Assam a dumping ground. We want #InnerLinePermit for Assam too.
Friends, please clear your facts and stand by us. At this crucial moment we require your support to fight against the deadly decisions of this government. It’s our fight for survival. Today we are suffering, tomorrow it will be you. So act before it’s too late.
Hail my motherland #JaiAaiAsom
