Urged The House To Take Up Immediately The Calling Attention Motion … on 29 November, 2000

Title: Urged the House to take up immediately the Calling Attention Motion relating to killing of Hindi speaking people in Assam.

SHRI SONTOSH MOHAN DEV : Hon.Speaker, Sir, every day on an average six to seven Hindi-speaking people, infants, children, elderly men aged above 80 years are being killed in Assam. We raised this issue in the House. Other hon. Members in the House also raised it. The hon. Minister the other day assured us that he would apprise the concerned Minister and that he would come with a statement. Nothing has come so far.

After that, in your wisdom, you asked us to give a notice of Calling attention Motion. We had given a notice of Calling Attention. Many Members from various States have given notice. I urge upon you to take up the Calling attention Motion immediately. Otherwise, we are being charged in the Assam Press that the Members who have come in the House are inactive. I know your constraints but I must request that this matter should not be taken lightly.

MR. SPEAKER: You can meet me in my Chamber.
