Tit le : Regarding attack on people of Assam by the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
SHRI NARAYAN CHANDRA BORKATAKY (MANGALDOI): Sir, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to tell about the recent communal carnage that has happened in my constituency, in Udalguri and Darrang districts.
It is a very unfortunate incident that the indigenous people of Assam have been attacked by the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This has never happened in the independent India. The Government has totally failed to avert the situation; they could have averted it, if they had taken stringent measures in time. There were serious bomb blasts in the country. Even 2-3 weeks before, seven Huji militants had been gunned down in Dubri district of Assam. The Government has not taken any steps or measures to avert the situation. Now, people have totally lost their faith and confidence in the administration, and even in the police administration.
My appeal to the Government through you is that immediate steps should be taken for giving proper compensation to the families of the deceased; there should be proper rehabilitation and confidence building measures which should be taken up immediately.
MR. SPEAKER: I have to look at all sides. I know the situation. There cannot be a debate. I know that this is an important matter; I am allowing you to raise it. You may just mention the matter.
SHRI NARAYAN CHANDRA BORKATAKY (MANGALD O I): Immediately the Government should take up all measures to bring confidence among the people. They have to go to their homes; they are now in camps. About two lakhs people are now staying in the camps. … (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Okay. All the MPs of Assam are associating with each other.
SHRI NARAYAN CHANDRA BORKATAKY (MANGALDOI): A lot of houses have been burnt. We have to bring confidence among the people.
MR. SPEAKER: I am an Assamese, you know that.
… (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Your intervention is not recorded.
SHRI NARAYAN CHANDRA BORKATAKY (MAN GA L D OI ): Pakistani flag was also hoisted in Udalguri District. … (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: You have mentioned this already. This has already been mentioned.
SHRI NARAYAN CHANDRA BORKATAKY (MANGALDOI): This s hould be taken up. … (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Okay. You wanted to talk about floods, but you are going to so many other areas.
… (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Anybody interrupting me or interfering in my discharge of duties will have to face some of the consequences.
