Hundreds of genuine Bengali speaking people having documents to prove their citizenship are languishing in detention camps due to the detrimental policies of the government which is quite unfortunate, the students’ body has alleged.
‘The government doesn’t want a foreigner free state but rather a Bengali people free state.’
This was observed by the secretary of Udalguri district ABBYSF, Sankar Das at a press meet in Dimakuchi of Udalguri district on Thursday.
Referring to the alleged suicide of a bicycle maker Dipak Debnath (49) at Ulubari (Ghagra) village under Harisinga police station in Udalguri district on October 28 after the Foreigners Tribunal, Udalguri served him D-voter notice and despite having his name in the electoral rolls of 1971 and final draft NRC, Das alleged that the government is liable for the incident as he was forcefully being labelled as D-voter.
