Guwahati:
A Bodoland People's Front (BPF) legislator
Friday blamed his own party chief Hagrama Mohilary for the
communal violence in Assam that left more than 100 people dead
three months ago.
Hitesh Basumatary told the media that Mohilary was responsible for
the violence that engulfed Kokrajhar and Chirang, which fall under
the Bodoland Territorial Areas Districts (BTAD).
BTAD is run by the Bodoland Territorial Council, whose chief
executive member is also Mohilary.
Describing Mohilary as a "dictator", he said the people of the
state were "well aware who is responsible for the whole
situation".
"Along with the people, I would like to (urge) Mohilary to
cooperate with the government to seize all illegal arms in BTAD. I
wish he will work for peace and prosperity in the Council area,"
Basumatary said.
Basumatary, who represents Chapaguri in the Assam assembly, denied
Mohilary's allegation that he (Basumatary) was involved in a
kidnap-murder case.
"How can he make such remarks even before the investigation report
is out? Being a leader of a political party, he has violated the
norms of democracy."
The communal violence which enveloped Kokrajhar, Chirang and
Dhubri districts also displaced closed to five lakh people.
Basumatary called for the seizure of all illegal weapons in the
Bodoland areas.
"I'm not talking about Muslims or Bodos but one must find out from
where all these illegal arms have come from? All these should be
seized."
