Guwahati: The
opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) Saturday condemned the ruling
Congress in Assam over the ongoing violence in Kokrajhar district
in the Bodoland Territorial Areas Districts (BTAD), where earlier
in the year over 100 people were killed in Bodo-Muslim clashes.
AGP working president Atul Bora said Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi
has lost control over the government and also came down heavily on
the ruling party for an alleged fake encounter in Majuli Island.
"The arrest of an executive member of the Bodoland Territorial
Council (BTC) Mono Kumar Brahma, who belongs to Bodoland Peoples
Front (BPF) - a party partner with the Congress government in
Dispur, for possessing illegal arms and ammunition is a clear
indication that Congress is involved in the conspiracy behind the
violence in the Kokrajhar," Bora said.
"It is shocking that the government has not initiated any strong
action in Kokrajhar even after the state police chief had clearly
said that there is presence of huge illegal arms and ammunition in
the BTAD," said Bora.
A team of police and security forces deployed in Majuli Island in
Jorhat district had killed three people and injured two others
during an anti-insurgency operation Thursday.
Although the police have claimed one of the deceased as a hardcore
Ulfa militant, the locals have termed it to be a 'fake encounter'.
