New Delhi: No
Bangladeshi was killed or injured in the recent Bodoland violence
and that shows there were no illegal settlers in the area, Chief
Minister Tarun Gogoi said Thursday.
He cautioned that "secret forces" were trying to destabilize
Assam. "I don't want to name them but there are forces trying to
instigate violence," Gogoi told reporters at the Assam Bhavan.
A total of 485,921 people were displaced in riots in the Bodoland
Territorial Administered Districts (BTAD) in July-August,
according to
official estimates.
A total of 448,665 people returned to their homes.
Gogoi said 37,256 people were still living in relief camps and
"quite a substantial number of them were from the minority
community".
He tried to dispel the apprehension of the people of Assam on the
issue of
illegal migrants. "Not a single illegal foreign immigrant will be
allowed to settle in Assam."
The chief minister added that "not a single foreign illegal
settler was
detected in the BTC till date".
He also said that 97 percent of the Assam-Bangladesh border
fencing had
been completed. Of the 224.69 km of border, 218.17 km had been
completed.
The chief minister condemned the recent outbreak of violence and
said both the state government and the BodoLand Territorial
Council (BTC) had taken adequate measures to restore peace.
Ten more people were killed in November in ethnic clashes in
Bodoland,
bring the toll to 97.
