SC allows Bangladeshi to roam freely in Assam

The Supreme Court has allowed Bangladeshi to roam freely inAssam and India after arranging  2 lakhsurety and periodic visit to the nearest police station.

The May 10 judgment will have a far reaching impact whichmost of the Assamese intelligentsia, media and political parties are trying tohide under the carpet realizing the long forty year old agitation against  Illegal infiltration is practically over.

The Assam Government sought to put radio collar and Rs 4lakh surety before releasing them but the Supreme Court reduced the surety to Rs2 lakh and did not allow radio collaring.

This order is considered prelude to the announcement of theWork permit as the Government will have to issue some sort of papers for thesereleased people to live in India without being a citizen and earn his or her livelihoodbesides enjoying the basic right of health and education.

Effectively the Supreme Court order has confirmed that allthose names which would come out of the NRC on July 31, would also be releasedafter arranging Rs 2 lakh surety and staying some period in the detention centers.

The AASU, the vanguard of the infiltration movement, are ina shock as they have remained spectator reduced only to give television byte toAssam media on the forecourt of the Supreme Court.

 The AASU curiously didnot submit any intervention petition  whenfor weeks the hearing was going on inside the Supreme Court.

For the record the AASU gave a statement warning that if the illegal migrants are releasedconditionally from the detention camps, it will lead to social tension in theState and for all the consequences of such a development, the governments inthe State and as well as at the Centre would have to assume responsibilities.
