AASU for ‘shoot-at-sight’ along Bangla border

Guwahati: The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has demanded promulgation of ‘shoot-at-sight’ order along the India Bangladesh border in Assam besides demanding the sealing of the border within a month given the dangerous implications of unabated influx that has facilitated jehadi infitration through the porous border.

"We want the Government to be proactive and seal the 272 kilometer India-Bangladesh border within a month’s time. The Government should come out with a tome-specific mechanism to seal the borer as well as to deport and detected illegal Bangladeshi migrants," AASU adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharrya said here.

Referring to Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi’s latest announcement of slew of measures to stop infiltration from Bangladesh, the AASU leader said there was nothing new in the announcements which were mere repetition of what had been announced earlier by the governments in Assam and New Delhi.

The AASU wants the Government to declare shoot-at-sight order along the India-Bangladesh border in the State in view of the ‘involvement of jehadi elements from Bangladesh’ in October the 30 serial blasts and the unprecedented communal flare up in Darrang and Udalguri districts of Assam last month.
