GUWAHATI: The Assam Congress has spoken out towards the Centre’s proposed Citizenship (modification) Bill. Interestingly, some BJP allies too have additionally voiced their disapproval of the bill.
Leader of opposition in the state assembly Debabrata Saikia of Congress said that his birthday celebration is able to do the rest to avoid wasting the Assam Accord that was once signed between All Assam Students Union, centre and state government in 1985 below then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi that brought an end to a six-year-long anti-foreigners’ motion.
The accord, that has been broadly authorized, has set middle of the night of March 24, 1971 as the time limit to tell apart between an illegal foreigner and an Indian citizen. The centre’s bill now proposes to make Hindu infiltrators who have entered India till December, 2014 eligible for citizenship.
“The Citizenship (modification) bill will kill the Assam Accord and Congress will make each try to save the Accord. We are open for any roughly political association for an alternate government if that is required to avoid wasting the Accord. Rahul Gandhi has informed us that we will have to be ready for any roughly sacrifice like we did in Karnataka,” Saikia informed TOI.
With just 26 members in the house of 126 the percentages are heavily towards Congress at the moment, but the birthday celebration thinks that if BJP’s best friend, AGP, which has 14 members and is opposing the bill in favour of the Accord can take the lead, the brand new political association can also be in place. Congress is able to sacrifice its anti-AIUDF stand and join fingers with Badruddin Ajmal, who has 13 members and is confident that its former best friend for 10 years, Bodoland People’s Front, which has 12 members can also be weaned away simply to succeed in 65, approach beyond the part approach mark of 63. BJP with 60 members does no longer have a simple majority in the house on its own.
Congress has projected AGP as the brand new main birthday celebration going by its historic reference to the Accord. The regional birthday celebration was once born out of the AASU-led anti-foreigners’ motion that was once led by former AASU president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, who later became AGP’s first leader minister.
Mahanta when contacted, additionally vowed to combat for the accord by which he is one of the signatories as AASU president. “The bill violates the Assam Accord. We have made up our minds to combat to avoid wasting the accord till the final… till the bill is brought to the parliament. If the bill is handed we all will resign and there is no difference of opinion in this inside of AGP,” Mahanta said. He added, “Nothing is unimaginable in politics.”
Congress’s previous warfare horse and previous leader minister Tarun Gogoi, who was once the driving force at the back of getting Rajiv Gandhi to supply the accord to AASU, informed TOI, “We can never allow anyone to nullify the Assam Accord. The Citizenship bill if handed by parliament will make the accord null and void and we can do no matter it takes to stop that from going down.”
All eyes at the moment are on the 2019 Lok Sabha election because that is when BJP can be taking a look to increase its tally in the state from seven in 2014 and its state allies would play their cards.
Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, who finished his two years in place of work on Thursday sought to suppress the rising differences between BJP and AGP over the bill and said that each one differences can be looked after out through dialogues.
