Can we not be afforded the same common sense decision as Indians, or are they RACISTS!!!??!!

NEW DELHI: Union Minister and Assam’s likely chief minister designate Sarbanda Sonowal has said that when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition assumes administrative charge in the state next week, it will take the decision to seal the border with Bangladesh to prevent infiltration of illegal immigrants.

“… we are concerned about ongoing erosion of Assamese traditions, culture and way of life. Inspite (sic) of India having a border agreement with Bangladesh, we keep receiving reports of illegal entries from that country. We see it as a major problem, and it will be my government’s endeavor to find a short as well as a long-term solution to it. I am confident we can achieve this goal.”

In Assam, the agitation against immigrants started as early as 1979. Led by All Assam Students Union (AASU), the movement called for putting a stop on the influx of immigrants and deportation of those who have already settled.

It gradually took violent form and ethnic violence started between Assamese and Bengalis, mostly Muslim.
