Guwahati: The Prabajan Virodhi Manch PVM ) on Thursday expressed concern over the fallout of the ongoing movement against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, in the state.The organization, which calls itself a 'forum against infiltration', expressed fear that the movement could create a rift between citizens of the state on the basis of language.In a letter to Satyapal Singh, chairman of the select committee on the amendment bill, the organization said the presence of Bengali-speaking migrants in the state could spark tension between locals and Bengali-speaking people, creating a linguistic rift between the Barak and Brahmaputra valleys."Due to rising conflict on the basis of language, the threat the indigenous people face because of illegal Bangladeshi migrants has receded into the background," said Upamanyu Hazarika, convener of PVM and a senior lawyer who led a Supreme Court commission on illegal influx from Bangladesh Blaming the state government for sitting on the issue, the forum wrote, "The Assam government and the leadership have abdicated responsibility. Elected representatives, representing the people's will, should have assumed leadership and fulfilled their election promise of protecting jati, mati and bheti."The organization also accused the state government of failing to fulfil its promise of protecting the rights of the indigenous people."Many lawmakers in the alliance government used to be members of different organizations fighting against Bangladeshi infiltration. This was how they defined and shaped their political identity. Today, when they have actually assumed power and responsibility, they remain silent," Hazarika said.The organization has sought a hearing before the select committee.Recently, the Paresh Baruah-led anti-talks Ulfa (Independent) warned Bengali Hindu people and organizations in the state to refrain from commenting on the proposed bill and respect the movement to protect the legitimate rights of indigenous people.
