The dual attitude of centre and state governments and their discrimination towards Muslims has once again exposed by different moves taken up by the central and state governments. While the Centre kept silent for nearly one month on Muslim killings in Assam and delayed sending army to the riot-hit areas of Assam, it has become active as soon as the reports came in regarding Northeast people’s exodus from south India and is taking every measure to assuage them.
In a recent move the central government has imposed a fortnight-long ban on sending SMSes and MMSes in bulk, in an attempt to curb panic among Northeast people. Large number of people from the Northeast are fleeing home from cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai fearing attacks by Muslims. The centre has also asked mobile phone operators not to allow more than five SMSes or MMSes at one go. Security agencies are also directed by the Home Ministry to monitor social networking sites for provocative content. The move followed, PM Manmohan Singh promise to crack down on those spreading panic.
While the centre and the state governments are leaving no stone unturned to instill a sense of security in the community the centre is not keen to stop Muslim killings in Assam with an iron hand. Patrolling has been intensified in north-east dominated areas and helplines have been formed.
Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who heads the BJP government in the state, also assured the students from the North-East that the whole Karnataka was with them and there was nothing to worry about. He told the North-Eastern community that there is no need for them to leave the state. He said the state police had arrested five people and were looking for four more for allegedly spreading rumours that caused thousands from the Northeast to flee home.
Even as centre has become active over exodus of North-East people, it simply turned a blind eye to ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Assam. Muslims in Assam have been mercilessly killed by Bodo extremists. Muslims who have been living in Assam for more than a century have been dubbed as infiltrators and have been constantly been attacked by the terrorist. The militant Bodos have gone on a killing spree.
Whilst the centre has banned bulk SMSes it has not done anything to disarm the Bodo militants or to disband the Bodo Territorial Council which has been formed in an area where Bodos are in minority, nor has it taken any step to provide adequate protection and relief to Muslims. The death toll from ethnic unrest in India’s northeast State of Assam rose to more than 80 while lakhs of them languished in relief camps.
Banning of bulk MMSes by the centre indicates that the centre doesn’t want that the true picture of the Assam killings to be viewed by the public.
