Mohilary behind Bengtol killing, alleges BPPF

UDALGURI, March 22: The Bodoland Peoples’ Progressive Front (BPPF) has demanded the all-party delegation of the Assam Assembly to visit the Bengtol area and enquire into the recent killings. Prodeep Kumar Daimary, the vice president of BPPF stated that the party will continue its protests against the heinous killings of innocent villagers in Bengtol area. The party has called a 12-hour bandh recently which has paralysed the normal life in the area. They decided to hold a mass rally at Kajalgaon in the first week of April to protest against these incidents. The BPPF has also demanded resignations from the ministers of Hagrama led Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF) party owning the moral responsibility of those killings.
The BPPF strongly condemn the police firing in Bengtol on March 13, and all the arsons, attacks on the people in Chirang and Kokrajhar districts. These incidence are the outcome of arrogant attitude of the BTC chief Hagrama Mohilary and his administration.
The BPPF refute the charges levelled by Mohilary against Rabiram Narzary, the president of BPPF with inciting NDFB and making political conspiracy against him. Rabiram Narzary and his party has not in any manner involved in all these incidents. The BPPF has been working for peace in the BTAD area in particular and the State as a whole.
The party has been urging the Government for holding peace talk with the NDFB for bringing solution of their issues. But Mohilary in connivance with the Asom Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has been obstructing the peace talk with NDFB and making policy for complete annihilation of NDFB.
For execution of this policy on Mohilary’s direction, his supporters have been attacking NDFB cadres, leaders of BPFPR, ABSU and other people. For keeping his seat of power, Mohilary is maintaining arms groups in the name of youth wing. These youths are behind the killings of AASU leader of Subankhata Tapan Das, Ranjan Narzary the NDFB cadre of Bogajuli, Bubul Swargiary the vice president of BPFPR, Pradip Swargiary the headmaster of Irakdao High School in Baksa district as well as hijacking of 3 buses carrying supporters of BPPF to Dotoma conference on March 11, burning of NDFB camp at Jharbari, burning of house of NDFB leader at Athiabari on Mach 12, burning and destroying of houses of BPFPR leader including Bisturam Basumatary in Chirang on March 13, police firing on innocent people at Bengtol, and bomb blast at Majbat and Udalguri railway station, the BPPF statement alleged.
The statement appealed all sections of people to maintain peace and harmony in the region. The press conference organized by BPPF was attended by Rabindra Basumatary, Udalguri district president, Dilu Sarma organizing secretary among others at Udalguri yesterday, sources added.
