 Our party that is CPIM is totally opposed to the citizenship amendment bill 2016 because it is going to obliterate the whole character of Indian constitution. Indian constitution is fully and wholly secular but this bill is going to consider the citizenship of a particular man only on the basis of a religion and it is also going to seriously obliterate the character of citizenship act itself. Citizenship act 1955 is based on secular ethics but this bill is seeking to grant citizenship to a foreigner on the basis of a real on his religion. So, we are our party CPIM is totally opposing it. Another important point this bill is going to seriously affect the unity and integrity of Assam. You know in Assam there was a big agitation against the infiltration in 1979 to 1985. Main demand was to detect one foreigner keeping 1955 as the base year but the left as a whole and the CPIM also totally opposed this demand. We demanded that since Bangladesh was established only in 1971 so the cut of year should be 1971, 24 March. So, there were big attacks on the leftist we lost 50 comrades. Finally in 1985, 15 August the Assam Accord was signed the basis was 1971, 24 March will be the basis for detecting foreigners. So, this citizenship bill subsequently incorporates that idea and there is an amendment in the citizenship bill where clause 6A is inserted. 6A stipulates that for Assam the cut of date for detecting foreigners will be 24 March 1971. So, after that there was some come and some stability return to Assam. But by this bill this 1971-24 March cut of date will be geopartized. So, it will seriously affect the religious unity among different sections of the Assamese society and also the linguistic unity between particularly Assamese and Bengali. So, on these two scores we are opposing this citizenship bill fully Assamese society particularly different linguistic groups are divided on this question. A number of people think who are Bengali or say this linguistic minority think that they will protect their interest because you see in Assam the national register of citizenship being prepared. So, for that some people do not have any documents. So, they think that it will help, but as a whole in Assam people oppose it because people has an apprehension that this bill will encourage infiltration across the border. So, most of the people in Assam are opposing this number one. Number two Muslim people are afraid that they will be treated differently with the Hindu people. So, in Bengali people also many people opposed this why because they fear that if this bill is passed then there will be an instability in the state and that will affect their interest also. Already there are signs of it you know that there were attacks on the Bengali poor people and five people were killed by some unknown groups may be alpha or someone else, pretext was the citizenship bill. So, common people there is a common feeling that this bill should not be at least implemented in Assam. No, there were big reactions you know when the joint parliamentary committee which is meant to consider this bill visited Assam that is in May 11, 10, 11 May. There were big protest demonstrations and except BJP and the RSS no political party is supporting this bill. This is an important thing even the partners of the government, ACP who is having three ministers in this coalition ministry and the BPF also they are also not supporting in fact opposing this bill. So, perception about BJP is changing when the they came into power they talked of detecting and deporting foreigners. Modi thundered in Bengal that if we come to power on 16 May these foreigners have to pack up, but after they came to power they immediately started politicking. 19 in 2015 there were two notifications where the provisions of the citizenship bill are being interfered and after that you know the 2016 this bill. So, after coming into power like all other promises they are also breaking the promises of their party not only breaking they are in fact going under just opposite direction. So, people are now casting doubt on the BJP no I do not do not think so because you see panchayat election is the basic issues are related to the village development and BJP is in power and that is the government is two and half years old only. So, people think still think that if BJP is elected to the panchayats they will develop they can develop their panchayats. So, this bill is not having any significant ramifications in the recently concluded panchayat election.
