APPEAL

I request Hon’ble Minister of State for Home, Shri Nisith Pramanik and the Assam State Government to look into the issue of deprivation of the facility of Aadhar Card for more than 27 lakh individuals in Assam. Issuance of Aadhar Card remains suspended for these applicants, most of whom are from Bengali community. Aadhar Card is required for most of the essential activities of our society like admission to academic institutions, various licenses, bank operations etc. In fact, Aadhar Card is required on a daily basis at present. This is a discrimination against Bengali community.

The condition of nineteen (19) lakh people, who acquired the status of ‘Persona Non Grata’ due to their non-inclusion in the National Register for Citizens (NRC), is very pathetic. Their lives are full of sufferings. This situation is against the basic spirit and foundation of our nation. We request your good offices to take up both the issues with the concerned authorities for a permanent resolution.

Bengalis are harassed in various states of NE India such as Meghalaya. Please take corrective actions.

I also propose sealing of the international Indo-Bangladesh border with increased effectiveness. Twenty-four hours vigil may be kept with drones along with increased deployment of armed forces all along the border including river-ways for stopping all kinds of illegal infiltrations as well as supply of drugs, contraband etc.
