Give protection to NE people at all costs

It is commendable that the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, Opposition leader in Parliament Sushama Swaraj , Karnataka Chief Minister Jagdish Settar and all other members of Parliament across the party lines have given assurance to the nation to stand by the side of NE people and provide them full protection to save their lives and property anywhere and in any part they wish to live, work and study. But everything depends on the execution of the assurance and how promptly, sincerely and sternly the government takes action against the rumour mongers. The rumour mongers spread rumours that there is impending attack on NE-people, which has caused their exodus in hordes from Banglore, Hyderabad and Pune. This is the most reprehensible act and appears to be the act of anti-national elements at the behest of our hostile neighbours to disintegrate India. Social sites must also be observed seriously on daily basis by the security agencies. Some anti-national elements may misuse them to achieve their ill design on India by mongering all types of rumours about violence, sedition and secession. On the one hand the Central government as well as state governments urgently require to instill confidence among the NE people that they are safe and protected away from their homes in the country and there must be thorough investigation into the rumour of impending attack on NE people on the other hand. Only then the NE people can rest assured about their safety and security. There has developed a sense of alienation among NE people and they feel that the successive governments at the Centre never treated them on the equal footing with the people of the other parts of the nation. This feeling should be immediately removed from among them by the Central Government through its action. Today, Exodus of NE People in hordes has taken place in fear of the rumour that they would be attacked. All political parties ruling as well as opposition have shown exemplary consolidation with them. But the day situation returns to normalcy, all would start their politics to create vote banks. Assam -the biggest state of North-Eastern region- has witnessed one of its worst communal riots in which more than 50 people were killed and about 4 lakh people were displaced. The rumour of creating fear psychosis among NE people in Hyderabad, Banglore and Pune has reverberated from Assam communal violence and the repercussion of which was also seen in Mumbai. Communal violence only feeds anti-national elements to play it up for disintegrating India, and our hostile neighbours are always on look out for it. So, irrespective of the political party in government, the fire of communal violence wherever in the country sets on must be extinguished without any loss of time with firm hands before it could go out of hands.
