BJP’s Vision Document for Assam targets illegal migrants
Guwahati: Blaming Congress-led Assam government for infiltration from Bangladesh, the BJP on Friday assured people it would end the problem of infiltration and detect and deport illegal migrants as well as seal the India-Bangladesh border.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley gave the assurance here after releasing the party’s Vision Document for 2016-25, saying: “Our main emphasis will be on infiltration.”
“The Congress has all along been encouraging illegal migration in Assam for their vote bank politics. However, if the BJP is voted to power in Assam, we are going to end the influx from the neighbouring country by sealing the International border between the two countries,” said Jaitley.
“In the last 15 years of the Congress government, it failed to fulfil the aspirations of the people. However, our priority will be infiltration, and we are going to seal the Indo-Bangladesh border within a stipulated time to solve the problem,” he said.
“The Congress has also been trying to destroy and change the demography of Assam by encouraging influx. Although the Congress has been in power for many years in Assam, yet the state government had taken no action to curb the problem,” he said.
Jaitley said The Vision Document 2016-25 is a roadmap prepared by the party for ensuring overall development of the state.
“There is series of dialogues organised by the party with people of Assam in different parts of the state. It has got a proper roadmap for each and every problem of the state, including transport, employment, regarding highways, rural roads, extension of railway, air connectivity, youth, tea tribes, job creation, agricultural skill development,” he said, adding “it includes everything that is required for an overall development.”
The BJP has assured the public in its Vision Document of enacting a law to deal firmly with industries, businesses, small and medium enterprises or any other agencies employing infiltrators.
BJP national president Amit Shah, meanwhile, addressed two public rallies at Sivsagar district in Upper Assam and assured the people the BJP would make Assam free of illegal Bangladesh migrants.
Blaming the Congress for the infiltration from Bangladesh, Shah said the people of Assam would have to unite and vote for the three-party alliance led by the BJP if they wished to make the state free of illegal migrants.
“You have voted for Congress for last 55 years. I appeal you to vote for the BJP and its alliance only once and I assure you that Sarbananda Sonowal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make Assam the number one state in the country,” he said.
Shah said the BJP has made this happen in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
