(Zaheeruddin Ali Khan): Managing Editor Siasat Daily Mr. Zaheeruddin Ali Khan who had paid a second visit to Assam so as to assess the work done during his last visit.
1,30,000 Bengali Muslims still living uphazardly in refugee camps where 25 persons are accommodated in 15×15 room. There is no toilet and bathroom facility and to meet this necessity, a curtain is there that works as a partition.
Even women have no such privacy to answer the nature’s call. Moreover, the harassment of the armed Budos is still on. As there is no way out, these oppressed refugee Muslims are compelled to turn rebels as no efforts are made for their rehabilitation either by Govt. of Assam or the Central government.
A meeting was conducted by the Siasat Managing director in a hamlet where approximately 7000 Muslims are residing.
Out of this, 5000 Muslims attended the meeting where it was declared that a united movement would be started against the violence and harassment of non-Budos including Rajvanshis, Ahums and Muslims.
The 75% of non-Budo population also took part in this pledge. In the backdrop of the educational backwardness of Assam Muslims, the Siasat Daily has decided to begin special coaching camps of 4-month duration.
In these camps, the students of eight schools would be selected to provide coaching.
Apart from this, the non-Budo students who are intelligent and eager to get higher education, would be provided opportunities to pursue their Engineering, B. Com and para-medical courses in Hyderabad.
