GUWAHATI: Assam’s indigenous Muslim communities, the Gorias and the Morias, have accused All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal of communalizing the violence in Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) areas, leading to mass exodus of northeast people from different states in India.
The indigenous Muslim communities, under the banner of Sadou Asom Goria Moria Deshi Jatiya Parishad (SAGMDJP), equally blamed Hindu, Muslim and Christian fundamentalist forces for trying to wedge differences among different indigenous communities during the BTAD conflict. SAGMDJP also demanded the arrest of Ajmal, alleging that he took the initiative of giving the Bodo-Muslim conflict communal colour.
When one says that the conflict in BTAD is between Bodos and Muslims, we, as indigenous Muslims, are also dragged in. But this is not true. We are not involved in the conflict. Ajmal has no right to dub the conflict in BTAD as a Bodo-Muslim clash. We also don’t want people like L K Advani to talk on behalf of people of Assam. It is because of these communal forces that today NE people are leaving other cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad out of fear,” SAGMDJP president Sahiruddin Ali Ahmed said.
Ahmed also said that the NE people are leaving their places of study or work in other states in fear only because of the handiwork of fundamentalist forces which termed the BTAD violence as Bodo-Muslim conflict.
Editors note:
Just because you are a ‘Muslim’ does not mean you will get my support. Unless you yourself abide by teachings of re-conciliation and peace taught in Islam. I am an Indian and stand with my fellow Indian brothers and sisters no matter what their religion is. How great is the below saying of prophet Muhammad(s.a.s.) in this regard.
Narrated Abu Musa(r.a.):
The Prophet said, ‘The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him.” (Hadis Bokhari, Volume 7, Book 67, Number 442)

What the President of the Indigenous Assamese organisation has said is absolutely correct. . . Don’t Club the Assamese Muslims with the Bengali speaking Muslims. We are different in every aspect of life.
