**Pakistani flags in three paces in Assam **
Amidst rising clashes between indigenous habitants in Bodoland and Assam, Pakistani flags were raised in at least three places creating palpable tension in an already disturbed situation.
IT IS not a Bodo-non Bodo clash but an indigenous-immigrant conflict.
Pakistani flag were hoisted in three places in Sonaripara primary school ground, Kalaigaon and Mohanppur in Udalguri district, Assam amidst escalating Bodo-Muslim clashes on October 4. Some people later removed the flags.
October 5 news dailies from Guwahati, on the eve of Durga Puja are full of disturbing news about imposition of curfew, flag marches by the Army, mob attack on a minister’s convoy, rise in death toll and steps against administrative and police officials and the intelligence so that the Puja is not disturbed.
As incidents of group clashes between Bodos and immigrant Muslims in Udalguri district from October 3 spread to Darrang and Sonitpur districts, the army staged a flag march in Kopati in Darrang district. The death toll touched 25.
Groups of people affected in the clashes are Bodos, Santhals, Bengali, Nepali and immigrant Muslims. About 5,000 people have been rendered homeless. The number of people in 18 camps in Udalguri and eight camps in Darrang rendered homeless are estimated at 40,000. Hostility has brewing between Bodos and non-Bodos on the one hand and illegal migrants on the other for the last two months bur the government of Assam did not respond.
Terror stricken Udalguri district falls under Bodoland Territory Council (BTC) area. The BTC chief and president of the ruling coalition partner BPPF Mr. Hagrama Mohilari holds a third force responsible for these disturbances. The administrative set up in newly formed Udalguri district is still not capable of coping with the situation.
It is reported that seven ministers and a few parliamentary secretaries are camping in the disturbed areas while mob attack on ministers, hooliganism in minister’s presence have also been reported.
