The Assam Youth Forum (AYM) has set new trends of protest against the recent Bangladeshi influx into the region with a Rickshaw Rally taken out in city and the state together. The rally was taken out with more than fifty rickshaws from Maligaon towards the DC office in the course to project how the in filtered Bangladeshis are bugging the local employment.
With more than 50 rickshaws and two hundred agitators the Assam Youth Forum merged the city road with the slogans against the influx issue wchih is allegedly overlooked by the state and the central Govts. "The youth of Assam is very much discouraged with the authoritarian approach towards the logistic end of the influx problem of the region. Though the Government is taking them as a vote bank but we are the most terrible victims of this as the Bangladeshis are coming in huge numbers and taking advantages of the small sectors like labours, agriculture and industries", said Manash Dutta, spokesperson of AYM.
The advantages of taking over the jobs and employment issues is also been condemned by the Forum and blamed the typical Assamese society’s approach towards it. "The Assamese people are themselves responsible for this dependant situation on the Bangladeshi labours. No industry, work or rather organisation is ready to take the blame but to shout on illogical ends of the problem. Rather good and eligible Bangladeshis should be treated as a man power and should provide the Job Cards for their employments legally but we strongly oppose the influx illogically for some shallow gains", stated Jitul Deka, President of the Forum. He also added that the problem exists in the state for more than 29 years and demanded the Government to take it as a serious problem as it ruining the job opportunity for the indigenous Assamese youths.
The Forum said that the Rickshaw rally is to create awareness among the public that no job is less job. "We just want to show that Assamese youth can also pull the rickshaw and earn their lives and can do it with dignity then rather depend on some Bangladeshis to do it for us. If we respect our culture and know our responsibility then no outsiders can take over us- it’s the only motto of today's rally", commented Deka.
Though the group started the rally with 50 rickshaws but the traffic authority later put the numbers to ten for the high traffic problem in the city. However the Assam Youth Forum seems optimistic with the rally's response all over the state and said that the organisation will be taking an enduring effort to make the Assamese youth to bring to forefront.
