Tourists' safety

The recent attack on a Swiss couple by a group of youths at Agra's famous Fatehpur Sikri is really unfortute. The couple was brutally assaulted with sticks and stones making them utterly helpless. Such incidents create a very poor image of the country on the intertiol stage and discourage future foreign tourists to visit India. Hope, the Government of India will undertaker practical measures such as deploying adequate number of police force to instill a sense of security among the tourists.

Save Assam from Bangladeshi infiltrators

It seems that due to some mysterious  reason  the  government  itself  is  not    interested to stop illegal infiltration of Bangladeshis. That is why  some  stretches  of  Indo - Bangla intertiol  border still remain open  so  that  infiltrators  can  enter without any hurdle. Frequently  there  appears  in  news that BSF  personnel  also  allow Bangladeshi  infiltrators  to enter Assam for some  money. If  these  are  true then the Bangladeshis  will  always  keep entering  Assam   everyday  for  indefinite  time. From  the  news  it is revealed  that  people beloning to a particular community of the neighbouring country are entering Assam  since  1937  and  acquired  citizenship  of  Assam and has  become bone of  contention in the State as  they  don't  have  any  intension  to  assimilate  with  the  local  people  and  it's  culture. On  the  contrary  they  never  miss  any  opportunity  to  domite  the  local  people. There have been ample evidence that these people want to impose  Bengali in Assam, the  Muslim  Bangladeshi-origin  people  settled  in  Assam  have always  been trying  to  bring  more  and  more  Bangladeshi Muslims to Assam  to  make it  a  Muslim  majority  state. This is their hidden agenda to occupy Assam. That  is why they are trying to create  obstacles in the  NRC update process.  The  Centre  and the RSS  want  to  bring  more  Bangladeshi  Hindus to  Assam  to  stabilize  the  Hindu -Muslim ratio of Assam   which  is  laughable. Instead of planning to  bring  more  Hindu  Bangladeshis   they  should  think  of  cancelling  citizenship of  all  the  people  of  Bangladesh-origin  settled in Assam   since  1937. And it is very easy to identify them. Even after  settling  in  Assam since  1937 - they  are  not  fluent  with  Assamese accent, whenever  they  speak  Assamese, anyone can easily identify  them  as  people  of  Bangladeshi  origin , their physique has distinct  differences  from  the indigenous  people  of  Assam. So it is high  time  that  the State government gather enough courage  to  go  against them and find  a way to cancel the citizenship of  all  the people  of  Bangladeshi  origin  in Assam and send  them back to wherever they  came from. Only then this burning problem  will  be  solved and  there  will  be  no  need  for  the  RSS to plan  to  bring Hindu Bangladeshis to Assam   for  the  reason best known to all.
