Brahma hits back at Hagrama

From our CorrespondentKOKRAJHAR, June 12: Former Rajya Sabha MP and leader of BPPF, UG Brahma today slammed BTC chief and BPF president Hagrama Mohilary for his slanderous attack on him in public meetings and government functions.In a press meet held at party head office here, Brahma said Hagrama Mohilary was violating the peoples’ code of conduct under Peoples’ Representative Act of 1950. He said, it is a common thing for Mohilary to use provocative and unparliamentary statements in public and government programmes against him and BPPF president Rabiram Narzary. The speech of Mohilary in the inaugural ceremony of Purbojhora sub divison on June 10 was like an election rally, where he spoke against him and Rabiram Narzary. Brahma said, Mohilary had admitted his involvement in the killings of NDFB while he was the chairman of the BLT but with a view to make himself a ‘guilty-free’ person in the eyes of NDFB, he is trying to blame Brahma as dictator of BLT. He said, he was the president of ABSU at that time and had worked for the solution of NDFB-BLT clashes. But Brahma asked how could Mohilary as the head of a militant outfit could follow the diktats of another?Brahma continuing his argument said that the present activities, movements and regular visits to other countries without official agendas by Mohilary undoubtedly proves his connection with international terrorist groups. The Government should be serious about the matter, he said. The president of BPPF, Rabiram Narzary said Mohilary’s provocative statements in a public meeting held at Bagribari recently is to remain in power at BTC for another ten years by any means, which is a threat to the people and murder of democracy. He also said, Mohilary must be arrested for his unlawful activities including unparliamentary statements against himself and UG Brahma. Narzary also said that Mohilary is using the concept of Lora Roja’s rule in BTC. He also said that the allegations of Mohilary against UG Brahma were baseless and politically motivated as BPPF is not using

BTC chief wants probe

Kokrajhar, June 9: Bodoland Territorial Council chief Hagrama Mohilary today accused the Bodoland Peoples Progressive Front president Rabiram Narzary, former Rajya Sabha MP U.G. Brahma and the NDFB of instigating fratricidal flare-up and frequent killings in Baksa district in particular and BTC in general.

He also demanded CBI and judicial inquiry into the matter.
Mohilary’s statement came after the killing of former Bodoland Liberation Tigers (BLT) and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) members Abir Boro and Jatin Boro by unidentified assailants in the past three days in Baksa district.

A 60-year-old Kanak Swargiary, retired employee of handloom and textile department, was also shot dead by unidentified militants at his resident in Kahibari under Barama police station on Friday.

“The facts will come to light after the investigation as to who had created tension and spread fratricidal flare-up in the Bodoland,” Mohilary told journalists this evening.
He said the killings had been instigated by U.G. Brahma and Rabiram Narzary.
The BPPF, led by Rabiram Narzary, is also obstructing development in Bodoland by creating turmoil.

He also held the NDFB responsible for the killings. Both the BPPF leaders had earlier sought the governor’s intervention to bring the situation under control.

“The governor should step in and take charge of the BTC to maintain law and order situation in the region and check the ongoing fratricidal killings,” the former Rajya Sabha MP had said.
“It is becoming difficult for civilians to live in the BTC. The situation has crossed the limit. Army and paramilitary forces should be deployed in the council area to bring the situation under control,” Brahma had earlier demanded.

NDFB information and publicity secretary S. Sanjarang said just to cover up his miserable failure, Mohilary started an organisation called the Ex-BLT Welfare Society, which led to the enmity between the former BLT and the NDFB members.
With the latest killing, the death toll crossed 40 and dozens have been injured in the clashes between the two groups since March 1.

Though the BLT has long been disbanded after a tripartite agreement with Delhi and Dispur, and the Bodoland Territorial Council formed consisting of four districts of Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri, a section of its members still cannot get over its rivalry with the NDFB.
