railgenie | ‘What’s the point of talks if Centre won’t create states?’ on : August 30, 2013 - 02:57:19 AM |
GUWAHATI: Fears of fresh unrest over statehood demands in Assam resurfaced after the Centre informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that it has no plans to create any more new states in the country. Ethnic groups seeking separate states are now skeptical about the objective of the tripartite talks for which they have been invited by the Centre to New Delhi next month.The All Koch Rajbongshi Students' Union (AKRSU), which is leading the demand for a separate state of Kamatapur for the Koch-Rajbongshi community, has threatened to call off talks if the first round scheduled on September 3 does not turn out to be encouraging. The All Bodo Students' Union, on the other hand, which is demanding a separate state of Bodoland, has also threatened to review its decision to suspend the 24-hour rail blockade it had called on September 10 after the tripartite talks to be held on September 4.The AKRSU now wants the Centre to apprise both the houses of Parliament about the objective of the tripartite talks with the statehood seeking groups from the state. "This is a double-speak by the Centre. If the Centre has no plans to create any new states, then what is the objective of the tripartite talks it plans to hold with us on September 3. Under the circumstances, it is meaningless to hold talks ," AKRSU president Biswajit Ray said. |
