Silchar, Oct 20 : The Aamra Bangali has expressed concern over the way a Bengali family from Nagaon, in spite of having proof of their Indian citizenship, has been pushed back to Bangladesh via Mahisahashan border by BSF. Sadhan Purkayastha, secretary of the state unit of Aamara Bangali said, if the present government continues to harass the genuine Indian citizens only because they speak in Bengali, then a mass movement would soon be launched.
âIt is to be noted that Dinesh Saha from Nagaon along with his wife Bandana Saha and two sons Bijan Krishna and Piyush had been pushed back to Bangladesh yesterday by the BSF. Some Hindu organizations like RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal had staged dharna at the Mahisahashan border against the pushing back of a Hindu family. Meanwhile Saha, who had fought the citizenship row in the court for 22 years, had reportedly shown documents to the Karimganj police including PAN cards of his two sons. He was served quit notice by the Nagaon police after he was declared a Bangladeshi by a tribunal in 1986. Since then he had been fighting the case in the court, and reportedly submitted documents that could prove that he and his wife were genuine Indian citizens. But subsequently the papers were mysteriously lost from the custody of the court, as claimed by Saha. On Sunday evening, a sobbing Saha along with his entire family crossed the border to a land of uncertainity.
