PUCL strongly condemns the shooting down of unarmed tribals in and outside their homes in Sonitpur and Kokrajhar districts of Assam on 23rd December, 2014 by armed squad of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit) (NDFB (S) faction.

The message that emanates from these concentric circles of BJP leaders is clear: hate-speech is the new normal; lionising Nathuram Godse is no longer taboo; the communal lumpen’s time has come; “our” government won’t stop ghar wapsi; we’ll temporarily postpone it, but take it up soon, under another name if necessary; if we could “accomplish” the Babri demolition and Gujarat-2002, nothing can prevent us from converting Muslims and Christians, whether in Aligarh or elsewhere, at a named price of respectively Rs 5 lakhs and Rs 2 lakhs.

On 23rd December, 2014 by Bodo Terrorist Group NDFB(S) attacked upon most oppressed Population of Assam Adivashi Santhals in two separate District of the State. The indiscriminte attack took place at Shantipur, Lungshung - Ballamguri, Ultapani under Kokrajhar District of BTAD, Assam where atleast 26 Bodies were found till yesterday evening. In Sonitpur District which is adjacent to BTAD witnessed two separate attacks in Batashipur and Fulpur (Under Pavoi Reserve Forest) where atleast 36 innocent people specially women , children were Killed.

The attack in Peshawar that killed more than 100 children last week was just one of hundreds of Taliban attacks against schools, says a new report. And the violence is working, with millions of Pakistani children now out of school

Let’s make no mistake about it. The "ghar wapasi" - the so-called homecoming programmes being aggressively practiced by Hindutva outfits - is another term for the "merger" envisaged by Golwalkar. It is conversion by coercion, conversion by social and physical pressure.
