Nagaland is overwhelmed by illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Their number has been multiplying in geometric proportions over the past few years and Nagaland is in all probability fast becoming the next Tripura. Now, like any other major town in Nagaland, Mokokchung town too is under demographic siege by these shrewd Bangladeshis.
Some true sons of the soil circulated a leaflet in Mokokchung town recently bringing to light the evil designs of the Bangladeshi intellectuals to create an Islamic State in North East India in collaboration with international Islamic organizations like the Muslim World League, the International Islamic Relief Organization and the dreadful international terrorist organization of Al Qaeda. These fundamentalist Islamic organizations are reportedly implementing their policies through the ISI and the DGFI agents.
Among many other facts, the leaflet also mentions the truth that Bangladeshi social scientists have thoroughly studied the Naga culture, social practices and customary laws so as to debase the very fabric of the traditional Naga society.
As is Mokokchung town today, one is awe-struck that every second person you come across in the heart of the town is an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant with forged documents validating their identity. Now then, is it not the responsibility of the Administration and the Police to control this? Or, are you being bribed? Your apathy and indifference towards the problem makes one wonder if you are a good beneficiaryof the the 35 Crore US Dollars sanctioned by the ISI through the Islamabad based Islamic Development Bank of Pakistan for realizing their long cherished dream of carving out a “Greater Bangladesh” or “Bangistan”. ILPs issued and checked without any proper scrutiny is one clear proof that you are being bribed and that you are not being honest to yourself and to God.
Mokokchung based social and tribal apex bodies should also wake up to the world of reality, lest you find a Bangladeshi-Occupied-Mokokchung when you finally wake up from your long deep slumber. The Ao Senden should answer as to whom Mokokchung belongs to- Nagas or Bangladeshis. Is it not we, your very own sons and daughters, who should rightly inherit this beloved fatherland of ours and not the Bangladeshis? The Watsû Mungdang, instead of squandering herself in attending to unnecessary activities, like organizing a petty beauty pageant, should rather learn to face reality and deal with the real hard issues, lest you remain for all eternity as just another petticoat organization as you are! The Ao Kaketshir Mungdang, instead of busying yourself in nitty-gritty activities should pull up your sleeves and fight the issue tooth and nail or humbly dissolve yourself and give way to the Bangladeshis.
Its not that we must live to fight, but that we must fight so that we may live – in peace. We must not allow any misconceived notions of secularism, pacifism, sentimentalism and emotionalism blind us from the reality. Compromising themes like mutual and peaceful co-existence, humanitarian grounds and other such mediocre andcowardly excuses do not have any room as far as preserving our beloved homeland, our nationality and our people, race, culture, heritage and identity is concerned. The bottom line is, we need a hard and fast “Either-Or”. Its either we Nagas, or them Bangladeshis. Or, should we simply leave the matter as it is and allow the bastardization of Naga society right in front of our very own eyes? No. Let the great mass of the people of Mokokchung arise in unison, one more time. Kuknalim.
Lijaba Ao,
Mokokchung
