Kokrajhar, April 16: Assam seems to be headed for an extended weekend as members of the All Bodo Women?s Welfare Federation have called a 12-hour state bandh tomorrow.

The bandh has been called in protest against the alleged assault on federation?s president Kanan Basumatary by supporters of Rabiram Narzary on April 9 and the killing of Bodo leader Lwithwma Borgoyari the same day.

On the other hand, the Rabiram Narzary faction of the Bodoland People?s Progressive Front (BPPF) has called a 12-hour Kokrajhar district bandh on Wednesday in protest against the administration?s failure to maintain law and order and against the killing of Borgoyari.

Lwithwma Borgoyari, a schoolteacher, was an adviser to the All Bodo Students? Union office at Simbargaon and a life member of the Bodo Sahitya Sabha.

President of the district unit of the Rabiram Narzary faction of the BPPF, Kishore Basumatary told mediapersons today that the Kokrajhar district administration had failed miserably to protect the life and property of civilians.

The BTC areas that went to polls on April 10 have been marred by pre as well as post-poll violence, in which two persons have been killed while over a dozen houses have either been torched or vandalised. While Borgoyari was killed in Chetnaguri, another youth Upen Borowas was clubbed to death at Bainari in Udalguri district on Saturday.

In a fresh incident of post-poll violence, supporters of Rabiram Narzary allegedly beat up and injured Riten Brahma and Toba Brahma, supporters of the Hagrama Mohilary faction of BPPF, at Sukhanjhora village in Kokrajhar district last night.

?It is a matter of great concern that the district administration has not taken the matter seriously and has done nothing to quell the violence. Even after one week of the murder of the schoolteacher, police are yet to arrest the culprit,? Basumatary added.

Demanding a judicial probe into the killing, Basumatary said: ?We demand the arrest of the killers within a week and severe punishment for them,? he said. He also scoffed at the 12-hour bandh call on Friday by the Hagrama faction of the BPPF saying: ?It only goes to show that even the ruling party has admitted that there is no law and order in the BTC. Hagrama should now step down owning moral responsibility for the situation?.
