STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: The All Assam Minority Students' Union (AAMSU) on Wednesday met Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and urged him to continue taking strict action to weed out jihadi activities in the State.

Talking to The Sentinel on Thursday, AAMSU general secretary Minnatul Islam said that the organization welcomes the anti-jihadi crusade of the State Government, but wants that no innocent person should be victimized in the process.

Islam said that since a section of madrassas has become linked with jihadi activities, the AAMSU wants that all the madrassas of the State should be brought under a specific system. Simultaneously, AAMSU wants that madrassa education should be modernized.

Islam informed that the AAMSU will hold discussions with various organizations on September 4 regarding jihadis, madrassas and other relevant issues.

The Chief Minister was apprised about the impending discussion on Wednesday, Islam added.

The AAMSU has submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister regarding various issues and received a positive response, Islam said.

Islam said that the memorandum mentioned, among other things, that out of the 2,050 families evicted from Gorukhuti, 425 families were provided with land under the Dalgaon Revenue Circle. However, these families have not been provided with other basic facilities. The memorandum demanded proper rehabilitation of all the families evicted from Gorukhuti. The memorandum also demanded proper rehabilitation of the families evicted from the Nakhuti area of Lumding.

The memorandum further demanded a grant of land to families which have been rendered landless due to flood and erosion.

The memorandum also sought the establishment of a model college at Kharupetia, along with a grant of compensation to the families of the labourers from Assam who died or went missing while working in Arunachal Pradesh recently.
