It is a BJP-led NDA government’s creation to appease gun-trotting Bodo militants and by including Muslim villages under the BTAD they planned the misery of the Muslims living in that area. Muslims had never been consulted or part of the talks. This is the shocking irony in India – the government talk to extremists, gift them political powers – but will never talk to the mass. After the formation of BTAD, several demands, agitations were launched asking the government to take out the non-Bodo villages, where Bodos are less than 50 percent, out of BTAD, but nobody paid any heed to these demands. Today, the situation turning ugly, everyone is talking about Bangladeshi because it appeals to the rightist elements and the poor Muslims are the easiest targets.
