Charging the UPA government of failing to control the situation arising out of the recent ethnic clashes in Assam, BJP president Nitin Gadkari on Friday said both the violence and resultant backlash in other parts of the country were not a communal clash but “been created by foreigners’’.
“It is the fallout of the continuous influx and settlement of foreigners such as Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the country. This is something that the UPA government has been encouraging by giving them voting rights and allowing them to vote in elections,” Gadkari said.
The BJP chief, who is on a two-day visit to Manipur, said the only way to prevent further eruptions is fencing the borders of the Northeastern states in order to check the influx of foreigners especially Bangladeshis.
“I have specially come to Manipur to send a message that the BJP is in complete solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Northeast .... A BJP goodwill mission will be visiting the states in the next 4-5 days to assure people here to return to these states and continue with their studies and their work,’’ said Gadkari.
