GUWAHATI, Aug 31 (UNI): The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has demanded the immediate implementation of the recent Supreme Court's verdict which had been brougt after scrapping of the Illegal Migrants Determination Tribunal(IMDT) Act,1983.
An ABVP delegation from Assam had met Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil in Delhi on August 24 and opposed any move either to amend the Foreigners Act of 1946 or bring a new law to replace IMDT in order to 'safeguard' the illegal infiltrators in the name of minority population.
Talking to newspersons, ABVP state secretary Simanta Roy Chowdhury said his organisation favoured the upgradation of National Register for Census (NRC) to detect and deport illegal migrants with 1951 as the base year.
The Centre and the Assam government have already announced to update the NRC with March 25,1971, as the cut off year.
The ABVP has also objected to any discrimination on border management between the Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh border.
ABVP, BJP's student wing, also demanded immediate fencing of border with Bangladesh in north east.
Roychowdhury said the delegation also met the Election Commission in Delhi to take up the case of 3.5 lakh (disputed) voters in Assam.
The ABVP regretted that a good number of "genuine" voters were marked as disputed and were deprived from exercising their democratic voting right.
The ABVP delegation also met leader of the opposition L K Advani and urged him to pressurise the centre to implement the verdict by the supreme court on IMDT.
