PM assures no more attack on NE students in Delhi

Guwahati, Feb 7 (PTI) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh has expressed concern over the recent attacks on girl
students of the north eastern region of India in New Delhi and
said stern action would be taken against the culprits to
prevent such incidents.

The Prime Minister made the statement in a letter to
the North East Students Organisation (NESO) Chairman, Samujjal
Bhattacharya.
Replying to a complaint lodged to Singh by the NESO,
the Prime Minister said he had directed the authorities to
take stern action against the culprits.
"The North East people in Delhi is a peace loving
community which is making valuable contributions to the
academic and economic life of the city," Singh said in the
letter.
Bhattacharya told reporters he was happy to receive
such quick response to their complaint from the premier.
Bhattacharya, also advisor to the All Assam Students
Union (AASU), said that the complaint had been filed after a
girl from Nagaland was murdered in the national capital on
October 25 last year.
He said there were at least nine incidents of attack
on the students last year, particularly on girls, of the NE
region in New Delhi following which the students organisation
had approached Singh who represents Assam in Rajya Sabha. MORE
