Just like in the past, once again the Muslims killing in Assam is on the rise. A lot of Muslims have been killed by Bodo Tribes in the month of Ramadan and so a lot them are now living in refugee camps where the situation is worse than normal life. This issue has also reminded the Muslim killing in Assam back in the 80s. Bodo organizations and political parties are of the view that this situation is the result of undiminished mass arrival from Bangladesh. But Muslims claim that the people who are being the victim of violence are not immigrants, rather they are originating and living members of the community. The persistent mass arrival has fueled to the fire and it has created dispute between the Bodos and immigrants. Political parties of India also declared the illegal migration as the cause for this violence. In the last days of July, some persons who were riding on the bike killed two Muslims as a result of dispute at a mosque. This incident ignited the killings between the Bodos and Muslims of Bengal. The beginning of the violence was led by the Muslims killing the Bodo villages like Joypur in the district of Kokrajhar. Then Bodos started killing Muslims. Killers are a permanent source of terror for public, police and army as well. Camps have been set up for residence of these Muslims who have been dispatched from their homes. A lot of people have been killed till now including Muslims and Bodos and most of them are Muslims.
