Initially there was attack by People on Muslims mainly, from Bangladesh.
Subsequently Muslims attacked the people from the North East in Pune, Mumbai which was followed by attacks in other parts of the Country.
(By the way, why do people as ‘Minority community’ instead of calling them as Muslims or Christians if they are involved in unlawful activities?
Or you can call by name only the Hindus?
Some secularism!)
Now The Government is pointing out Pakistani elements for this trouble.
No doubt, Pakistan might be involved.
It is their job.
The Government is conveniently avoiding to face the issue.
The fact is there are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, since 1971.
The Government did nothing to get them repatriated to Bangladesh.
All the Governments played the Religious card to get votes and did not take any action.
The locals resent this.
The attack in Assam is the result of this.
Now the issue of attack in the other States.
The people in other States were awaiting this opportunity.
In general, it is a fact that the people from the North East indulge in unruly behaviour,banditry and Dacoity.
There have been instances of molestation.
Now you find more people from the North East in the South, especially in Hotels as plate cleaners, servers, building labourers.
One has to see the top Restaurants in Bangalore and OMR Road In Chennai to check on this.
The Employers pay them one third of what one has to pay for the locals.
Labourers are paid Rs 100 ?Day against Rs 300 for building works.
A Restaurant pays them Rs 150′ Day against 400 for locals!
And these people work in areas where IT Professionals are concentrated.
We know their Lifestyle.
Money does not seem to matter.
When an impoverished people see people so well off , they are tempted to indulge in anti-social activity.
The issue is to be addressed by paying proper wages and help them integrate into the local population.
No use in shifting blame.
You are sitting on a Volcano

In an effort to instill confidence among the northeasterners living in Bangalore, deputy chief minister incharge of home R Ashoka himself will be leading night patrolling in the sensitive areas of the city ahead of Eid.
Neelasandra, Shivajinagar, Anepalya, Koramangala are some of the areas where large population of northeasterners are concentrated in the city. “Night patrolling is to instill confidence among them and send a message that government is with them and the people have nothing to fear about,” Ashoka told TOI on Sunday. Night patrolling by the minister is expected to continue for couple of days.
Though exodus has come down by a great extent, the state government doesn’t want to take chance as northeasterns fear that attack on them would start once Eid is over on Monday. About 30,000 people have so far reportedly fled the city.
