Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) vice-president Surinder Singh Ahluwalia visited the relief camps where people from violence hit Assam have taken shelter.
"After visiting about four camps here, tomorrow we will be visiting the camps in Assam. Then we will submit a report. We will demand that they are provided with proper rehabilitation. They must regain the confidence in the government which will ensure all possible help," said Ahluwalia.
Militants fighting for a separate homeland for indigenous Bodo tribesmen went on a killing spree in Assam on December 23, killing at least 80 people in four attacks in the space of an hour, the deadliest violence in months.
The victims of the attacks were mostly tea-plantation workers from various states. Assam has a history of sectarian bloodshed and armed groups fighting for autonomy or secession.
Militants targeted plantation workers in retaliation for an offensive against them launched by security forces a month ago.
Meanwhile, Shashwati, a native of Assam taking shelter in a relief camp in Siliguri, said she is scared to go back to Assam.
"We don't want to get back to Assam because including this attack we have faced such violent attacks thrice. We have taken shelter in West Bengal because the present situation in Assam is very tense. We are looking forward to get assistance from the Bengal government in terms of rehabilitating us," she said.
Police officials of West Bengal had on December 30 had sent relief materials to the victims in Assam.
Some 7,000 villagers have fled their homes in Assam, fearing more attacks from the Bodo militants and are sheltered in relief camps guarded by the army and police.
