I think if ULFA would come up with a solid plan how to spend that 5 billion dollar for Assam and agree to put that money in a common World Bank account to be spent only for the cause of Assam, I would support the ULFA move and would demand the money from GOI instead and not from ONGC. But I will not support ULFA if they want to collect the money and spend in Bangladesh Movie industry or any other personal investment depriving the people of Assam and making the people of Assam even poorer.
 
Parallel govts must have its own accountability.
 
Assamese people are saying NO to Hobo Diok.
They are saying : Amar Upai Nai.

Heh! heh! Barua, that is yet another explanation for the faux pas.
 
The idea seems to put the onus on the GOI. But who knows?

Thinking again, I think the above statement by MRG may be a 'wish' statement. Note the adverb  'will not'. Normally only a spekeperson from GOI wiould use the phrase 'will not'. MRG should have used  'should not', but by using the 'word 'will not', she is in fact wishing to tell the GOI, " Of course, you are not going to stop the negotiations simply because of this demand note, are you? You know these milliants do this kind of thing al the time.  You better hurry to do the negotiations so that they will not do such things." In fact she is wishing that the demand note issue may be used as a some kind of trump card and force GOI to do some realpolitics. Otherwise, I could not see why she used 'will not' without any authority and did not use 'should not'.
