>ULFA represents those who support them, not who oppose them
If they donot represent the whole
people of Assam, how do they plan to negotiate with GOI?
Do they have a list of supporters
to show to the GOI?
And how do you know that I
oppose ULFA?
In fact I am hopoing that they will
give me the new post of Borphukon of Jorhat.

ULFA represents those who support them, not who oppose them. One might
think that is somewhat elementary, isn't it?

*** That depends upon whether one can apply some ordinary
analytical skills.
Accountability of a government exists to the people that put
it in place.
ULFA is NOT accountable to those who would have it submit to
their inquisition. Nor is it accountable to those who would deny it its
existence.
Or was that much too complicated to figure out?

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

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'.
