What perplexes me is the chutzpah, displayed by "The Lost Children of Assam" (albeit grossly overgrown---read ULFA) in demanding a plebiscite by evoking the citizen's right. Have they forgotten that when a person seeks to secede, he or she ceases to be a citizen, period? It's strange, the way some people would bend the Constitution to suit their own purposes. As I see it, either one follows the law, or one gets it changed in Parliament via rousing the public opinion.........a democracy in a long-established political unit permits no other way.
