"Be that as it may, the demand note to the ONGC will not hamper the peace process since extortion by
militants is not unusual."
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'.

It may be because MMG is
a writer, who by nature of her tribe normally likes to think rather on
the right hand side of the brain, but she definitely has problems
with basic logic which is controlled as we know by the left hand side of the
brain.
Normally, an unbiased logical
mind (just normal garden variety type) would like to draw the following
conclusion instead,
"Since the ULFA has neither
admitted nor denied the issuance of the demand note to the ONGC, it is
too early to say that the letter was not from
ULFA."
"Be that as it may, the demand note to the ONGC
will not hamper the peace process since extortion by militants is not
unusual."
It is like saying,
"thik ase, hobo diok baru, tewlwok baru bea manuh, apwna
lwke ki korise. Apwna lwke negotiate nai kora karonehe tewlwke bhoi
dekhuaise."
No MMG, it HAMPERS the PEACE PROCESS BIG TIME.
And Chandan already said, GOI will not be THE
looser.
Upai Nai!!

Heh-heh-heh!
So MRG too is one of the bad-guys now?
GoI can mouth off peace mantras, frothing in the mouth about how there
is no problem that could not be resolved with 'democracy', while hunting
down ULFA, without nary a whimper from the now-outraged.
What is surreal here is for the same FAIR and NEUTRAL folks to be
outraged when ULFA plays its cards.
Come on Ram. Give us a break! Who are you kidding?

Highlights are
mine.
I can't believe
this. "Be that as it may .......". So, is it Kay Sara, Sara,.... Dr.
Goswami? or is hope against hope that the ULFA can do what it pleases, but
the GOI must hold parleys under any circumstances.
