Again, I presume this above demand
must be a part of the greater demand for independent of Assam I believe.
But the million dollar question that everybody is asking, why GOI will listen to
your demand at all?
First yours is not a popular
demand like that of Congress in 1942 who took the resolution of 'Quite India'
against the British. You even failed to convince this netters here as well
as the middle class of Gujarat whom Chandan has already given up.
Second, in absence of such popular
support, what trump card you have for which GOI will continue its
negotiation any further?
Creating a sense of guilt
feeling in the minds of GOI for poor Assam?
You must be kidding!!!

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'.
