Dear Mukul,
Are you out of your mind? When did I incite "young Assam INTELLECTUALS to kill a
million! Muslims?"
This is a blatant insinuation. You must take full
responsibility of what you wrote.
I demand you immediately retract what you wrote and
tender your apology to me.
Very truly yours,
Himendra

At your75 years you are inciting young Assam INTELLECTUALS to kill a
million! Muslims?
And you are saying 'One must take Responsibility' !!!!!
Best of luck.
