Mr. Mukul Mahanta,
Your reply "I only asked" is not acceptable as an
apology. Your brother Mr. Chandan Mahanta has now verified that "Mukul
dada speculated on--a Hindu massacre of the 'lungi-menace' in his letter dated
March 8, 2006. You did not "I only asked" --- but you accused me of
a horrible crime by writing in the assam-net based on your speculation
which is a blatant insinuation.
Please don't advice me "Please say "No I did
not mean that way"" because I did not ask for your advice.
Please retract what you wrote and tender your
formal apologies.
Truly yours,
Himendra Thakur

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
