Mr. Mukul Mahanta,
This is now a 10 day notice to you
(1) to retract your accusation that I incited "young Assam INTELLECTUALS to kill a
million! Muslims?"
and
(2) to tender your formal apologies.
After 10 days, I'll send this matter to my
attorneys.
Yours truly,
Himendra Thakur

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
