Re: [Assam] [asom] Citizens' AppealSubject: Citizen's Appeal to the ULFA
Dear friends,
The correspondence appended below is triggered by the question:
who is the appeal directed to?
Failing to discern the answer to this question, the correspondent proceeds to
tabulate three possible alternatives:
(1) The Oxomiya people who might be harboring ill-will to the victims and
their kind ?
(2) Or the PROTECTORS in charge not doing or UNABLE to do their job?
(3) Or is it to the purported perpetrators ( PPs)?
All the 267 words of the correspondence go round and round these alternatives,
with customary mud-throwing like "the appeal REALLY is to demonstrate the piety
of the signatories", etc.
However, the answer to the question should have been seen right at the
beginning because it was there in the Appeal (titled as "Citizens' Appeal") :
"We unequivocally condemn this inhuman and barbarous act and appeal to the ULFA
to desist from such acts."
It is clear that the Appeal is directed to ULFA.
So, the entire rambling of the 267 disjointed words blithered by the
correspondent may be ignored to save time.
Let me reiterate that I signed the "Appeal" because it is directed to the ULFA
to desist from acts of senseless violence.
Let us not talk against each other. Whatever has happened in the past is past.
Let us look at the future. Let the ULFA surrender their arms, give up violence,
snap their connection with ISI and sit down at the negotiation table. Mamoni
tried her best --- she deserves to be rewarded with some sincere
change-of-heart by the ULFA.
I request all citizens to sign this "Citizens' Appeal".
With love to everybody,
Himendra

I didn't realize this required an appeal, heartfelt as it is.
But even if it did, who is the appeal directed to? The Oxomiya people who
might be harboring ill-will to the victims and their kind ?
Or the PROTECTORS in charge not doing or UNABLE to do their job?
Or is it to the purported perpetrators ( PPs)?
If it is the first--the Oxomiya jaati that is, lesser people than the
signatories one will have to surmise and heretofore uneducated or apathetic or
ruthless, what are the chances of the appeal registering?
If it is the the protectors not doing or unable to do their job, then, HOW
exactly will they be persuaded to mend their ways or raise their skills to face
up to their responsibilities? If they have not been able to do it over the last
twenty five years, in spite of overwhelming superiority of firepower, and
unflinching support of Oxom's best, as the signatories indicate, how will it
change now? Because Oxom's Best say so over the internet?
And if the appeal is to the PPs, why on earth would they listen to their
nemesis? Did I miss the new reasoning there might have been?
Correct me if I am wrong folks, but his odhom's ( despicable character's)
guess is that the appeal REALLY is to demonstrate the piety of the signatories
to anyone willing to pay heed. And what is a better place than the internet to
get the attention from the world's most privileged?
Irreverently as always, I remain the incorrigible 'soku-soroha'(one who
cannot stand to see others' good):

Citizens' Appeal
We are shocked and deeply distressed at the recent killings of more than
60 Hindi-speaking people by the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) in
different parts of the state. We unequivocally condemn this inhuman and
barbarous act and appeal to the ULFA to desist from such acts. The families of
the victims should immediately be compensated for adequately and the government
should do everything possible to provide the safety and security of life to the
Hindi-speaking people in the state. The government, political parties and all
concerned should act most cautiously and responsibly to bring the situation
under control. In this crisis time we also appeal to all sections of the people
to maintain calm and mutual trust and never to be carried away by any
provocations and rumors.
