Fine.
Did you see how Musharraf resolved the Balochistan "conflict". He bombed the
leader Bugti sky high with helicopter gunships. Guess he has a limit to
tolerating people who can be a pain in his a*r*s*e. Who knows - our leaders
might decide to use the same tactics oneday.
So stop inventing stories about Indian colonialism and show some flexibility
and consideration. Assamese are as much Indians as Gujjus, Punjus or Tamils.

Cong 5 spring Ulfa surprise
A STAFF REPORTER #
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070123/asp/northeast/story_7296247.asp
Guwahati, Jan. 22: Five Congress leaders three MLAs and two MPs have joined
hands to mount a campaign within the party for the release of jailed Ulfa
functionaries.
The group of five met at an undisclosed location today to chalk out a strategy
to convince Delhi and Dispur to free Pradip Gogoi, Bhimkanta Buragohain,
Mithinga Daimary, Ramu Mech and Pranati Deka. Gauhati High Court last week
allowed Mech to visit his ancestral village in Sivasagar district to attend his
father's shraddha.
The rationale behind the decision to campaign for the release of the five
militant leaders a condition set by Ulfa for talks is that it would put the
onus of reviving the peace process on the militant group.
"The government will lose nothing by releasing five militant leaders who are
not exactly in the pink of health. Even if they do the disappearing act, they
cannot possibly add to the outfit's strength," one of the legislators said.
Writer Mamoni Raisom Goswami, who initiated the now-defunct peace process, has
long been making the same argument. Her refrain has been that the government
should release the jailed leaders, leaving Ulfa to fulfil its part of the deal.
"If the militant outfit still does not come for talks, it will stand exposed,"
she has been quoted as saying on several occasions.
The government has, however, stuck to its stand of not freeing any of the Ulfa
leaders without the outfit showing any inclination for talks.
The group of five intends to move the high command and mobilise support within
the party to release the militant leaders if the government does not relent.
"There are many who feel the way we do, but are not speaking out," the
legislator said.
The group is also worried about Ulfa's threat to attack Congress workers.
Chief minister Tarun Gogoi has dismissed the threats as "nothing new" for the
party. "The Congress has always been under threat from Ulfa," he said recently.
While a few Congress workers have fallen to Ulfa bullets, several more in
Tinsukia have resigned from the party following threats. " The situation is
neither good for the party, nor for the people of the state," the legislator
said.
