Before we pass judgement on the response, we also ought to be able to
judge the QUESTION.
What were the questions posed by Utpal designed to ?
To help him and others decide, if what ULFA has been fighting for,
Assam's sovereignty, is a sound and beneficial move for Assam? And
if they are persuaded by ULFA's response that they are sound, Utpal
and others would SUPPORT it?
Or were they designed to extract an admission from ULFA, that their
own notions and beliefs, that it is
patently bad for Assam, never mind HOW or WHY they have concluded
that their notions and beliefs are the truly wise and considered
opinions?
Is it therefore REASONABLE to evaluate INTENT for ULFA before
submitting itself to the INQUISITION?
Where is the ORDINARY integrity expected of the intelligentsia here,
if one can misuse the English word under the circumstances? The
sincerity of purpose?
It is obvious that those who consider themselves the 'educated'
and'wise', unlike ULFA, and who parade around wearing the garbs of
pillars-of society do not think so and thus the eloquent outpourings
of disappointment, not to mention the offenses to their genteel
sensitivities . Not just that, the self-fulfilling prophecies too of
the band of braves indulging in the "hola gosot baagi kuthar mora"
enterprise, justification why their masters don't talk to them, or
should not.
What is missing from the exercises is a rudimentary element of AIM
of GOALS. Never mind the need to explore the reasons WHY ten
thousand plus Oxomiyas have given their lives. No doubt their lives
were nearly not as valuable as one Sanjoy Ghosh's.
Aimless exercises unfortunately lead to nowhere. With such pillars
of society looking after its well-being, one hardly needs enemies to
tear it down.

Well, in case they have to do a background check in my case, let me
tell you that my life has been an open book and if a background
check is requird in my case, it simly shows how much these people
are in touch with reality or the ground situations.
Incidentally, let me also tell, that there has been enough
background checks done about these people, their cohorts,
sympathisers, beneficiaries, supporters, hangers one and what not.
Lot of people already know who benefits from their actions, who are
actually propping them up. For example when they killed Sanjay
Ghosh, it did not require much background check to find out why they
did so, what was the nexus behind that sordid deal and who would be
the real losers if Majuli is genuinely saved in a very cost
effective manner. Obviously, they are buying time to prepare some
obfuscating response, what we may call "saale bere kobowa" reply in
the name of background checks and what not.
Also they have already said that they would ignore "halfwit
questions and questioners". How more selective can your comfort zone
be...
Interestingly, I was reading something today and I came across the
follwoing phrase: The truth is that many terrorists are doing very
well out of violence. Extortion rackets give them a lifestyle they
cannot aspire in times of peace. They have money, excitement and
status: what more you seek in life?

ULFA invites genuine sincere questions from persons(not gangs)
not happy with their so-called education ,wanting to KNOW how to
fight and win their great future in sovereign Assam .
Firstly we will have background checks done on real (?)
questioners. Please tolerate delays.
ULFA will ignore halfwit questions and questioners who think they
already know and are already bonded mentally or monetarily.
With Best Regards to respectable Assamonliners,
Rubi
