That should pretty much place those who are for Assam's continued
servitude in a huge majority and thus pave the way for a plebiscite
to put an end to the speculations, wouldn't it?
Why even bother about Assam Public Works' house to house interrogation poll?

Jeeez.. only 5% support sovereignty and this movement? Thats bad
even from a poll that one doesn't trust.
It is encouraging to note that that some 43% sent in their votes
thru surface mail.
Any reasons why the PCG did not publish the results? Also, does
this result in any way match up with those conducted by the Assam
Public Works (or Service) group?

Assam journalists condemn ULFA threat to editors
June 15, 2006 | Newswatch Desk | Newswatch
LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS OF THE ARTICLE ------->"The nine-member PCG,
formed on September 8, 2005, includes engineer Mukul Mahanta,
journalists Ajit Bhuyan, Haider Hussain and Diganta Konwar, medic
Brajen Gogoi, advocate Arup Borbora, advisor to the Asom
Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad Dilip Patgiri, advisor to the
Manab Adhikar Sangram Samiti Lachit Bordoloi, and sports organiser
Hiranya Saikia. Litterateur Indira Raisom Goswami and former
footballer player Rebati Phukan act as facilitators, and maintain
links between the government and the consultative group.
Shortly after it was formed, the group asked people of the state to
express their opinion about the peace process. About 5,670 people
responded to that survey of which 1,500 odd were through SMS,
another 1,700 through e-mails, and rest through land mail. The
results of the survey were not announced Amar Asom exposed it. The
result, according to the newspaper, only 300 or so people supported
ULFA and its cause, while the rest voiced their opinion in the
negative."

Looks like PCG too tried similar polls .... not sure
if the pollsters were uneducated and "IMMATURE,
UNINFORMED and UNREALISTIC to the core".
PCG was too shy to publish the results :-)
BTW, while it is fair to assume that visitors of
<http://assamtimes.org/>assamtimes.org (or even those who responded to PCG)
are not a fair representation of Assam, can someone
explain WHO forms a fair representation of Assam ---
the villagers who lynch ULFA every now and then, the
School teachers who are killed by ULFA, the traders
whose business get impacted because of regular
bombblast, the journalists who are threatened by
ULFA, the intellectuals (including AXX) who discard
the idea of Sovereignty, the NRAs ??????
Entirely faulty premise for the poll.
WHO visits <http://assamtimes.org/>assamtimes.org ? Are they a fair
representation of Assam's polity?
If the pollsters are as uneducated about as simple
an issue as this,
what will anybody learn from it?
IMMATURE, UNINFORMED and UNREALISTIC to the core.
