@@@@ That it be preceded by a reasonable period of free and unfettered
discussion and debate among the people of Assam about the whys and
of the pros and cons of
sovereignty for Assam, so that people can make an informed
judgement.
######## Reasonable period means? would you be more specific? Should I
presume that 29 years are not reasonable enough for you? And people of Assam
have not discussed and debated about the pros and cons? C Da, I am, what do
you say? ........ Sorry, could not find the proper word. maybe you could
find one for me and substitute.
@@@@ That it be conducted under UN supervision.
####### UN supervision is quite acceptable. I mean to me and I presume to
all. Can't say anything about the Government though. Not really concerned
about the government as they have failed to provide the necessary security
and peace for the development of the region.
