Umesh,you have raised the most poignant and relevant question. Despite a miserable track records of successive Govt.of Assam in day-to-day administration or in law-and-order or civic affairs----subjects in which the Center just can't and does not poke its nose---ULFA is issuing the call for sovereignty.Sovereignty for what ? For running personal fiefdoms ?
The call to hold a plebiscite is unwarranted.We have a Government out there in Assam,elected by the universal adult franchise inspite of the fact that the ULFA gave a clarion call to boycott the election.
