Pro-fool now dares not say "Not me--They told Them--to---". He Dares not. They
will take away his 10 Black Cats and then be probed by IT Dept/CBI for 'Wealth
not commensurate with income shown'.
Hanhi Ram may also not have the last laugh - and 'lived happily ever after'
by default.People may be cleverer than somebody preparing this drama.
K.N. Saikia "Report" might be the engineered Fig-Leaf :
under which Army will be withdrawn to Happy Camps(Sorry but no more free
D.A,T.A,Hardship Allowances- available for Operations Duty). And world will be
told "See no more UNIFIED COMMAND(NATO+Europe in-60's)" .And the 5 senile
'Leaders ' RELEASED saving so much upkeep.
"Come home Our Very Own Dear Boys .Let us now forget the darkest chapter of our
history. Join us. Help us build a Real Xwonor Oxom". This tearful call will go
out.
In today's Press Conference he promised action against ALL involved --as per
recommendation of the 'LegalTeam' that he will constitute 'in 1 month'.
Somebody asked 'Police too?'. He said " Yes ,Police too".
Of course - Hanhiram promised yesterday 'total Modernization and High-Teching
to our devoted Police force'
Out in Delhi --also on 14th ,Defence Minister AK Anthony declared " There is
NoQuestion of our alert Armed forces EVER slackening their vigil in NE to keep
our nation together . And we areproud of Armed forces' members and families
fulfilling their ' Social responsibility ' by trying to bring the depressed
communities in NE to national standard "
And the Show goes on.

helm of secret killings in Assam: Saikia Commission Sushanta Talukdar
Guwahati: The Justice K.N. Saikia Commission has indicted the former Chief
Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, the then police hierarchy and the Home
Ministry for the “extra-constitutional killings” which occurred in Assam during
1998-2001. “There is enough evidence to show that the then Home Minister was at
the helm of these extra-constitutional killings,” the one-man Commission said.
Mr. Mahanta, who was heading the Asom Gana Parishad-led government, was also
Home Minister during this period.
The report of the Commission, constituted by the State government to probe the
“secret killings” of family members of leaders and cadres of the United
Liberation Front of Asom, was tabled in the Assembly by Chief Minister Tarun
Gogoi on Thursday.
About the motive behind the “secret killings,” the Commission said it was
“perpetuation of the AGP rule by villainy, treachery and monstrous cruelty and
dangerous propensity.”
“Remote orchestration”
The common characteristics of the cases and evidence “prove beyond reasonable
doubt, remote orchestration of killing from the Home Ministry, through
police-SULFA [surrendered ULFA] nexus using some SULFAs as the striking arms or
executioners. The authority may be held liable and be dealt with according to
law.”
The Commission recommended to the government “to try to first keep in abeyance,
and then gradually dismantle” the Unified Command structure of the Army, the
Assam police and the Central paramilitary forces as an immediate measure to
prevent recurrence of such killings.
The Commission observed some common characteristics — each killing involved an
ULFA family or an ULFA related family, the investigations mostly fizzling out
or ending in Final Reports or investigations pending, but no clue. No charge
sheet was submitted in any case. Most of the killings occurred at dead of
night, and the assailants invariably spoke in Assamese to wake up the victims.
“The assailants were invariably armed with sophisticated firearms of prohibited
bores, and masked with black wrappers or caps to avoid being identified,” the
report said. The weapons used in the killings were invariably firearms of
different sizes, bores and calibres, mostly of prohibited bores normally found
in police-military situations. As firearms with prohibited bores were used,
forensic/ballistic examinations of exhibits were mostly avoided or unduly
delayed, and the investigation ultimately fizzled out. The vehicles used were
mostly Maruti Gypsies and vans and always without registration numbers. There
was police patrolling in the crime areas prior to and after, but not during the
killings.
Army ubiquitous
The Army was ubiquitous. “By Army, we mean the armed forces of the Union
deployed in Assam in aid of civil power. There was lurking evidence of
police-SULFA nexus in the killings, some of the latter being constituted as an
extra-constitutional authority and used as executioners. The modus operandi
being to visit the family, ask members to persuade its ULFA members to
surrender, failing which, to send an advance team to survey the location and
structure of the house, then to send armed and masked men at dead of night,
knock at the door to wake up the inmates and then drag him/them out and shoot
him/them dead, or take him/them away and secretly kill and throw the bodies
somewhere.”
The report said there was “general resentment” against the Unified Command
Structure/Chief Minister.”
In its action taken report, the government said it accepted the Commission’s
recommendation to revive 20 cases for re-investigation. As for keeping in
abeyance and gradually dismantling the Unified Command structure, it said the
recommendation would be considered in conjunction with the prevailing situation
at the time of the tri-monthly review of the structure.
Another report tabled
The government also tabled the preliminary report of the Justice J.N. Sharma
Commission, constituted prior to the setting up of the Saikia Commission.
Justice Sharma said he was not able to identify the killers and accomplices,
and pinpoint responsibility.
