If you say so! But I don't necessarily agree with it, as I know, Assam has very
poor and very rich people.
She has those children that need help with the minimum necessities, and at the
same time, those with lakhs of rupees. I know of people spending at least 10
lakhs in their daughter's wedding.
So my point was, how is 10/14/17 (different figure in each different news
clips) lakhs a big amount?
I apologize if I gave the impression that I think that every one in Assam is a
Lakh-poti.
Also, if a government agency (a corrupted one, if I may say, as I read it in so
many places) is against a person, there is a possibility that anything is
possible.
About his involvement with the murder case, I read that a suspect that was
interrogated before, was close to his brother. So I don't exactly know what is
the case.
As I said I haven't seen/met him for 25+ years, or haven't lived in Assam for
more than two decades to know "everything". :)
But about the other things are from one side only, a powerful one, that is.
Many questions come into mind. Like, why would he call someone from Kolkata to
Delhi, and not to Guwahati, if at all, he is the one who called.
And until we know the truth, I would still go by the saying: "Two sides to
every coin and every story."
“In order to make spiritual progress you must be patient like a tree and humble
like a blade of grass.”
