Paragda, We Are Still Deprived Of Justice
Indeed, hoping against hope, the well wishers of the Parag Kumar Das family and the media fraternity in northeast India continue to wait for justice. Every year, civil society, advocacy groups and media persons in the region remember journalist-right activist Parag Kumar Das on May 17 and express resentment against the government, the investigative agency and the judiciary for failing to nab the culprits who killed the extremely talented journalist in 1996 in Guwahati. The editor of Asomiya Pratidin, a widely circulated Assamese daily from Guwahati, Paragda (as he was affectionately called by his younger generation of journalists) was shot dead in broad daylight in the Rajgarh locality of the city when he was bringing back his minor son from the school. http://www.paragdascentre.org/JournalistLife.htm _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
