Thanks!

The Government has not shown any > reason behind its move to stop the lecture barely half an hour before > its scheduled beginning. The lecture was scheduled to be delivered by Ms > Makiko Kimura, a post-doctoral fellow, Japan Society for Promotion of > Science. > According to the senior fellow and head of CENISEAS, Prof. Sanjib > Baruah, Assam Home Commissioner BM Mazumdar sent a faxed message to the > CENISEAS, barely half an hour before the start of the lecture, > requesting it not to hold any lectures of this sorts without prior > discussion with the State Government. The fax message, according to > Prof. Baruah, cited no reason for its move to cancel the lecture. > Talking to The Sentinel, Prof. Baruah said that the State Government > could have prevented them from holding the lecture as soon as the > reports of the lecture had come out in the local media. "We have brought > a foreign scholar for the lecture, and its cancellation at the eleventh > hour does not send a good message to the outside world," Prof. Baruah > said, and added, "Such lectures are generally attended by very few > people, that too, only intellectuals, and such, I don't think the > lecture will disturb the communal harmony in the State." > > > _______________________________________________ > Assam mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam > > Mailing list FAQ: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html > To unsubscribe or change options: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam _______________________________________________ Assam mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam Mailing list FAQ: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html To unsubscribe or change options: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam
