Addressing the protest meeting organised at the Guwahati Press Club, the four journalists, D.N. Chakrabarty, Nava Thakuria, Ronen Goswami and Rupam Baruah, condemned the escalating campaign of violence, particularly bomb attacks in markets, which have been attributed to the banned extremist group. In a statement e-mailed to the media here, fugitive commander in chief of the outfit Paresh Baruah, who is suspected to be master-minding ULFA operations in the state from his shelter in Bangladesh, threatened the four journalists for daring to mobilise public protest against the outfit. The ULFA commander stated that the outfit didnt bother about such protests by agents of Indian colonial rulers and warned that it would not hesitate from punishing the four journalists for holding a campaign against the outfit. Responding to an anti-terror call given by 14 citizens, including writers, journalists and social activists, hundreds of people took out a protest march from the club on May 31. Raising anti-ULFA slogans, the protesters went through several busy streets in the city. Kick-starting the march, veteran journalist D. N. Chakrabarty termed the latest incidents of explosions as the fourth invasion of Assam by ULFA in intensity and devastations, the previous three being those of the Burmese troops in pre-British old Assam. Similar protests against ULFA were witnessed in the wake of a blast during the Independence Day celebrations at Dhemaji in north Assam in 2004 that killed 13 persons, mostly schoolchildren.
