This is a shocking news. It is a great blow to the cause of the Assamese. I hope younger Assamese IAS Officers will come forward to take up the cudgels for the cause of the Assamese ---- that will be the best tribute to Ashok Saikia.
Let us pray for the Peace of the Departed Soul. Let us --- his family and friends--- pray for strength to withstand the shock.
