Northeast India : Where scribe falls prey to miscreants' bullets

At least 20 editor-journalists were killed in Assam during the last 17 years 
and surprisingly enough not a single perpetrator of these heinous crimes was 
booked under the law- this is how a Northeast India based journalist rights 
body expressed its concern and resentments. In a memorandum to the Indian 
President Pratibha Devisingh Patil, Journalists' Action Committee, Assam (JACA) 
also argued that the media fraternity had shown their mettle to pursue the 
democratic values in Northeast, where scores of secessionist armed cadres 
remained active, and hence it must be the duty of the government to ensure 
their safety.
