The United Liberation Front of Asom was perpetrating violence against
Hindi-speaking people in Assam at the instigation of India's enemies, Chief
Minister Tarun Gogoi said on Thursday.
The killing of six people in Dibrugarh and Sibsagar districts by the ULFA
has demonstrated that the enemies of the country are prompting them to
resort to such acts, Gogoi told reporters in Guwahati.
They are not interested in the peace and prosperity of Assam or in finding
a final and peaceful settlement to their problem, Gogoi aid.
Referring to Sunday's killing of five protestors who had blocked NH-37 in a
clash with tea garden workers at Doomdooma in Tinsukia district, Gogoi
blamed the incident on the ULFA and leaders of the People's Committee for
Peace Initiative in Assam, an overground body of organisations sympathetic
to the banned group.
I am not blaming the innocent protesters, but the ULFA and PCPIA leaders
for instigating the demonstrators leading to violence there, Gogoi said.
Asked why he had not visited the protestors, who wanted to speak to him
about the killing of a villager by the army after he was mistaken for an
ULFA militant, Gogoi said, As a chief minister, it is not possible for me
to go wherever there is an incident.
Gogoi said there was no justification for the protests to continue after two
ministers were sent, compensation was announced for the villager's family,
the army apologised and an inquiry was ordered into the incident.

I am sure C'da will come at y'all (as we say in Texas) with guns a-blazin. There is one slight correction that is needed ***But, I have often said that if the ulfa or some other group was really, really fighting for a cause, and with all sincerity, I would be the first one to at least give them the respect they deserve (even if I do not agree with their cause).

Are they going to give the reasons? You first did your patented qualitative analysis of these questions to classify them as dumb, dumber and dumbest. But let me assure you, many people in Assam are asking these seemingly dumb questions. While trying to work out intelligent responses to these dumb questions, you came out with not dumb; but some very disgusting explanations.

Can we go back to your intelligent responses to these dumb questions one by one? TAXATION Try explaining this taxation scheme to those belonging to the samples I have given below. I am just limiting to few-with little effort I can post to you some copies of extortion notices (sorry tax advices) also. 1) This guy from humble background from Abhayapuri by grace of reservation/education in an engineering college gets a job in Public sector (OIL-Duliajan). Settles down, gets married and commits his first mistake of family life-taking an easy PSU provided loan buys a brand new Maruti 800 (it was late eighties). The happiness was short lived-the new car was whisked away never to be seen again for Xongothon activities. Served him right for being materialistic!! 2) Try explaining this taxation to tea tribes who have to resort to strike every year for timely payment of few thousands of rupees as Puja bonus where as their employers have to pay millions of rupees to these outfits. By the way as you can see-the polarization is complete now. These guys will rip you apart if you talk of independence and taxation. There is no solidarity-leave alone on the ULFA front but also on the army atrocities on innocent people as long as people dying are from the other side of the fence. 3) Or to the GMC trained Assamese government doctor posted in Diphu donating part of his monthly salary to UPDS coffer. 4) Or to this Assamese teacher in NC Hills (few of the last remaining breed-will be forced to rush to plain as soon as Dimaraji is claimed) who is visited by Hindi speaking DHD cadres every month. 5) Or to those contractors who still dare to do some theeka thukali in Bodoland. By the way is there any rare instance of this taxed money being used for a purpose like monetary help to those innocent people killed by armed forces in the name of ULFA hunting? Do you know of any instances? STRATEGIC ALLINACE Mahanta da –you gave a good justification why some of the ULFA leaders are holed up in BDesh. Strategic reason-good reasoning! Ram da unnecessarily lambasted you on this. Can I ask you a personal question? How far will you go on endorsing such spineless strategic alliance where the voice of the protagonist gets muffled by those pulling the strings? And if tomorrow they take this BDesh/ISI aided anti-India stance to extreme and declare that they would like to see Assam as an independent IRA (Islamic Republic of Assam) asking a segment of squabbling people forgo their religious independence for the sake of national independence of Assam. Will you still support them and endorse this as a strategic shift. Or you have set some limit up to which you will go on supporting ULFA's strategic alliance and then no

[Assam] PM wins record fourth RS term from Assam ( http://www.northeasttribune.com/6905.htm)
PM wins record fourth RS term from Assam NET News Network Guwahati, May 17: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was today elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Assam for a record fourth consecutive term in the Upper House of Parliament. Assam assembly Secretary and Returning Officer G P Das said the Prime Minister was declared elected unopposed from one of two Rajya Sabha seats in the state as the third contestant, independant candidate Matang Sinh, withdrew from the race. It is only due to my respect for the Prime Minister that I am withdrawing from the race, Singh, a former Union minister, said. Singh and AGP's Kumar Deepak Das, the only two candidates in the fray, were declared elected unopposed much before the scheduled date for the polls of May 24. In his illustrious political career, Singh became Assam's representative to the Rajya Sabha for the first time in 1991. He has been elected to the House of elders from the state ever since. During this period, he was the Union finance minister from 1991 to 1996 and ushered in economic reforms and liberalisation. Singh became Prime Minister after Congress President Sonia Gandhi refused the post in 2004. Kumar Deepak Das, the nominee of the main opposition Asom Gana Parishad and a former minister, earned his maiden entry to the Upper House. Meanwhile, in a telephonic conversation with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi , Prime Minister has expressed his gratitude to the people of Assam and the member of Assam Legislative assembly for electing him consecutively for the fourth time http://www.northeasttribune.com/6905.htm - Office firewalls, cyber cafes, college labs, don't allow you to download CHAT?

Re: [Assam] End this disease called ULFA
Hi Mohan: If the two hoots can bring some boys back home and bring them to the mainstream of life. I do not mind being ridiculed *** I wouldn't either. However, what are the chances ? I would think offering of a puja at an important temple will hold a higher potential :-). That is the point I was trying to drive home; the ineffectiveness or more precisely the absence of realism in the various posts by netters who could expected to be far more result oriented than their proposals indicate. I don't devalue your good-will. That is all very good. But good-will or good-wishes sans realism will do little to cure that 'mohamari' that you all have been railing against. You have been prolifically writing hate words towards India. *** I think you are misusing the English language here Mohan. Will you be able to point out WHICH words in my posts you can consider HATE WORDS against India, or for that matter against anybody else; people, state, culture or religion? Yes, I do write a lot of critical things about India. But that is different from HATE. And if you find those criticisms untrue, unfair or otherwise unwarranted, then all you need to demolish them, putting me in my place, is to point them out. Rebut. Refute. It is good for you to try that. Because you will need to do your homework to do so, and in the process will become more informed. I know you are a well-meaning person. I will never take offense with such rebuttals or showing netters how or why I am wrong. It will actually be a PLEASURE to see someone doing that CREDIBLY and EFFECTIVELY . Would demonstrate a sincerity of purpose and instill pride in my fellowmen's abilities. I do not have a islamic paranoia. I have both Pakistani and Bangladeshi friends. I would any day like a free and open trade between these countries and a open border. *** Who would not? Even Narendra Modi would love to do that :-). But that does not prove or disprove anything. Remember, I did not say Pakistani's or Bangladeshi's. I specifically said ISIThis is a militant organization with extreme hate towards India. Ido not support any form of violence or extremism. *** I would not badger you on this, only because I know you mean well. But I also know very well where the ISI-paranoia amongst desis spring from. It has everything do with deeply-rooted Hindu /Muslim bigotries and animus so pervasive in north, central, west and south India, translated to ownership pretenses of Kashmir, never mind what the Kashmiris who call it home want, leading to the Pakistan/India conflicts that gave rise to ISI and Jihad and has escalated into today's Islamic and Hindu militancy. Assam and the contiguous states and Bengal , barring the Hindu Siletis displaced from today's B'desh, have been relatively free of that debilitating desi condition. Only in recent years, thanks to Hindian influences, compounded by the GoI propaganda to discredit ULFA, has this ISI paranoia begun to take root in Assam. It is in the exact same vein as that of the CIA paranoia during the cold-war. Only now we have begun to learn how overblown it was. I don't dispute the fact of ISI's dirty record. So is RAW's. But ISI cannot be THAT powerful. ISI today is the code-word for demonizing everything associated with Islam. And its cultivated fear is an essential GLUE to hold the tattered bonds of Indian nationalism together. This is what ULFA has done for Assam. The rest of the country has grown in leaps and bounds. But Assam is still miles behind. Its growth fettered by this cankerous grwoth called ULFA. *** That argument is another propaganda designed by Indians and Indian apologist Oxomiyas. How will you answer to the question of Assam's condition BEFORE ULFA happened? Why was it so? Can you tell me, with a straight face that if ULFA disappeared today, tomorrow Assam's prosperity will take off the ground ? That its problems will disappear like a bad dream? Think about that Mohan. How come in this net only you speak for the ULFA, as if you can read their minds and speak on their behalf? *** First off, I don't speak FOR ULFA. Nor am I a mind-reader, ULFA's or others'. But I am informed. And my information is not based on Indian propaganda or Assam establishment's propaganda. It used to be that I too thought and spoke like you guys regarding ULFA at one time. But pretty soon I began to see, right here thru Assamnet what has been going on . And I dug deeper. More I sought, more I found. And thus my entire outlook changed to where it is today. That is why I wrote to Dilip Deka yesterday that people can and do change. It all depends on one's desire to seek the truths. One can take the position that he knows all he needs to know and remain there. Or can take the analytical approach and go wherever it may lead to. Choice is ours. It so happens, I had taken the latter path all my life. I have never been

[Assam] Rongali Bihu in London (Letter to the editor, The Sentinel, 18.05.07)
Rongali Bihu in London Through The Sentinel, I would like to tell the people of Asom and the Asomiya diaspora in general as to how Bihu was celebrated in London this time. Rongali Bihu in London was celebrated with zeal and much fanfare. The sound of the mellifluous Bihu songs and the rhythm of Bihu dance reverberated in the air, even as the authentic Asomiya pitha and laru once again brought the spirit of Rongali Bihu to London. The Asomiya community of the UK, and those with some connection to the Asomiya community, gathered at St Andrews Hall, Southgate, London, to celebrate Rongali Bihu on May 6. The heart-warming music of Bihu and classical Indian music together created a unique and congenial cultural mix. The classical music was by Mandira Lahiri, an accomplished classical vocalist from India, and the light music was by various artistes based in the UK. A chorus of a popular Asomiya song and an educative and entertaining Alekhya, depicting the relationship between the Asomiya society and the Bihu festival, kicked off the cultural show. There were a variety of items including modern Asomiya songs, a couple of Bihu dances, Bharat Natyam, a popular Bollywood dance number and also a violin concert. Jiten Borkakoti, president of the Bihu committee, welcomed the guests, and Mamoni Sarmah, general secretary, offered the vote of thanks. The members of the London Bihu Committee served an authentic Asomiya jalpan to the guests. Like all good things, the Bihu function inevitably came to an end. It was an event that the Asomiya community in the UK would remember for all times. The people bade farewell to Bihu for this year, with the expectation of being regaled once more by the wonderful Bihu festival next time around. Gagan Hazarika, 21 Greenhill, Sutton, Surrey, UK.

[Assam] Q and A
From my earlier email, If ULFA wants the support of the rational people of Assam, let ULFA state clearly in detail what its modern, truly democratic state with a rule of law is and How the right to have full control over its resources will be utilized to make everyone's life better in Assam. To the best of my knowledge, ULFA has not published anything on the above subjects. Even their website did not say anything about Assam's future after Assam becomes a sovereign nation. Long before I got CM's advice in his last email to contact ULFA directly, I had written twice to the email address that ULFA used in the past, asking the same questions. That probably was two years ago. Needless to say, I never got a response. So I assume either ULFA thinks I do not deserve a response or ULFA does not have answers to the questions. I am now convinced that it is the latter because the vocal supporters with answers for everything else cannot answer these questions either, nor do they know where to go for the answers. Talk about cluelessness. Dilip Deka === Chan Mahanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DD: What you are forgetting is this - not everyone in Assam agrees with ULFA -- *** No I did not forget that. That is why I wrote: There are those of us who are not handicapped by such a mindset, will continue to speak up for Assam's rights. And we shall. incessant insult of the clueless (in your words) *** And I stand by the characterization, because it was unequivocally demonstrated in the posts concerned. Perhaps DD will tell us WHY they are NOT 'clueless'? That would PROVE the point. *** Just because a lot of people say something, does not make it right. A bunch of fools saying a bunch of foolish things do not automatically become cleansed by the NUMBERS. If ULFA wants the support of the rational people of Assam, let ULFA state clearly in detail what its modern, truly democratic state with a rule of law is and How the right to have full control over its resources will be utilized to make everyone's life better in Assam. *** Those were MY words. If DD wants ULFA's responses, he ought to address ULFA and ask them that question. *I* ,Chandan Mahanta, do not speak for ULFA. But I do have reasons to believe that those are ideals ULFA does harbor. Now on a side note, if DD seeks such assurances from ULFA, he might write to them.

Thus a serious response from ULFA to his request may or may not be forthcoming is how *I* would see it. But things do change. If were in DD's shoes, and did have a change of heart, I might try it. Nothing to lose. *** But considering the responses to my posts on reforming Assam governance from those netters who have been involved in trashing ULFA all these years, amounting to nothing more than WE DON't WANT such reforms, because Oxomiyas are unable to deliver or they are no different from what exists today or impractical due to possible boundary disputes or other FEEBLE excuses, does not make DD's claim here very believable. But *I* am always open for any chance of progress. So good luck! *** Finally, I ask DD too: WHY should those of who have every confidence , not only on ourselves, but on the people of Assam to be able to deliver on a reformed system, as good as the best in the world, advocate ULFA's surrender and advise Assam to accept and be happy with what has NOT worked for sixty plus years of Indian misrule, as even MOST thoughtful Indian commentators would readily agree ? cm At 7:37 AM -0700 5/16/07, Dilip/Dil Deka wrote: From below - Just like you all, I too want the conflict to end.

I doubt that one can judge the Intent from an email. How did you judge that I wanted to find fault or alibi to reject when I wrote to ULFA? When I wrote the emails two years ago, it was a sincere attempt to get information. When there was total silence even after two attempts, it was very clear that it was a lost cause. I stand behind my statement that ULFA is clueless.So is everyone else who discusses ULFA issues, mainly because ULFA is clueless. Haven't you noticed how every related topic discussed here turns into accusations of clueless and uninformed without any semblance of a proper discussion? Your attempts to justify ULFA's existence and performance are meaningless because it is doubtful that you ( like the rest of us) know ULFA's master plan.

Assam assembly Secretary and Returning Officer G P Das said the Prime Minister was declared elected unopposed from one of two Rajya Sabha seats in the state as the third contestant, independant candidate Matang Sinh, withdrew from the race. It is only due to my respect for the Prime Minister that I am withdrawing from the race, Singh, a former Union minister, said. Singh and AGP's Kumar Deepak Das, the only two candidates in the fray, were declared elected unopposed much before the scheduled date for the polls of May 24. In his illustrious political career, Singh became Assam's representative to the Rajya Sabha for the first time in 1991. He has been elected to the House of elders from the state ever since. During this period, he was the Union finance minister from 1991 to 1996 and ushered in economic reforms and liberalisation. Singh became Prime Minister after Congress President Sonia Gandhi refused the post in 2004.

That is the point I was trying to drive home; the ineffectiveness or more precisely the absence of realism in the various posts by netters who could expected to be far more result oriented than their proposals indicate. I don't devalue your good-will. That is all very good. But good-will or good-wishes sans realism will do little to cure that 'mohamari' that you all have been railing against. You have been prolifically writing hate words towards India. *** I think you are misusing the English language here Mohan. Will you be able to point out WHICH words in my posts you can consider HATE WORDS against India, or for that matter against anybody else; people, state, culture or religion? Yes, I do write a lot of critical things about India. But that is different from HATE. And if you find those criticisms untrue, unfair or otherwise unwarranted, then all you need to demolish them, putting me in my place, is to point them out. Rebut. Refute. It is good for you to try that. Because you will need to do your homework to do so, and in the process will become more informed. I know you are a well-meaning person. I will never take offense with such rebuttals or showing netters how or why I am wrong. It will actually be a PLEASURE to see someone doing that CREDIBLY and EFFECTIVELY . Would demonstrate a sincerity of purpose and instill pride in my fellowmen's abilities. I do not have a islamic paranoia. I have both Pakistani and Bangladeshi friends. I would any day like a free and open trade between these countries and a open border. *** Who would not? Even Narendra Modi would love to do that :-). But that does not prove or disprove anything. Remember, I did not say Pakistani's or Bangladeshi's. I specifically said ISIThis is a militant organization with extreme hate towards India. Ido not support any form of violence or extremism. *** I would not badger you on this, only because I know you mean well. But I also know very well where the ISI-paranoia amongst desis spring from. It has everything do with deeply-rooted Hindu /Muslim bigotries and animus so pervasive in north, central, west and south India, translated to ownership pretenses of Kashmir, never mind what the Kashmiris who call it home want, leading to the Pakistan/India conflicts that gave rise to ISI and Jihad and has escalated into today's Islamic and Hindu militancy. Assam and the contiguous states and Bengal , barring the Hindu Siletis displaced from today's B'desh, have been relatively free of that debilitating desi condition. Only in recent years, thanks to Hindian influences, compounded by the GoI propaganda to discredit ULFA, has this ISI paranoia begun to take root in Assam. It is in the exact same vein as that of the CIA paranoia during the cold-war. Only now we have begun to learn how overblown it was. I don't dispute the fact of ISI's dirty record. So is RAW's. But ISI cannot be THAT powerful. ISI today is the code-word for demonizing everything associated with Islam. And its cultivated fear is an essential GLUE to hold the tattered bonds of Indian nationalism together. This is what ULFA has done for Assam. The rest of the country has grown in leaps and bounds. But Assam is still miles behind. Its growth fettered by this cankerous grwoth called ULFA. *** That argument is another propaganda designed by Indians and Indian apologist Oxomiyas. How will you answer to the question of Assam's condition BEFORE ULFA happened? Why was it so? Can you tell me, with a straight face that if ULFA disappeared today, tomorrow Assam's prosperity will take off the ground ? That its problems will disappear like a bad dream? Think about that Mohan. How come in this net only you speak for the ULFA, as if you can read their minds and speak on their behalf? *** First off, I don't speak FOR ULFA. Nor am I a mind-reader, ULFA's or others'.

[Assam] AGP MPs blame Army for instigating clashes
AGP MPs blame Army for instigating clashes http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/details.asp?id=may1807/at06 By Ron Duarah DIBRUGARH, May 17 Lok Sabha today was startled by the Zero Hour mentions by MPs Dr Arun Kumar Sarma and Sarbananda Sonowal that it was some Army officials who were fomenting communal hatred, leading to group clashes at Doomdooma last Sunday, ending in the death of seven people. The two MPs demanded an adjournment motion over the issue, but was rejected by the Lok Sabha Speaker. They then rose to speak during Zero Hour, where they accused certain Army officials of instigating the clashes. They also said the Assam government has totally and miserably failed to handle the situation and demanded Central action to maintain law and order in the state. The MPs said the highway blockade was largely attended, spontaneous and a democratic protest against security high handedness during counter insurgency operations in Assam. They also called on the Centre to immediately resume the process of peace talks with the militant ULFA. Dr Sarma and Sonowal stated in a press note that the killing of Buddheswar Moran on May 5 led to a week long highway blockade at Doomdooma and falling victim to mismanagement and chaotic handling of the situation by the police and civil officials, leading to the death of seven more innocents. Sonowal, later speaking to this correspondent today, said: The Army has made it a habit of killing innocents and later apologizing. He cited the cases of Ajit Moran, six-year-old child Debojit Moran and lately, Buddheswar Moran, to justify his comment. Three days after Buddheswar Moran was killed in cold blood, the General Office Commanding of the Dinjan-based Dah Division of the Army, Major General N C Marwah told newsmen at Tinsukia that his killing was unfortunate, and that an internal inquiry will be instituted to find out the facts. He assured the Army inquiry to be swift and impartial. With thousands of the civilian population sloganeering that Buddheswar Moran was not a militant, the Army has found itself in a spot. One piece of information that is emanating from Doomdooma is that the Army has lately obtained a document signed by some residents of Buddheswar Moran's native village, Bishnupur (12 kms from Doomdooma town), certifying that he was hand in glove with the militants. Of course, leaders of various groups, including PCPIA, AASU, AJYCP and others say this is not correct, and that the villagers may have signed under duress. With such contradictory versions abounding, it is difficult to find out the truth, as of now. One hopes the Army's own internal inquiry would unravel the truth and make this information public, instead of having it filed away as classified or under some provisions of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act or the Disturbed Areas Act, whereby civilian transgression into security matters is frowned upon. - Now that's room service!
