[Assam] Piece from the Sentinel

[Ram Sarangapani]

C'da,

>I saw that too Ram. But it means little.

I am naive, C'da but am still wondering why the AT report would mean little,
while the Sentinel's would mean a lot.  Could it not be within the realm of
possibilities that the ULFA did send out 'feelers' to the GOI?

That the Sentinel is (also) trying to put the onus of breaking the peace
initiatives on the GOI is surprising as it seems to have forgotten numerous
assaults on civis and security personnel by the ULFA.

If violence is bad, then it has to be bad when either the ULFA or the GOI
commits it. It can't be glossed over for one while the other is held
responsible.
