[Assam] Fw: Wah!!! Wahid Da , Congress

[Rajen & Ajanta Barua]

Friends:
Please help me congratulate Wahid Saleh on this great honor from GOPIO. I spoke with Wahid and congratulated him on his achievement. BTW Wahid is the only one to be selected for the award from whole of Europe. Wahid very humbly mentioned the famous poem by Robert frost:

Two Roads diverged In A Wood
And I Took The One
Less Traveled By 
And That Has Made All The Difference.

We are fortunate to have Wahid as one of the prime movers of the Petition to CM against the Asom-Assam issue.
After receiving the award, he will be in Assam where he will meet the Press. 
We say to Wahid, keep up the good work for the sake of Assam and India. 
Rajen Barua
