[Assam] AAMSU threat to Assamese

Wed Aug 1 05:17:53 PDT 2007

Unfortunately the tent can only stretch to a point and beyond that it  
will break apart. Why not get rid of the camel.

Today our 'honourable' CM has mentioned that only 38 of the thousands  
pushed back from Nagaland and Arunachal are doubtful citizens, rest  
belong to Assam. Will he then bring this up with his counterparts in  
Nagaland and AP as to why Indian citizens were pushed back. We have  
people in power who are more interested in retaining their seats at  
any cost. We have fine examples in recent history from the likes of  
Hiteswar Saikia, Prafulla Mahanta and now Tarun Gogoi. That is the  
tragedy of Assam.
The situation is different in the tribal states where the Govt is  
hand in glove with the drive of the students organisation and is  
lending all support. The biggest insult was the CM asking  the AASU  
and AAMSU to work together to prevent infiltration. Isn't AAMSU the  
very organisation that threatened the Assamese people? How does AASU  
work with them when their goals are 180 degrees apart. AASU wants  
Bangladeshis out and AAMSU wants to make Assam a B'deshi colony?
