[Assam] Fwd: Need of Uniform in Assam Assembly

Well, yes Mahanta da, I am still at loss.
  Please explain to me and to others like Ramda, more explicitly why you try to make the Assamese Hindus suffer from collective guilt complex by dubbing their anti BDesh stance as an anti Muslim one. Decrying others of being unnecessarily sensitive to lungi menace and yourself garbing a selectively broadminded image-this is quite beguiling!! Or is there a hidden motive and may be you also have the same level of jingoism you accuse your fellow Assamese Hindus of harbouring, which for the time being may be you have kept in suspended animation for some technical reasons.
  By the way, a clarification on why I used the term Assamese Hindus (at which you jumped to emphasize that the usage of that term itself exposed every thing-I dont know what you meant) 
  1) I believe amongst the Assamese speakers-they (Hindus) are still in majority in Assam. Or do you think otherwise?
  2) They are the more vocal on this issue infiltration by BDeshis 
  3) This feeling of paranoia is present amongst Assamese speaking Muslim also. But their protestations are not that loud as their Hindu counterparts as they are less in number, many come from more disadvantaged back ground. Many of those who are economically well off, educated, learned and city bred (say from Lakhtokiya of Guwahati), same religious affiliations and post 9/11 more cohesive feeling make it some what difficult for them to be as vocal as their Hindu counterparts. Most of the educated Assamese Hindus understand this dilemma and should not have qualms about it. 
  So I hope it is now clear why I used the term Assamese Hindus?

  CM said
  *****Are only 'Assamese Hindus' burdened by illegal immigrants? Is Assam the home of B'deshi despising Hindus only? And if they are the only ones outraged or aggrieved, then is it ALL of Assam's Hindus or most or just a handful of them? And is it because of:

  The offenders' name?
  The color of their skin?
  Their cuisine?
  The language they speak?
  The lungis they wear and the skull-caps they flaunt?
  The unkind cuts the male of their species live with?
  The high wage jobs they deprive the natives of?
  The economy they depress by their dependence on public charity?
  The criminal activities they spread in society?
  The corruption they promote by bribery of public officials?
  The economic progress they thwart by their habitual sloth?
  Inundate the free public health-care system?
  Flood the public school system with children of the non-producing, lowering the quality of education?
  Usurp and rob the Oxomiya bhaxa of its purity and ownership?
  Other ills I have not mentioned, deliberately or otherwise?

  Or is it because of their religious persuasion?*****

  Your numerous clues did not help me much. If the last line was your punch line it is again the same hackneyed manifestation of your covert agenda. As I told you many times before-it is not the religion alone. It is the religion combined with language combined with an alien culture that has been causing the discomfort. If there are millions of khukri wielding Saulor phut luwa Daajus and Kaanchas also, the reaction of the local populace would have been similar.
  So I am still at dark about your attempts. Please explain more explicitly and clearly unlike those numerous inconclusive mails where you end by saying something like I will explain later if you want or by adopting those avoiding techniques saying that I will explain if you first answer this question. 
  Come on Mahanta da enlighten us on the eve of 60th Independence Day of India.
  Regards

  Chittaranjan Pathak
