[Assam] Not very healthy signs

[umesh sharma]

social boycott or lynching reminds me of the Wild West Hollywood movies.
Must be some opposition party behind it. 

However, I feel that ruling political party both at Center and State level are Congress Party of India, even then, their own minister has been arrested by their own police (CBI) - a sense of fairplay seems at work (even though it turn out to be eyewash- keep our fingers crosses - till date no politician has been convicted in India).

  1. The call to socially ostracise Ripun Borah's family ( It is known as 'social boycot' in Assam since the eighties for sure)
   
  2. The young ones of the mixed group trying to assert as a class (Chah Jonojati) asking some of the leaders of their 'ethnicity' to dissociate themselves from the Congress.
   
  3. Demanding 'death penalty' to a person who has not been tried yet and whipping up a mass hysteria.
   
  4. Deification of the CBI whose track record of not filing charge-sheets in cases where public glare have diminished is well documented, or its floundering ways  where very bigwigs were involved ( Bofors, St. Kitts, Coffins for Kargil .......)
   
  5. Calling for Bandhs (a negative call) adding to the woes of the people at large.
