*** Being the strict constitutionalist you are--as demonstrated in
your recent posts as well as from the past, I am surprised that you
hold both the Central and State govts. equally responsible for
securing the borders. Is border protection in the State List? Or is
it in the Central List?
Also, responsibility must be backed up with resources. Does the state
have the resources to deliver on this responsibility that you
assigned to it?
We will get into the ability to perform the constitutional duties,
even with the resources and the authorities, later. That is different
issue.
But we hope you will tell us clearly why you hold both the sate and
the Center equally responsible.

*** Good question and a fair one. So has Dilli acknowledged the
problem? If yes, then what has it done?
And If the bosses do not acknowledge it, how do expect it to be
acknowledged by its stooges at Dispur whose existence is entirely
under the control if its masters at Dilli. Or do YOU believe that
the state govt. is able to chart an independent course under the
OPERATIVE SYSTEM ? If you do, will you explain how? THAT, will be
contributing hugely towards educating us as well as building YOUR
credibility on the matter.
>Is there any Assamese citizen,whose opinion needs to be built in regard to
>the presence of Bangladeshis in Himalayan proportion? I really wonder!
*** You hardly need to wonder, because by all accounts, and credibly
too, there are large numbers of B'deshis in Assam. Question you ought
to be wondering about it then is WHY does none do anything about it?
We know how much you are devoted to the rule of law of a
constitutional democracy and your faith in Indian democracy and the
constitution. So, IF the people of the state is DISSATISFIED with the
performance of its government, would they NOT have voted it out in
this 'functioning democracy' ?
*** Obviously things don't add up. Here is huge disconnect. Would
you care to sort it out ? And when you do, we just might stumble into
solution scenarios :-).
