[Assam] From the Sentinel -Letters to the Editor 17/05/2010

[Jyotirmoy Sharma]

If a state/country is not worried about illegal migration, there is
something wrong in the state/country and it's people.
You could have other views. I am not going to change my views to make
you happy. Majority people of Assam( and also the North Eastern states
) feel the same way too. In a democracy everyone has their right to
express their views but it is the majority's view that eventually
matters.
And if I prefer a Assam, in India rather than amalgamated with a
pan-Islamic Bangladesh, I am not ashamed of saying so.

Everything turns into its opposite, as
