Dr MMS is the MP from Assam and he should take the moral responsibilty for the violence. The UPA and state government who had been ruling for the last 10 years must be blamed for such butchery. But Congress sees only shadow of Modi on anything. The Congress leaders leaders who used to revel in the luxury and comforts in Delhi offices were always apathetic towards the violence in Kashmir and Punjab during the 1970's and 1980's. The secular leaders were more philosohical and much less practical in understanding the problems of people in all parts of the country. There was similar violence in 2012 in NE. Then the government should have take precautionary measures to avert the occurance of similar incidents. When there is NO capable ruler or leader at the centre, the state governments will also follow the anarchy. "Yatha Raja Thatha Praja" means "AS THE RULER SO THE RULED". If the king of the country is of good character, with good heart and always thinking of well-being of his subjects, and if he is a spiritual thinker and peaceful minded, his subjects will be like him in all these ways too

Addressing a press conference in Dispur on Wednesday, Gogoi said the Centre has failed to provide security in the border region. Gogoi deplored that he was responsible as a chief minister. But in the same breath he dared the political parties and organizations slamming his to show the same approach to the Centre. “ Why are same charges not being made against the union home minister for failing to give protection?" said Gogoi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked home ministry to submit a report on the entire situation a week after Naga miscreants killed at least 14 local residents of Uriamghat. But the Centre would only assist the state government to contain the violence. The Centre has already rushed around 1,000 additional paramilitary personnel for deployment along the Assam-Nagaland border. //
