If Bangladeshi can host Pakistanis flag and Tarun Gogoi and his party backs Bangladeshi as minorities and so called minorities can kill Boro or Ahom why can, the Bodo, Ahom or Mongolian groups can't host Chinese flag as they are our blood related brother and sisters. Fact is that Bangladeshi and Indian look alike. Assam will be better placed without Tarun Gogoi, Paresh Baurah, P Mahanta and all those who sell their own mother to be a minister or kills for money.

I agree with Tutu. If no strict action is taken then our home country will be full of jehadis. It was on the news that the Islamic groups wants to make Assam a Islamic state, therefore I request the defence department should take strict action.
