The serial blast on Thursday has touched off a seismic wave of reaction throughout Assam. The Assam government is remaining clueless while the United Liberation Front of Asom(ULFA) has straightly denied its role in these strings of blasts.
Boxed by the circumstances, chief minister Tarun Gogoi was hurried to talk to the media men admitting the failure of the intelligentsia network. Also, Gogoi said right now it was impossible to ascertain the culprits behind it.
On the other hand, the banned insurgent outfit says the serial blasts that sent shockwaves across the state is not their handiwork. In statement released by the proscribed outfit hours after the blasts, it said they have been blamed bereft of any reasons.
The Opposition pins the blamed on the Tarun Gogoi government saying it a case of lawlessness and seeks the dismissal of the government.
Meanwhile, President Pratibha Patil, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA President Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chaterjee condemn the serial blasts .

People of Assam. Cant you see that this is the work of Islamic militants whom Congress has promoted since the days of that traitor called Fakruddin Ali Ahmed. The only way to get rid of Assam of these bomb blast is to get rid of Congress lock stock and barrel and then drown those Bangladeshis in the Brahmaputra river

There are still traitor in the congress and instead of finding out the culprits they want to divide the greater Assamese community and rule for ever. In recent clashes in Udalguri and Darrang their statement were against NDFB but nit Jehadis or any fundamentalist and now after this blast they would blame any one. I challenge Mr Himanta Biswa Sarma , so called the powerful minister of the state to work and find out the culprits. Can Mr Tarun Gogoi stop his smile and find out the culprits? Can police do anything excepting harassing people like me on roads.
Lets all give our voice. Remember if we are silent get ready to die as the next chance is yours or mine.
Be a Voice not a Victim

The way that the bomb blast took place is similar to the blast that occurred in Delhi, Bangalore & Surat. So this makes sure that ULFA is not behind it. The master mind behind is non other than the Bangladeshi. They have done enough and it has become too much. And I request the people of Assam not to give any shelter & work to any Bangladeshi.It has become high time, so we should now stand up together to withdraw this Bangladeshi.

The issue of Bangladeshi Immigrants and fundamentalist forces backed by ISI is definitely a concern raised earlier and now this is the worst possible manifestation of consequences for neglecting this issue. This spate of violence now actually calls the greater Assamese community to individually fight for it. Initiatives should be taken by those who utilize a lot of these immigrants in the form of cheap labour etc. endorsing their asylum subsequently. If the people themselves do not contribute in their own way there is no hope that the government is likely to take any action for banishing these parasites from Bangladesh.
