Hours before the Assam government came with a statement holding NDFB and ULFA responsible for the serial blast, the United Liberation Front of Asom has pinned blamed on the Sangh Parivar for the serial blasts in Assam where over 85 people have lost their limbs.
In a statement by ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, the proscribed outfit called Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sharma as an agent of RSS and thus tried to hold him responsible for the serial blast. Denying any link with the jihadi outfits in Bangladesh, Rajkhowa maintained that killing of Assamese people is never the philosophy of the outfit and that they have been opposing religious fundamentalism in all form.
Rajkhowa said Sharma’s statement that that ULFA and Jehadis are the two sides of the same coin is enough to prove that he is a part of the RSS. ULFA further tried to establish the RSS connection citing the example of the leads in the Malegaon blast probe where the role of Sangh Parivar members have been disclosed. He said RSS has been trying to foment trouble in Assam for the last several months. a few months ago.
On the other hand, in a quick response, NDFB general secretary Gobinda Basumatary said they are not involved in the incident in any role and dared the government to come with any evidence if any to establish the veracity of the charge.

As expected, the Tarun Gogoi led Congress government in Assam in collaboration with the corrupt 'intelligence' bureaus of the country have dumped the blame of the blasts on the 'local' militant outfits NDFB and ULFA, giving a clean chit to Islamic terror groups Huji, IM and MULTA. Indeed, the brand of Vote-Bank politics in Assam has become the butt of ridicule to the entire world. So much appeasement for immigrant Muslim votes !!
CM Tarun Gogoi says that the statements of denial sent by the NDFB and ULFA to the media should not be trusted. In that case, how does the government expect the people to trust the government investigation reports? The entire investigation is a politically manipulated Drama. All the citizens who are lighting candles and praying for the departed souls should demand genuine investigations by International Intelligence like FBI, KGB and Interpol. The Indian security forces, the Assam Police and the investigative agencies of India like the CBI, CID, ATS (Anti-terror squad) etc. are the puppets of the state and central governments. If this is not done, no amount of prayer ceremonies would bring in peace to the departed souls and justice to those maimed for life.
With these blasts, we thought the state government would wake up from their slumber and save the state from the proposed Islamistan. But the measures taken up by the Assam government has put us all to shame. The Congress government has ruined the life and living of the natives of the State. The statement by ULFA that the blast is a handiwork of RSS and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma seems to be a 'Tit for Tat' answer to the weird allegations heaped on the 'local' militant group by the Congress governement.
The blast investigations are a cruel 'Joke' played by the politicians of Assam, who now look more of 'Clowns' to the world.

30/10 Assam Blasts : some unanswered questions? Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma,“News Liveâ€Â, Assamese community etc…
In the last week of September 2008 a bloody ethnic clashes between indigenous Bodo and illegal Bangladeshi migrants was started in some remote places of Assam, namely Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa districts and it was took full intensity just before the Hindu Festival Durga Puja. Large number of indigenous Indian were killed in that bloody ethnic clash. In the clash affected areas of Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa districts some Pakistani flag was hoisted by some anti-Indian forces such as Bangladeshi migrants, Muslim Fundamentalists and a Doubtful student political party workers. Though the Spokes-person of the state Govt. of Assam, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma justified the Pakistani flag hoisting in Assam with his normal intelligence. He said that the flag was not Pakistani, it was a Islamic religious flag. (What a joke against holy Islam!!). Even the puppet Chief Minister Mr. Tarun Gogoi & Indian National Congress party and the some of the local Media (Pro-Congress) find the hoisted flag was not Pakistani and supported Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarmas statement.
Unconfirmed sources reports that in the ethnic clash affected areas of Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa a large number of Indian were burnt alive and so many Indian woman were raped brutally.
The local Government intelligence, Police and Assam Government,controlled by the Indian National Congress (the party ruling the State of Assam with the help, support and vote of Bangladeshi migrants) claimed that the NDFB (National Democratic Front of Bodoland) a outfit fighting for the rights of exploited Bodo people were in behind the raw.
It was on the card that something is going to happen after Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa ethnic clashes and as doubted the 30/10 incident took place in Assam. As termed immediate effect of the Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa ethnic clashes, 30/10 blast claimed so many lives. The blast was so large and destructive that the local people of Assam stunned and speechless. What a strike and what a destruction!!! its unimaginable. Besides The Spokes-person of the state Govt. of Assam, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and his own Satellite TV channel “News Liveâ€Â, nobody expected this to happened in Assam. Again a different source said that Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and his own Satellite TV channel “News Live†was waiting for this to happen in Assam on that particular time. I don’t know its true or false but the remour is that Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma’s Satellite TV channel “News Liveâ€Â, earned a huge financial profit by selling the of exclusive TV(Video) footage of the blast. So many national-international TV channel showed the TV footage of the blast curtsy “News Liveâ€Â.
Its a strange that the Satellite TV channel “News Liveâ€Â, covered the Blast “almost liveâ€Â. I don’t understand how a Satellite TV channel can cover this kind of sudden events live? Don’t tell me that this TV Channel is very Hi-tech and well organized!!!
Did the TV crew of Satellite TV channel was ready for the blast ? if so what was the sources ? Did the TV Channel prepared themselves for the telecast of the blast ? Nevertheless these are answerless question…
But people want to know who is behind the blast. Various sides indicates different bodies involvement in the blast. The IB-Assam Police-SSB-BSF and home ministry Govt. of India all expressed contradictory views about the culprits. The Spokes-person of the state Govt. of Assam, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and his own Satellite TV channel “News Liveâ€Â, Found ( tempered ???) some proof against the NDFB (National Democratic Front of Bodoland).
Dramatically after 24-hours of the blast a controversial SMS was received from an unknown fundamentalist outfit ISF (IM) claiming the responsibility of the blast. No prizes for guessing, whom the SMS was sent to!!! Yes truly !! as expected this time the SMS was also received by Satellite TV channel “News Live†in a most controversial manner !!!. Why and how Satellite TV channel “News Liveâ€Â, only again? Is not it a remarkable incident?
Question is still remaining that who is responsible for the blasts? As far I am concern, the jihadi-local fundamentalist groups could be behind it. There were so many blast took places last few months in India, I think this blast is one episode of these serial blasts. I think the HUJI-SIMI-Al-Quida-ISI-BDR has a definite and direct hand in it. Local misguided youth may be helped them in some extant.
I am sure that NDFB-ULFA and RSS (as claimed by ULFA Chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa.) is not behind the 30/10 tragedy .
Besides our political Jokers Tarun Gogoi, Himanta Biswa Sarma and Co. Everybody knows that NDFB-ULFA has no any motive to do so. NDFB is in ceasefire for last few years and their talk with the India-Govt. is in right direction and as far ULFA, they are already separated from the heart of Assamese people so they have not such guts to fight with the Assamese peoples emotions by doing blasts.
But the HUJI-SIMI-Al-Quida has some strong motives to do so. Few days back the Honorable Gauhati High Court gave a significant judgment and slammed the Assam Govt. on illegal Bangladeshi migrants issue. With this all the indigenous Indian organization ignited a semi-movement on illegal Bangladeshi migrants issue. With this illegal Bangladeshi migrants and (Anti-Assamese)Indian National Congress party shocked. These kind of upraising terrorized illegal Bangladeshi migrants and (Anti-Assamese)Indian National Congress extremely .
Few days later the Darrang, Udalguri & Baksa ethnic clashes occurred. The illegal Bangladeshi migrant felt themselves isolated. The Assamese-Bodo and all other Indian outfit joined in a common platform to fight against the illegal Bangladeshi migrant. Feeling inside the illegal Bangladeshi migrants was that the leaders of Political parties is not going to protect them from the Assamese-Bodo. The parties will not help them when they are in problems as now its not election time, the political parties need Bangladeshi just for vote. So who will save them, they may have to return Bangladesh? Who is their savior??? The Muslim fundamentalist and HUJI-SIMI-Al-Quida grebe it as a opportunity to become a savior of Bangladeshi migrants. To saw the power and prove their existence they did the one of the most cowardly act of terrorism the 30/10 tragedy.
Ironically the Minister of State for Home, ( Govt. of India)Shakeel Ahmed was forthright in condemning the politics of hate that had led to the high intensity blasts. Recalling that there had been communal clashes in Assam in early October in which 57 people were killed, he said: "Such acts of terror are the result of politics of hate that is being spread in different parts of the countryâ€Â.(Curtsy : http://mangalorean.com) I think these lines and his indication should not be ignored.
Who hoisted the Pakistani flag in remote areas in Assam? Why the Spokes-person of the state Govt. of Assam, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said that this was not a Pakistani Flag ? How Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma can make a joke on Holly Islam by saying that the flag was an Islamic religious flag ? Does he want to prove that Islam mean only Pakistani to him ? How did the Satellite TV channel “News Live†had been able to show the Blast “almost liveâ€Â? From blast to- SMS claiming how News Live only medium ? How the Editor-In-Chief of “ News Live†can call over phone to all the banded ULFA-NDFB leaders at will? As far my knowledge Editor-In-Chief of “ News Live†Mr. Atanu Bhuyan, a“ Paid Servant†of Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma is just a “mediocre news reporterâ€Â, does he really posse so strong News Network in his own ? Why Govt. of Assam doesn’t want to mention the words like “Huji-jehadi-Islamic-terrorismâ€Â? What is the intention of the Govt. to victimizing the NDFB as well as ULFA on 30/10 blasts? What did the Minister of State for Home, (Govt of India) Shakeel Ahmed tried to express ? Did he warned the indigenous Assamese to keep shout their mouth on illegal Bangladeshi migrants issue??? Why the Chairman of ULFA Arbinda Rajkhowa saying that RSS is behind the blast ? Did he force to said so by his Bangladeshi Godfathers ? What is the secret of recent serial blasts in Indian states ruled by non-BJP governments?
BJP-RSS does not poses any kind of good-will in Assamese Society (matter of fact that the indigenous Assamese Hindus hates BJP-RSS) and baseless Asom Gono Parisad (AGP) is not true representative of Assamese, Indian National Congress and ULFA+NDFB polarized themselves in Bangladeshi camp, so who will lead Assamese Society ? Is the Assamese community is about to vanish? All these questions must be answered in short time.
We, the people of Assam have some political sense and we know the political leaders ‘mockery of people’s emotionsâ€Â. At last I wish that it will be the last blast in Assam, but I know unfortunately my wish will go in vain, there will be bound to happen more such tragedy in Assam, if we are not alert. The criminals will do all these barbaric act again and again if their local soft corner persons like Gogois-Sarmas extends supports to them for some cheap agendas.
