May god punish them whoever is responsible for the murder of pranjal saikia. he was nothing more than a govt. official like lakhs of others. He was obeying the govt. order/duty only. Govt. must take the responsibility for his death . not only by some so called show-off tributes. Can govt. bring back the beloved son or brother of that family to life? Govt. must have to compensate the death of that young brave soldier. why only the police and defense personals only have to fight & die. why not the criminal ministers and bureaucrats? whereas these criminals are digesting money of the country by corruption. May god end this bloody gun fight and death of Assamese youth. Every death is a scare to the heart of the mother. Assamese sensitive common men will remember brave officer Pranjal saikia for his sacrifice.
