The giving up of 600 acres of land to Bangladesh shows what the coming days will be like for the state and the region. This is not a trivial issue. We cannot expect anything else from the State ministers who are just puppets of the central government in Delhi. What is sad is that where are the ULFA leaders now? Why doesn't Arabinda Rajkhowa, Paresh Baruah, Sasha Choudhury, Mithinga Daimari, Bhimkanta Buragohain speak out against this land swap which has made Assam poorer by 600 acres of land? The peace process is on. They are going to delhi power corridors every now and then. Why didn't they take a strong step against this land swapping?
What about the All Assam Students Union? Where is the so called advisor Samujjal Bhattacharyya? What about those Assamese youths who took out a rally for a Hindi film song competition show in 2005? I hope people haven't forgotten how Guwahati came to a halt for 5 hours because of this hulla over Debojit Saha organised by AASU? One thing is sure, all these ULFA, AASU type organisations have hijacked the Assamese people from real issues from time to time. Media has also helped these profit making business groups by not making the people relaise ground reality, where the public should actually be concerned. Shame on us all.
