An Open Letter to the People of Bihar

My friends,

I am Romen Borah, an Assamese, a resident of Tinsukia, Assam.

On behalf of the people of Assam I am saying sorry to all of you due to the recent killings of Bihari people by ULFA.

Probably you know that, we, the common Assamese People, are feeling much pain for the incident.

ULFA is like a cancer in Assam, 95% people from Assam hate ULFA like anything.

These days, ULFA is nothing but a group of trained mercenary soldiers backed by the foreign forces.

In last two years, we have lost more than 1000 young men in ULFA violence .

Through this mail I am requesting the people of Bihar not to misunderstand common Assamese people. We want peace and prosperity of the state of Assam, not ULFA-giri or terrorism.

I am very much optimistic that our current government will solve this issue very soon. It is taking time to control the situation because of the terrain of Assam. As you know, we have uneven terrain with thick jungle. It is very difficult to move swiftly in such geographical condition.

Long live Bihar–Assam friendship.

Jai Hind.

Strong comment - made with a lot of passion.

We must all support Roman Borah and others who like him who are coming out courageously against the diabolical ULFA. - Thakur Vikas Sinha, Powai, Mumbai - Jan. 10, 2007

While appreciating Mr Romen Bora’s view on Ulfa killing Bihari labourers, I being an Assamese would like to clarify the people of Bihar and the rest of the country that there is no hatred between the Assamese and Bihari people. The recent massacre is the handiwork of the ISI of Pakistan to flush out Bihari labourers from the state to create vacuum and make way for illegal Bangladeshi settlers. As most of the Ulfa are operating from Bangladesh and Pakistan, they are being compelled to take these kind of actions by the ISI to declare Assam an integral part of Bangladesh. The main culprit in this issue is the Congress Government of Assam which is lured by the Bangladeshi Vote bank. - Jayanta Barman, Panbazar, Guwahati - Jan. 10, 2007


Thank God you guys are talking sense here otherwise newspaper like the Statesman are promoting other kind of debate in the name of freedom of speech. Please see the link and read for yourself and judge the challenge for yourself.

I doubt if with one line disclaimer they can shun their responsibility.

I am wondering if there is any mechanism by which we can persuade Statesman to delete this article. Please send ‘get well soon’ message to Statesman by writing on the following link. - Shiv Shankar Sharma - Jan. 11, 2007
