Heh-heh! This looks like a BJP vs Congress battle. ULFA just happens
to be a convenient catalyst.

Anti-ULFA slogans resonate in city
'Paresh Baruahar dalali nasaliba'
By a Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, May 30: Anti-ULFA slogans resonated in the air in the city
today when hundreds of people responded to the call of a number of
senior journalists and writers, and took to the streets with a
protest march followed by a rally. The Bharatiya Janata Yuba Morcha
(BJYM), on the other hand, took out a separate procession and staged
a dharna near the Dighalipukhuri in the city demanding immediate
imposition of President's Rule in the State for the failure of the
State Government to tackle the activities of the ISI and other
Islamic fundamentalists in the State.
Responding to the call of as many as 14 senior journalists and
writers like Dhirendranath Chakravarty, Ranen Kumar Goswami, Rupam
Baruah, Nirupama Borgohain and others, over 100 activists of various
organizations like the Athgaon Binapani Samiti, Brihattar Athgaon
Rajohuwa Samiti, the Assam Public Works (APW) etc took to the
streets from the Guwahati Press Club (GPC) to the office of the
Deputy Commissioner and returned to the GPC where they held a rally.
Slogans like aah oi aah, ulai aah; khed oi khed; ULFA khed (come and
drive the ULFA away), ISI hoshiyar (ISI, be careful), PCGik eghoria
kar (outcast the PCG from the society), Paresh Baruahar dalali
nasaliba (broker Paresh Baruah's policy won't be allowed), Dhakar
adesh aami naamaanu (we won't obey Dhaka's diktat) etc rocked the
thoroughfares of the city from the GPC to the DC office and back
when the processionists began to shout slogans against the killing
in the city and the State by the ULFA.
Speaking at the rally later, Ranen Kumar Goswami said: "We don't
want an independent Asom as demanded by the ULFA, and we will never
accept the diktat of Dhaka or Islamabad. The ULFA should stop
killing in the State or else the people of the State won't remain
mute spectators".
Meanwhile, there was a hot altercation between BJYM president Dilip
Saikia and district Magistrate CK Bhuyan on the permission for the
procession taken by the BJYM against the State Government's failure
to bring the law-and-order situation under its control.
The BJYM leader said that the Centre should immediately impose
President's Rule in the State for the State Government's failure to
tackle the activities of the ISI and other Islamic fundamentalists
in the State. The BJYM staged a dharna near the Dighalipukhuri in
support of its demands.
