Birds of a feather no doubt :-).
The call to hold a plebiscite is unwarranted.
**** Why?
We have a Government out there in Assam,elected by the universal
adult franchise inspite of the fact >that the ULFA gave a clarion
call to boycott the election.
**** And that means what?
What is that adult franchise sired govt . doing for Assam's
development? Shouldn't we ask that first, instead of asking that of
Ruby who does not have power, does not have resources, and doers not
control the population with military force?
Are we unable to muster even that bit of common sense?

Despite a miserable track records of successive Govt.of Assam in
day-to-day administration or in law-and-order or civic
affairs----subjects in which the Center just can't and does not poke
its nose---ULFA is issuing the call for sovereignty.Sovereignty for
what ? For running personal fiefdoms ?

Hon'able netter,
We felt it necessary to add our comment to the above discussion
thread between Ram Sarangapani and Chandan Mahanta. Yes indeed, the
ULFA is still totally committed, as before, to honour the verdict of
a plebiscite on the restoration of the Sovereignty of Asom held
under the auspices of the United Nations. The ULFA certainly
made this declaration before anybody else. Bringing this up in
this discussion forum by yourselves is very commendable. But we
would like to make it clear here that we do not want any migrant
from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar etcetera since 1947 to take
part in this
plebiscite in defining the future direction of Asom.
Ram Sarangapani, you are a regular contributor in the AssamNet
forum. Your explicit expression of support to stand by
Assam (Asom)and her people reflects your wisdom.
There are many who may not support the ULFA, but, the most
important thing is for all is to standby
the people of Asom. We would like to ask you not to support the
views and actions of the selfish ones who are just taking advantage
of the situation. Instead, be with the majority and work for real
peace to return to Asom.

**** That is a pathetic spin Ram.
IF you are for an end to the conflict, and ULFA agrees to abide by
the verdict of the people, why do you invent excuses like that to
avoid the plebiscite, unless you really do not believe what you
profess, that the people don't want sovereignty?

C'da,
You know me well enough to know that I don't carry water for anybody

And does it really matter where I stand?
Well, if you must, I don't like a plebicite. I seriously think its a
red-herring for anyone interested in the well-being of Assam (both
the pro/against sovereignty people).
I think the results of a plebicite will not be helpful to anyone. It
will lead to a much bigger, and unmanageable mess from which Assam
will never get out of.Each side will bicker and moan about fraud,
etc and a toothless UN can't do a lick.
>Dilli has a billion people behind it. The people of Assam need
yOU far more than Dilli does.
Thanks, C'da. But, you misunderstand, I am on Assam's side as
opposed to being on Dilli's side.
Now, what I am not sure of is being on ULFa's side is
synonymous with seeking Assam's interests? :)
And, C'da, Assam needs you more than they will ever need me.

Why even bother about Assam Public Works' house to house interrogation poll?

Jeeez.. only 5% support sovereignty and this movement? Thats bad
even from a poll that one doesn't trust.
It is encouraging to note that that some 43% sent in their votes
thru surface mail.
Any reasons why the PCG did not publish the results? Also, does
this result in any way match up with those conducted by the Assam
Public Works (or Service) group?
