Sir,� This is in response to Mr. Jawahar Lal Hazarika's letter on 5th Oct in your newspaper. He lamented that His Excellency the Governor of Assam, Lt Gen (Retd) S.K.Sinha was allowed an extension for another term by the Government of India despite his old age. Let me tell you that Hon'ble Governor is in very fine health and walks ramrod straight which will put many higher ups in the govt. to shame. He is mentally very alert and is full of concern for the people of Assam and NE. His other services notwithstanding, the contribution he made in bringing out Lachit Borphukon, Gopinath Bordoloi outside Assam is commendable, and makes us proud. Beacause his efforts the best NDA cadet's award is now "Lachit Borphukon Award", we see the 8.5 feet tall statue of Bordoloi standing at the Parliament of India. He is the only Governor who had the guts to send a report on the Foreigners' issue to Govt. of India where he forcasted a bleak future for the son of the soil, unless the govt. acts now. He is an excellent presenter and I personally attended two of his presentations on Bordoloi and Lachit. His charming personality and effervescent manners are a class apart.
I thought I should share my personal experience with you all to dispel such depreciating letters.
