O'Deka:
Buise', aaru kotha aase'. There is more to it :-):
*** What gives is that all these intellectuals who are annoyed by
ULFA's coming up with this new demand for release of its incarcerated
leaders, which they feel is reasonable, but are critical because PB
was late in announcing it at this stage of the game, which
would have been more appropriate to have presented it earlier; should
have known that ULFA leadership is not as smart ( as they never fail
to tell the world) as they themselves are. These are 'wayward boys',
aren't they?
Besides, what were these intellectuals thinking: that ULFA was
sitting around waiting for Manmohabn Singh's admin. to bring them
a proposal for negotiations and ULFA would be waiting with a response,
crafted with the advice and consent of Assam's best intellects who
have been at its side all these three decades of struggles, thru thick
and thin, giving them at least moral support in their times of
need?
*** But even at this late stage, these Monday-morning
Quarter-backs ( idle speculators) could have redeemed their honor by
asserting what they believe is right and putting their words where
their mouths are in looking out for Assam's interests.
But did they?
Pardon my sarcasm. Had to get it out of my chest :-).
O'm
>What gives?
*** The language in the DA news.

Here is what they are saying in Guwahati. Note that Kanaksen Deka is also the editor of Dainik Agradoot. There was some information in this net that K.S. Deka is an arch enemy of the ULFA and that there was spin in the Dainik Agradoot report. What gives?

GUWAHATI, May 31: The ULFA condition demanding release of ten of its top leaders before the proscribed organization moved ahead for talks with the Centre was greeted by a number of intellectuals of the State.
The Sentinel talked to a few intellectuals and political leaders for their views on the ULFA condition.
Kanaksen Deka, the president of the Axom Xahitya Xabha, while welcoming the ULFA condition, said that there was no harm in releasing the ten detained leaders. He said that this will facilitate a democratic discussion within the ULFA and help its top brass to go ahead for the talks with the Centre. He added that the time was ripe for such a move as the jailed ULFA leaders by now must have understood the support of the Assamese for the talks.
Eminent intellectual Hiren Gohain said that this was an interesting condition. He questioned as to why the ULFA had not consulted these leaders before placing the tough precondition before the Centre. He, however, said that the ULFA logic was not illogical and is worth considering.
AGP president Brindaban Goswami said that the party had all along been saying that the only possible solution to the impasse was through negotiation. He said that the Government must consider it and set the process rolling.
A dissenting voice, however, came from Dhirendra Nath Chakravarty, the editor of a local daily, who said that the condition put forward by the ULFA is a reflection of the realization of the outfit�s top brass that they face a bleak future. He said that ULFA was a non-actor in the social and political stage of Assam and added that in another five years the proscribed outfit would decay.
Jatin Borgohain, the editor of another local daily, said that the demand merits consideration.
The AJYCP said that the ULFA demand was not without merit but it should have come earlier.
