Here read "local" as "ethnic Assamese". The most salient issue, however, is that unless the burden of proof is shifted from the individuals to the state (or complainant), as had been the case with the IMDT Act, the outcome would be monstrously unfair. More so, given the bias, not so concealed, of the administrative machinery. In any case, the BJP had considered the whole exercise as a bonanza from the heaven. Hence, its nationwide roll-out. That's exclusively its brainchild. Now, it had to step back. The schedule for the roll-out, without much noise, has been replaced with that of the NPC, a very different kettle of fish. It'll have to go back to the drawing board. Sukla -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
