The mass protests all over Guwahati (not just by a few 
organizations), the lynching of the Ulfa Cadre, and even the 
protest/clash by tea garden workers (see my other post from the 
Statesman).. are all these made-up?

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
