[Assam] The Petition

[Chan Mahanta]

Thanks much for all of you in Assam (and abroad) 
who took interest in the matter and 
enthusiastically supported it to make it the 
success it has been so far. But we cannot let our 
guard down yet. It is not a done deal, and we 
have to continue to keep the issue in public view 
until a satisfactory conclusion has been sealed.

To that end, I agree that all of us can do our 
bit to contribute to the effort by following 
Hazarika's suggestion:

>individually send the copies of letters to persons whom we know so that

Let us do it folks. For if not us, WHO?
