[Assam] About My Instigations and Your Contributions

[Ram Sarangapani]

Well, C'da

 *>>If at that point the GOI stonewalls or simply IGNORES the existence of
ULFA - nothing, >>nothing really >will happen.*
**
 *>**** WHAT exactly would such NOTHING include you think?*
**
I am just guessing the situation - it would certainly mean that the ULFA or
its cohorts are NOT good negotiators. That is they did not strike a bargain
when they could have.

There also seems to be a steady drumbeat from many of ULFA's supporters for
a negotiation or talks (and even from some others who want all this to be
over with). Why the BIG HURRY?
That may signal the GOI that perhaps they ought the wait this out, and maybe
not negotiate at all.

As for the common peoplee, they would feel the nighmare is over.
