Subject: Re: [Assam] Nuisance or Nonsense

Well, there have been lots of discussions lately regarding late Ashok Saikia. After his demise, I was one of them to send a message in the Assamnet condoloing his death. Considering very limited interactions with him, I still feel he was an IAS officer, whom the others should follow not only for the things he did in the capacity of being an IAS officer but also as a fellow human being. He was the Education Commissioner, when my father was serving in the Education Deptt. in Assam. What I gather from him, late Saikia was definitely different than other fellow IAS officers in his approach towards the works.

  While in Gurgaon, I had some interactions with him and from these interactions, I feel he was very honest towards his responsibilities towards Assam and during his heydays also, he had done whatever he could do towards the development of Assam.

  Whatever I had known about him, he atleast deserves some praise. Regarding Mr. Husseins oblique reference to Late Saikia, I don't see any reason for somebody to react or respond.

ways Kamal, wasn't it :-)?
