@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain My 2 cents. Lets not attack at personal level.

Things should be said what they are & NOT whitewashed. These terms "xenophobia", "chauvinism", "anti-outsider" all these are for whitewashing

What has taken place is repeated Hindu massacres starting from 60s.

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Started from Goreswar in 60. Language Martyrs in 61, Khoirabari & Silpathar massacres in 83, Hojai in 93.

Enough info in Internet about each of these massacres. Hundreds of People k!illed, displaced, Babies thrown in fire, compensation denied. Not 1 done by ULFA or insurgents

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain It was organised by Assamese Civil society (Goreswar in 60s had teachers & students involved)

Nellie was exception in terms of t@rget religion. Obviously att@cking mob was also diff (Lalun/ Tiwa tribes)

Entire state rallied so that nobody is punished (Assam accord terms)

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Even last year in Tinsukia , 5 Hindu Bengalis were killed. BJP was given a decisive mandate after that as murderers were NOT caught.

Demand of state citizens remained same irrespective of ruling party

All this when HBs are 10 % of population (33-34 Lakhs) out of 3.3 crores

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain AASU, ABSU, AAKRaSU & all Dol Xongothons ensured that NOT 1, I repeat, NOT 1 attack staged in Na Axomiya districts like Salmara, Goalpara, Dhubri, Barpeta

Camouflage was always "movement against all outsiders"

20 refugees staying in 1 room in slum situations were "imposers" !!

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Dol Xongothons never agitated for investments in

1. Software
2. Biotech
3. Pharma
4. Banking
5. BPO

Post 91, all states are competing for investments. But Assamese Hindus repeatedly told this is not our priority as Na Axomiya folks are still NOT ready for these jobs

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain December GST Data.

8 states in North East-Sikkim to Assam (Rows 11-18) - together contributed around 1550 crores

Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand-Both land-locked & Tribal- Each contributed more than entire North East

But Demand in NE is Clause 6 & ILP !!!

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain NE States depend on 90% Central subsidy for State Budgets, continuously residents shifting outside for higher education & jobs

But development is never a discussed. Lets squeeze as much as central funds. Will remain economic burden of nation but not take 30 lakh refugee burden

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Who are termed post 1971 illegals? All came pre 71. Their refugee certificates were not accepted in NRC by Assam State Govt officials working for NRC

Small video. Just see the poor folks whose properties are being targeted through eviction demand

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Assam has seen 10 times more Hindu killings than Kashmir post 1947. "Asom Andolon" is celebrated which was all about repeated H massacres

Now Anti-CAA demand, NO discussion of VIKAS -- all to satisfy Na Axomiya brothers

Can any another state show such deep collaboration?

@lobonkha @7rajashree @Scorsesefangirl @dr_dsandeep @NoyonSENSE @SirCaustic_Soda @SilcharSid @ArunudoyB @BorahBedabrata @GayatriBGohain Every Indian wants Assam & NE to be Major economic hub & not remain a subsidy guzzling spot.

Density of population is far less than National average.

BPO/Pharma/IT-All knowledge industries can thrive without disturbing forest cover and NE getting crores of folks from mainland
