PEOPLE'S WISH
PEOPLE WISH
Recent public survey conducted by APW (Assam Peoples Work) in nine insurgency affected districts of Assam against the sovereignty demand of ULFA is an indicator of what the people want. More so APW consists of kith & kin of the members of ULFA outfit. Not to forget the welcome euphoria that prevalied during the run up to peace talks with ULFA before these were abrogated due to non acceptance of Center’s preconditions by the outfit. This is an indicator that people need peace, both at physical & psychological plane. Viewing the complete Kaleidoscope of North East India. One concludes that people in other states also wish & hope for peace and tranquility in future. While Extension of Cease Fire between NSCN and GOI has been widely welcomed but inter factional violence, extortion, intimidation strongly opposed. Even the tribes of Tikhir and Yimchunger have been advised by NSCN to resolve their differences peacefully by mutual understanding & not to get back to narrow confines of olden days. It shows that the NSCN also innately wants peace in the state.
Manipur ISKON temple blast was widely condemned. Even collateral damage/killings during inter factional clashes/when UG outfits target SFs are being widely condemned. These result in calling of avoidable Bandhs/formation of JACs, doling out compensation to the aggrieved etc. Some of the organization like all Manipuri Nupi Marup (a woman organization) has requested prime Minister to take concrete steps for restoration of peace in the state. We all know about the welcome accorded to large scale surrenders of 119 HNLC cadres in Maghalaya & 809 BLFM cadres in Tripura. Killing of 72 non Assamese by ULFA in upper Assam is a reaction to rejection of its sovereignty demand by the public. It is an indication of outfit’s desperate attempt to force its WILL on the public. Little has the outfit realized its wide ranging ramification including hitting of Assam’s economy due to migration of Hindi speaking Labor force. To quote Mr. Phukan (40), a brick factory owner “We are all employed Youth. We have taken a loan to start a business, and if our factory closes down completely, we will have taken a loan to start a business, and if our factory closes down completely, we will have no way but to commit suicide”.
We all know that peace is a precursor to prosperity, progress, development & good governance. It helps the Governed to prosper & excel & Government to discharge its judicial Legislative & Executive functions in a democratic & effective manner. This is what the People Wish! Therefore, let us make conscious & holistic efforts for lasting peace & make our society, a blessed society where every member is engaged in the blissful desire of love.
