Indian Internal Security - 3

[Guest]

It is becoming increasingly evident that Assam may start spinning out of control unless the ground reality - which is generally known in knowledgeable circles in Assam, the security agencies, the forces fighting the insurgents as well as the Governor - is acknowledged. Indian interests are being compromised in a manner that could make the future task of setting things right extremely difficult. To put it succinctly, ULFA reportedly made a deal with the Party in power to help them retain power in the last State Elections. ULFA seems to have kept its bargain at the behest of its Bangladeshi and ISI handlers, who were fully conscious of their long-term requirements as the quid pro quo. Thereafter, ULFA keeps demanding its pound of flesh from the Chief Minister. The latter may be as conscious of the national interest as those physically involved in attempting to eradicate interests inimical to the country. However, the CM could be in a bind. Once you have supped with the devil, you "cannot" opt out. The ULFA handlers would have retained the ability to blackmail the CM to the extent that they would be in a position to demolish the latter's standing and perhaps that of his Party as well, maybe through proof of support or other proof that they would have retained. Therefore, he would have no choice but to keep giving ULFA a leg up whenever difficulties for them became insuperable. The ULFA handlers would be in a position to "demand" compliance from the CM, practically at every turn. If studied carefully, by any objective analyst, the majority of the CM's pronouncements relating to Bangladeshi influx or actions relating to ULFA appear to be in consonance with the desires of interests inimical to India. The coincidences are staggering. Yet the powers that be continue to dither, more so at the Centre. The perils to India in the northeast, especially Assam have become enormous. The time may have come to take drastic action - before the situation becomes irretrievable.
Merely writing articles will no longer suffice. The anti-India activity from within is clearly getting out of hand.
