No to ULFA
95 per cent people said ‘NO’ to ULFA claim of sovereignty of Assam in a recent survey.

The survey conducted in 9 districts of the state was undertaken APW - by an organization run by kins of ULFA militants. The districts included in the survey are Bongaigaon, Sonitpur, Nalbari, Goalpara, Guwahati (metro), Dhubri, Darrang, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji and Nalbari. The survey will be extended to other districts of the state soon.

ULFA chairman Arabindo Rajkhowa has however rejected the survey and described the APW as a body "comprising agents of RAW and IB (that) functioned at the behest of the Indian machinery".

ULFA's insistence on making sovereignty the core issue for any talks with the government is one of the reasons that have stalled the peace process in Assam. The Centre has already rejected the demand.

Interestingly, the banned outfit stepped up its activities around the same time the result of the survey was declared. 17 people were killed in a series of attacks across the state. It is alleged the ULFA is behind the attacks.

Kaafila: a unique tale Ammtoge Mann's film Kaafila or caravan of people is a touching, heart-rending story of the lunatic rush of not-so-wealthy Third World people opting to leave their motherland in search of utopian dreams of a better life abroad in developed countries. These people put their jobs, families and even lives at stake to reach their desired destination even when they can be better off in their own country without all the hardship and suffering. The movie strives to create a mass awareness of the "dark side of illegal immigration. The film explores uncharted waters for the first time ever," says Mann.
