It was heartening to notice how the Barak Valley people have shown extraordinary resilience and statesmanship by not succumbing to the communal provocation of the Assam govt through some agents in order to puncture the separation movement.
The recent turn of events in Rongpur locality of Silchar is indicative of the fact that vested interests are working overtime to spoil the peaceful fabric of Barak Valley.
Successive state and central governments have time and again displayed that they respond to agitations which are violent and lead to breakdown of the law and order machinery. On the other hand, if your agitation is democratic and peaceful, you will never be listened to. As a result, today the central government is ready to talk to other communities but not with Barak Valley leaders. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is planning to divide the people and raise dummy organisations.
But the Barak Gana Parishad will not fall for the bait. BGP president Rati Ranjan Roy is of the opinion that violence in a democratic country is a short term solution to a permanent problem. We shall continue with our democratic mode of agitation - in phases – which shall soon be announced.
We appeal to the people to shed the laidback approach like let others do, what will happen, he wants to become a leader, we shall agitate without them, he will become the chief minister etc. etc. Intelligentsia in Barak Valley are asking a lot of questions - do we have the passion to fight for our own land? When our upbringing has been so low that we don’t click a LIKE to a facebook page for a community / organisation in crusade for separate state, can we shed blood? Are we passionate about ourselves? Do we bond together? Why do we need two Durga Puja pandals in the same lane?
Think friends, we have enough faith on you the people of Barak Valley.
Please support Barak Gana Parishad
