Assam Journalists Federation takes out a march against terrorism
Guwahati: Members of the Journalist Federation in Assam staged a
rally in Guwahati on Friday to highlight the need for the state government to counter terrorism. Representatives of 30 other organisations, including some political
outfits joined the peace march. "Those who are claiming that they are going to
solve the problem of indigenous people of Assam, they are fighting for independence
and right of self-determination of the people but actually we have seen that they
are adopting the path of terrorism, they are adopting tactics of terrorism and
they are trying to get help from foreign countries which are actually inimical
to the people of Assam," said Jatindra Kumar Borgohain, Advisor, Journalists Federation
of Assam. "I think the government and the terrorist organisation must come forward
to resolve the problem through peaceful means, through negotiations. This is our
demand actually. Peace is elusive but our demand is powerful. We are demanding
that they should come forward to organise peace talks," he added.
