Why ULFA left out of CBI scanner? ask Dimasas

SILCHAR, Nov 26: Accusing the State Government of adopting a double standard policy in solving the militant problem, various Dimasa social organizations now directly sought the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Alleging that the State Government’s attitude towards the jailed DHD (J) leaders in comparison to the ULFA leaders behind the bars, the Dimasa organizations asked why only DHD (J) was put under CBI and NIA scanners while the ULFA was left out. David Dimasa the self-styled home secretary of the DHD (J) which laid down arms on October 2, 2009, said, outfit’s demand for autonomous state was not aimed only for the welfare the Dimasa community, but it would benefit all the other ethnic community residing in the district. David argued that, officials like Redaul Hussain Khan used to launder the council exchequer and common people of the district were deprived their justified. To raise a protest against this machinery, they took up arms. Now responding to the call of the State, they had laid down arms with a hope that the government would definitely materialize the commitments it had made. But, the State Government’s indifferent attitude as well as step-motherly behaviour against the Dimasa leaders had made the surrendered DHD (J) cadres suspicious. “If the authority does not fulfil our demand immediately we would be compelled to launch agitation in a democratic manner”, David said. On Thursday, various outfits, including DHD (J) brought out a rally in Haflong where more than thousand people participated. Organizations which participated in the rally included All Dimasa Students’ Union, Dimasa Women Society, Dimasa Mothers’ Association and People’s Forum for Peace Settlement, the president of which was district Congress boss Samarjit Haflongbar. Apart from these organizations, Jadikhe Naisho Hoshom (JNH), the apex body of the Dimasa community also actively participated in the rally. JNH chief Dethang Naiding said, if the government does not release DHD (J) leaders, how could peace process start?
