GUWAHATI, May 29 – After the NDFB (Pro-talk faction), it is now the turn of the Dima Halam Daogah (J) to hit out against the Government and said that the outfit felt deprived for the partisan role played by the Central and State Governments.
In a memorandum to the Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, the DHD(J) also alleged that the Government played a partisan role and the outfit was feeling betrayed.
The DHD (J) said that after the ceremonial arms surrender on October 2, 2009, they were made to believe that the genuine issues would be settled within a hundred days but till date, there was no sign of the issues being resolved. The outfit pointed out that the leaders of the outfit including chairman Jewel Garlosa and commander in chief Niranjan Hojai were languishing in jail even though the DHD (J) was the first militant outfit in the country to lay down arms en masse to pave the way for peaceful dialogue with the Government. The demands of the DHD(J) are all within the framework of the Constitution, the memorandum added.
The DHD(J) alleged that preferential treatment was given to the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and cited a series of examples in this regard. The DHD(J) said that it was feeling deceived because of the fact that the commander in chief of the outfit was arrested even after surrender of arms, while, leaders of other outfits were freed even before arms surrender. “Give us one reason why we should not feel deprived when the members and leaders of the ULFA have been released and the leaders of the DHD(J) are in jail whereas the ULFA is yet to surrender,” the memorandum said.
The memorandum pointed out that the ULFA has not laid down even a single weapon and the Government has started dialogue with the outfit. “Tell us why we should not feel depressed when all the investigating agencies in the country are after us and none against the other insurgent group of Assam whose members have been arrested in a foreign country and are demanding sovereignty,” the memorandum said.
