The Conflict of Identity & Killings in Assam


Its very sad end for Jan month this new year 2014 in Assam. The killing of Gulzar Hussain a promising police officer in the rank of Additional Superintended of Police in Sonitpur District of Assam. The incident took place at around 0630 AM on 28 Jan 14. Its assumed he was ambushed & shot dead by suspected NDFB(S) militant in Dhekiajuli, Batasipur area. Other 06 police personnel from the patrolling party were critically wounded.
And on the other hand indiscriminate gunning down of simple unarmed villagers of Assam by around hundred armed miscreant of Arunachal Pradesh which resulted in 10 death and left scores injured. This happened on the evening of 29 Jan 14 in a remote place of Assam - Arunachal Pradesh border. The attack was in Sauldhuaa village under Bihali Police Station, in Biswanath Charaali sub-division of Sonitpur district. The villagers were actually camping and protesting against encroachment & destruction of Bihali reserve forest by people of Arunachal Pradesh.
Both killing were very tragic & inhuman. In one, the killing is political & plain terrorism for survival identity of a cause and the other, getting territory identity by terrorizing & brutalizing. And so we adieu Jan 2014 with a sad note....
