It's showtime for Assam..
So the
33rd National Games is finally underway. Despite the bomb explosion in Kamakhya on the inauguration day morning i.e. last Friday (9th Feb 07), everything went as scheduled. Sonia Gandhi declared the Games open amid much fanfare in the newly constructed Indira Gandhi stadium at Sarusajai. IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi was also present for the five-hour inaugural ceremony conducted by events management firm Wizcraft showcasing the spirit & culture of Assam. He announced the host state may be given the opportunity to host the Saarc Games, infront of an audience of 30000. That’s another positive thing we can look forward to. Tarun Gogoi, our chief minister has really done a good job in coming up with international standard infrastructure and putting up the show despite the many odds.
Let’s not forget the Games is still on and the security is a major concern. Mr Chief Minister please sit tight and not let anyone to ruin the games. Although ULFA has withdrawn the boycott threat to the Games, the Kamakhya blast took place. What a irony, showcasing ‘
amaar axom’ under the shawdow of the gun..
Do away with the insurgency problem and the ‘Northeast’ will be paradise on Earth. Why do you take a gun and kill innocent people?? Do you think a sovereign Assam will bring in prosperity to the land?? We are a part of the republic of India, let’s turn on the tide and take Assam forward. There’s no point saying the ‘central government’ is discriminating against the ‘northeast’. Let’s all join hands and work together for a ‘prosperous’ Assam. Take the help of masses through talks/writings, not the gun and create a roar so that the ‘central government’ takes notice of us. Let’s leave the horrible past behind and work for a ‘brighter’ future…
Joi Axom.
