The ULFA seems to be gaining its hold in Lower Assam by slowly but steadily building up a twin case of human rights violation.

The first case was in the form of a habeas corpus petition filed by one Shyamali Gogoi, wife of Ponaram Dihingiya, seeking the court’s intervention in finding out the whereabouts of her husband and five other ULFA cadres who have remained untraceable since the December 2003 Bhutan operations.

The second case has come up after the condition of the wives of the six missing ULFA activists worsened during their indefinite hunger strike on March 21. Instead of coming out with an answer to their demand, the government picked up the women on March 29 and put them into the GMC Hospital here.

But the women have continued their fast, refusing to take anything so far. Doctors at the hospital have expressed their inability to abide by a government directive to force-feed them.
