Its a startling revelation that could land the Tarun Gogoi Government in
trouble. Another ULFA Peoples Consultative Group member Hiranya Saikia has
charged some politicians, bureaucrats, police and army officials with hetching
a conspiracy to kill him. According to Saikia, he had received threats on his
life over telephone and also through SMS from one Bakul Das, a self styled
sergeant major of 709 battalion of the ULFA. Significantly, Saikias
allegations came after the arrests of another PCG member Lachit Bordoloi and
advocate Nekibur Zaman. Saikia alleged that the government used them to win the
last Assembly polls. Now the time is over. We are being thrown, he said.
