Terrorism has become a great hindrance for the economic development as well as for the global society. I request the terrorist groups to stop killing the innocent people, and just fear of the almighty and have mercy on the innocent people. I am a common man and I urge all the people of Assam that be calm and have patience in these grave period.Let us pray to god that peace might again restore in Assam.....Jai Hind
