GUWAHATI: On October 30, 2008, serial blasts in Guwahati, Kokrajhar, Barpeta Road and Bongaigaon had sent shockwaves across the entire State. The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) has decried the fact the culprits of the serial blasts had not yet been punished.
AASU president Dipanka Kumar Nath and general secretary Sankor Jyoti Baruah, while talking to media persons in the city on Friday, said, "The culprits of the October 30 serial blasts are yet to be punished. The government must ensure that they are punished. Also, the government must root out insurgency from the State."
The AASU leaders said that some families of those who had died in the blasts and some of the injured people had not received any help from the government. "The government must look into the matter and ensure that these families get the necessary assistance."
On Saturday evening, the AASU, with the help of local people, will light earthen lamps in all district headquarters to pay homage to the victims of the serial blasts. They will also raise slogans against insurgency.
