A bad turn in Venezuela would raise the same questions that have dogged the unlawful US strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean: Why now, and why at all?

Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
No wonder the AASU considers this as ‘betrayal’.
For a violent organization with a tribal mindset, the CAA is indeed a betrayal. The murderous mobs of AASU cadres that engaged in rampant massacres of Muslims and Bengalis during the 60s, 70s and 80s do not deserve the epithet of “martyrs”. These were mobs of lumpen anti-social elements which left a trail of blood, destruction and misery all over Assam. Thousands of Muslims and Bengalis were slaughtered by these mobs. To call them “martyrs” is a travesty of justice.
The AASU should be ashamed of it’s past deeds and try to make amends for the same.
Mr. Himanta Biswa Sarma is an utterly corrupt person. And he may well be the ‘ambassador of betrayals’.
However, he, by no means, is a xenophobic mass murderer.
The AASU, on the other hand, is an utterly xenophobic organization. For decades it has thrived on fanning hatred for Bengalis and others residing in Assam. The AASU cadres have been responsible for massacres of Bengalis across Assam. The Nellie massacre is one such example – it remains till date the worst massacre in independent India’s history. Till date, not a single person has been held responsible for this gruesome massacre.
Numerous other massacres, murders, rapes and arson were carried out by AASU targeting the Bengali community in Assam.
Ms. Karishma Hasnat would do well to provide proper context on this virulently xenophobic organization called AASU.
