Guwahati, May 20, 2019:
Assam's singing sensation Zubeen Garg has finally spoken up about the blast which rocked Guwahati city of Assam on 15 May. The blast was caused by a grenade which was allegedly hurled by an ULFA (I) cadre during peak traffic-hours in the evening. As many twelve persons, including two SSB jawans, were badly injured in the blast.
Zubeen took to social media platform Facebook to give his two-cents regarding the blast. He wrote: "I need a revolution. I need a revolution of change. Killing innocent people will not result in anything fruitful. Fear cannot build a nation. Labour can. Hard work can."
He further implored the militants to do something productive for posterity and the upcoming generations. "Teach our kids how to cultivate. Teach them how to grow seeds out of nothing. Teach them how to shape their dreams. If you want to build something, build Majuli! If you want to destroy something, destroy the threats roaming over Kaziranga!", he stated.

Zubeen also suggested that there are some threats which can solved only when the Assamese community comes together. "I need a revolution to fight back against flood. I need a revolution that will make us part of the mainstream", he added.
Stating that freedom is all about standing on your own and one cannot be free in fear, Zubeen further cautioned the ULFA that chaos can bring no change.
"We are a nation because of the people. If there is no one left alive, where do we stand?", he queried.
He stated that terrorism can provide no solutions, but 'Education can. Development can. Progress can.'
"Let our kids grow in peace, let us live. There is no justice after death", he implored the ULFA.
It may be mentioned that five suspects, including an ULFA pro-talks leader, have been arrested in relation to the incident. The five who have been apprehended so far are pro-talks ULFA leader Pranamoy Rajguru (suspected ‘mastermind’ of the blast), Assamese actress Jahnabi Saikia, ULFA bomb expert Amrit Ballav Goswami, Indramohan Bora, and Chinmoy Laskar.
