Acting chairman Abhijeet Barman will be known as Abhijeet "Asom". "This is an attempt to rebuild Assamese society," the faction's assistant publicity secretary Arunodoy "Asom" (earlier Dohitiya) stated in the email.
  Sources in security and intelligence agencies said they had no clue as to why the anti-talks faction has taken this decision. "This is bizarre," said a security source.
