******************************************************************************** Mamoni: Free Anup, 9 other ULFA leaders From our CorrespondentNEW DELHI, Aug 19: Noted writer Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami requested Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to release the top ten ULFA leaders who are languishing in different jails in Assam and Bangladesh.
In a letter to the PM, Dr Goswami said that it would be a good gesture on the part of the PM, who is a nominee from Assam, if he released the 10 top leaders of the banned outfit. "It will break the deadlock between the Centre and the ULFA if the PM responds positively to my prayer. The people of Assam are tired of bloodshed. They want peace. I personally feel that the Government should forgive the leaders of the banned outfit who are languishing in different jails in extreme conditions, and release them keeping in mind the sentiment of the Assamese people," said Dr. Goswami.
Assam Government said that it was ready to release the six leaders who were in different jails in the State. Now the Centre has to take a positive step in bringing Anup Chetia, who is languishing in a Dhaka Jail. She also said that she had got feedback from the people of Assam favouring her peace bid.
Dr Goswami also reminded the PM that no untoward incident had happened in Assam on the Independence Day, which was a positive sign from the rebel group.
