MAOISTS NEXUS WITH ASSAM SEPARATISTS, INDIAN MEDIA http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=1196
TGW According to an Indian media report, Nepal is turning out to be the latest sanctuary/heaven for separatists of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) with the outfit forging links with Maoist guerrillas. The media report is based on some one who has recently surrendered to the Indian army. According to the report the surrendering person is a top leader of the ULFA. "The ULFA have set up some bases in Nepal with the help of Maoist guerrillas and the outfit was preparing to shift a large number of cadres and leaders to the neighboring country," a senior Army Commander was quoted as saying by the Indian media report. "We have been in close contacts with Maoist groups in Nepal, now in government, and procuring arms, ammunition, and explosives for the ULFA," the army officer told journalists quoting the ULFA leader. Not in the distant past India, was alleged instead for providing overt and covert support to the terrorist declared/red cornered Nepali Maoists in their soil. With this report, coming as it does at a time when the Maoists in Nepal are already in Nepal's Cabinet and its affiliate- the YCL(Young Communist League) is being targeted by the international as well as national forces for their erratic activities, is sure to bring more panic in the Maoists camp.

Baburam Bhattarai, the second-in-command of the CPN-M, on Wednesday denied the allegations that the ULFA have made Nepal as their new base with the help of CPN-M, saying "this is totally baseless, we don't know anybody from ULFA and we have never had any relationship with them at any point in the past.

Ghan-akanta Bora and his wife Tulsi, both senior ULFA leaders, Tuesday surrendered to Indian army and civil authorities in Assam State of India, according to local media. "The ULFA have set up some bases in Nepal with the help of the Maoist guerrillas and the outfit was preparing to shift a large number of cadres and leaders to the neighboring country (Nepal)," a senior Indian army commander quoted the couple as saying on Wednesday.
