I am not opposed to talks: ULFA leader
ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Barua today said that he was not opposed to
talks
but was against any diversion in the outfit's ideology.
In an e-mail sent to the media in Guwahati, Barua claimed that the solution to
the Assam's problem had become more complicated with the "various uncalled for
statements" by Sanmilita Jatia Abhibartan's convenor Dr Hiren Gohain.
Gohain, who along with other prominent intellectuals of the state decided to
help in the process of peace talks, had recently remarked that Barua alone
cannot decide the fate of the state and talks should proceed irrespective of
whether he comes for negotiations or not.
Reacting to this, Barua said, "ULFA's struggle alone cannot decide the fate of
Assamese people. I am just a part of the struggle".
"I am not opposed to talks. I am just against deviating from our ideology. Dr
Gohain is not aware of ULFA's history and long struggle for Assam's
sovereignty", he added.
Dr Gohain's statement has helped the vested interests and has only further
complicated the process to resolve the problems facing the people of Assam, he
added.
Gohain had said at the inauguration of the Abhibartan's Nalbari district unit
on
Sunday "Barua cannot decide the fate of Assam. It is in the hands of the common
people and they alone can take a decision in this regard".
