im from ASSAM . its my motherland. i have not went there for last one year.
i know that it is one of the richest state in india . but there is no progress
in every field in that golden state.this is maily because of ULFA. as an
assamese i will never support ULFA in there any field .
there will be no progress in ASSAM if ULFA is there.
if patriotism is there in ULFA ,then i told them to see other states of
indian (except NORTH EAST).
THEN they may understand what wrong they are doing

ULFA recruiting Bangladeshi youth to spread terror
November 23, 2006 11:18 IST
Unable to recruit young people from Assam for its operations, the banned United
Liberation Front of Asom was now recruiting poor Bangladeshi youths into its
ranks for acts of terrorism in the country, according to intelligence sources.
"These days, ULFA is finding it difficult to recruit Assamese youth in its
ranks. It is now learnt to be recruiting young people from poor families of
Bangladesh," the sources told PTI.
Stating that the chief of ULFA's army wing, Paresh Barua, is known to have
visited Pakistan to seek its assistance in the outfit's activities, the sources
said Pakistani youths were also likely to 'very soon' join in the outfit's
activities.
"In times to come, militancy in Assam will be hijacked by these elements and
ULFA will only be a facade and a nominal force tagging along," the sources
said, but declined to disclose how soon they expected this to happen.
Pointing out that the people of Guwahati quickly restored normalcy after the
November 5 twin blasts that left 13 people dead and over 50 injured, the
sources expressed apprehension that the ULFA would now seek soft targets like
school children and patients.
"There is a nagging anxiety that the ULFA may become even more desperate and
attack school children and hospitals, the most vulnerable of the lot. Anything
dastardly and cowardly as this can now be expected and people should be
prepared," they said, claiming that the ULFA's influence on the people of Assam
was now on the wane.
According to the sources, the November 5 blasts at Guwahati and Noonmati were
directed at non-Assamese residents.
"The aim of these attacks is to create an atmosphere of insecurity, cause
community-centric divide and precipitate an exodus of non-Assamese out of the
state. The Brahmaputra Mail, which left Guwahati on November 6 after the
blasts, was overcrowded with migrant passengers, mostly women and children from
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar," they said.
Claiming that the ULFA had used the ceasefire to regroup and re-arm itself to
take on the armed forces, the sources said that the security forces and the
police were aware of the 'ruse' and had warned the state administration in
advance.
Pointing out that the explosion at Guwahati was known to have been triggered by
a "timed and programmable device," they said that the design and technology had
probably been provided by militant outfits of Pakistan or Bangladesh.
"The recent spate of firing along the Indo-Bangladesh border was probably
designed to aid intrusions of militants into Assam with a view to create a
Jammu and Kashmir-like situation there," they said.
According to the sources, signs of division have appeared in the ULFA's rank
and file with moderates openly coming out against violence and the notion of
soverignty.
"For the ULFA hardliners soverignty now means Assam's integration within a
greater Islamic state comprising Bangladesh and Pakistan as a loose
confederation," the sources said.
