A day after Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh challenged the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), asking them to target him if he posed a threat, the banned militant outfit has now accepted the challenge and asked the DGP to move freely around Guwahati for a week without security.
‘You Are Free To Target Me’: Assam DGP Challenges ULFA-I
In a press release, ULFA-I stated, “GP Singh, speaking to the media on December 15, 2023, gave a call to the ULFA-I, we have taken up the said challenge on two conditions. Firstly, use CRPF or Indian Army (excluding youth of WeSEA region) in place of the state police officers and constables who were being employed by GP Singh as his driver as as well as in the West-South-East Asia region for security. Secondly, just show yourself moving around Guwahati city without security for a week.”
“A decade ago, however, it was decided that the organization would not engage in clashes with the local officers/members of the Assam Police as well as the military officers/members of WeSEA region. Because in the past, many of our officers/members like brothers died in our hands when we clashed with Dibrugarh Superintendent of Police Daulat Singh Negi and Tinsukia Police Superintendent RK Singh,” the outfit further mentioned.
