The Assam government is aiming to ink a peace accord with the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in December.
This was stated by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while speaking to the media in New Delhi on December 15.
Process Of Giving Final Touches To Peace Deal With ULFA Pro-Talk Faction Is Underway: Assam CM
“We are aiming to sign a peace accord with the pro-talk faction of the ULFA within this month or latest by January next year,” said CM Sarma. He further said that the process of giving final touches to the peace deal with the pro-talk faction of the ULFA is underway.
CM Sarma said that the state government will initiate serious efforts to bring the Paresh Baruah-led United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) to talks table. “After a peace pact with the ULFA pro-talk is signed, serious efforts will be made to start talks with the ULFA-I,” he added.
Reacting to the recent acts of the ULFA-I of carrying out grenade explosions near army camps in Assam, CM Sarma said that such acts will only take the state backwards. “Exploding a few grenades will not make Assam independent, but this will definitely make Assam suffer,” he added.
