ULFA ( United Liberation Front of Assam), an insurgent group active in Indian state of Assam, had been fighting for independent Assam since 1979. During this period, it had got almost 80% of its top leaders arrested by Indian security forces and are lodged in Guwahati ( state Capital of Assam). But Paresh BArua, the self styled ‘commander-in-chief’ of ULFA’s military wing has been absconding and without his arrest or surrender, ULFA is considered to be powerful enough to disturb peace in Assam.
Indian government has been trying to engage ULFA for negotiation for long time now. ULFA is one of the few insurgent groups in North East India, which has not come to negotiation table with Indian government even for once. Though there have been ceasefire many times before between ULFA and Indian security forces, but there was never any negotiation between them.
Recently, Assam government has allowed its top leaders to get bail un-opposed! Many see this as conciliatory gesture by government for paving way for negotiations. ULFA’s vice chairman Pradip Gogoi and Publicity Secretary Mithinga Daimary have been granted bail by Guwahati city court. Few days ago, ULFA adviser Bhimkanta Buragohain alias MAMA was transferred to Guwahati Jail where all other ULF’s top leaders including its founder chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa are lodged.
Here is the news :
Guwahati: Signalling the government’s keenness to give momentum to the peace overtures that it has been indulging the ULFA with, a special anti-terror court here Tuesday released on bail top commanders Pradip Gogoi and Mithinga Daimary. The banned outfit’s vice-chairman Pradip Gogoi was granted bail by the TADA court here in all six cases lodged against him paving way for his immediate release. Source.
