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.

So, finally, India too has joined the nations who are trying to make outer space their next symbol of supremacy and joins the space war. on the occasion of 97th Indian science congress being held in Thiruvanathapuram, Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO) Director General V K Saraswat has informed news persons that “India is putting together building blocks of technology that could be used to neutralise enemy satellites”.

It must be mentioned that, in 2007, China destroyed its own ageing weather satellite Fengyun 1C orbiting at a distance of 500 miles away from the earth using a missile. China was the first nation to destroy its own satellite using a missile. This has alarmed USA so much that it had also destroyed its own non-functional spy satellite to demonstrate its capability to the world!

There was another bomb blast today in Peshawar, a border city in Pakistan. It was fifth attack in this city which took place today in a police check point killing at least 13 people. As usual, it was suicide bombing attack, reportedly by Taliban which detonated a truck laden with explosives.

Incidentally, today Pakistan PM, Yousuf Raza Gilani told reporters in Multan, Pakistan, that it would expose Indian’s involvement in terrorism in Baluchistan. Gilani said: “The evidence will be presented at a suitable time.” It is very interesting that Pakistan is now accusing India of aiding terror in Baluchistan while India had been accusing Pakistan of sponsoring terrorist attacks in its Kashmir state. This is one accusation which many countries in the world agree, specially after America pressurizing Pakistan to act against terrorist organisation based in Pakistan.
