ULFA pro-talk leader says Bangladesh has backstabbed movement | Mrinal Hazarika, the leader of a pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has said that Bangladesh has betrayed and backstabbed them, after the group's top leaders recently landed in the net of Indian security forces close to the border. Talking to reporters here on Thursday, Hazarika said:
"The Bangladesh government has stabbed ULFA because for so many days Arabinda
Rajkhowa, the self-styled chairman of ULFA was in Bangladesh but now they held
talks with India and handed over him to India, definitely we feel betrayed." Rajkhowa
was arrested after he turned up near India's border with Bangladesh and produced
before a court in Guwahati on December 5. In less than a month, the ULFA has been
dealt a body blow with the arrest of the group's top leaders including Rajkhowa
Raju Baruah, Chitraban Hazarika, Sacha Chaudhary. Only the group's military commander,
Paresh Barua, who police believe to be in hiding somewhere along Myanmar-China
border, still remains elusive. The ULFA, which demands independence for the tea
and oil-rich Assam, is biggest insurgent group, running a three-decade-old campaign
that has killed some 30,000 people. Though the ULFA''s military strength has waned,
it still has capacity to organise attacks. At least six people were killed and
40 wounded in two bomb blasts in Assam last month. |
