ULFA ready for talks if sovereignty figures: Paresh Barua

Guwahati, Dec 5 (PTI) United Liberation Front of Assam
(ULFA)'s self-styled commander-in-chief Paresh Barua, who is
known to be against talks, Saturday said he had "full
confidence" in chairman Arabindo Rajkhowa and the outfit was
ready for a dialogue provided "sovereignty"
for India's northeastern state of Assam was discussed.

There was no confusion in the minds of the ULFA cadres on
talks as right from the grassroot level cadre to the chairman
and advisor, all "were ready for it provided sovereignty for
Assam was discussed," Barua said in an e-mail to North East
Television.
Denying that there was a split in the ULFA, he said,
"There is no split ... and we have full confidence on Chairman
Arabinda Rajkhowa."
He said "the question of difference of opinion does not
arise and now it is up to the Indian government to show their
sincerity by taking the process forward."
Barua dubbed the news regarding split in the ULFA as
"conspiracy by the Indian government as a part of its divide
and rule policy and misinformation campaign to create
confusion among the people of Assam." (MORE) PTI DG
