Paresh Baruah terms Rajkhowa's assertion as 'moral victory'

Guwahati, Dec 6 (PTI) United Liberation Front of Assam
(ULFA) 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah Sunday termed as a
"moral victory" the assertion of his arrested chairman
Arabinda Rajkhowa that he has not surrendered and will not
hold talks with the government in handcuffs.

In an e-mailed statement to the media, Baruah said
Rajkhowa had "showed his strength despite his mental and
physical torture" when he told reporters at the Kamrup Chief
Judicial Magistrate Court premises Saturday that he had not
surrendered and would never do so.
He also said that Rajkhowa had categorically stated
that talks cannot be held with him being in handcuffs and that
prisoners cannot negotiate.
The scene at the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court
premises Saturday where the outfit's supporters shouted
slogans in favour of the ULFA and its leaders, was also a
moral victory for the outfit, "as it showed the people's
support for us," Baruah said.
Claiming the ULFA has mass support, Baruah said,
"ULFA is very much alive, our struggle will never end and the
people of Assam are with us". PTI ESB
