GUWAHATI, November 2 (Agencies): After opposing the ongoing peace process and stating that the political conflict between India and Assam could only be resolved by holding discussions on "sovereignty", Ulfa hardliners on Tuesday issued a fresh warning of launching attacks on government transport, politicians, black marketers and corrupt officials.
In an email sent by Arunodoy Dohotia, the chief of Ulfa's publicity wing, the hardliners asked the public to maintain safe distance from people belonging to any of the above mentioned categories. "We want to alert everyone to keep away from government transport, vehicles of corrupt politicians and companies utilizing the resources of the state improperly, black marketeers and corrupt officials to avoid any kind of action," said Dohotia in the email.
Meanwhile, the split between Ulfa hardliners and Arabinda Rajkhowa-led pro-talks faction has once again come to the fore with both sides involved in a mudslinging on the topic of "sovereign Assam".
Another email sent by pro-talks Ulfa faction's publicity wing member Kamal Kachari rubbished the demand of "sovereign" Assam by saying that it has lost relevance in in today's time. "The state is not asking for an armed movement. Paresh Baruah should not comment on the demand of Assam's sovereignty by staying at a distance. His demand has no relevance in today's time and is very immature," said Kachari.
He added that the ongoing peace process will not be hampered by Paresh Baruh's personal statements. "Though Baruah claims to represent the Assamese people, the commoners here don't want any more violence," he said in the email. On the other hand, pro-talks Ulfa leader Jiten Dutta was arrested for contempt of court on Tuesday. Dutta was held for not being present in the TADA court several times. He was taken to Guwahati Central Jail in the evening.
