Assam Chief Minister Urges Banned Outfit ULFA(I) To Join Peace Talks

Mr Sarma said he was "sure" that soon the ''ULFA(I), too, will sit for negotiations and try to solve the problems of the state in a peaceful manner"'.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday reiterated his appeal to ULFA (Independent) chief Paresh Barua to come forward for peace talks, as it is the "only" militant outfit yet to do so.

Mr Sarma said he is certain that the ULFA (I) will soon step forward for peace talks.

"All insurgents outfits, barring the ULFA (I), have come forward for peace talks and resolved various disputes," he said, while speaking at the arms-laying ceremony of eight Adivasi insurgent outfits here.
