Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) stated that it supports the definition of "indigenous" people that was recently announced by Khilonjiya Mancha Asom, an organization led by Anup Chetia of pro-talks faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF), The Telegraph reports on February 20. The Anup Chetia led organization had recently said that those who resided in Assam before the Yandabu Treaty of February 24, 1826 (when Assam was annexed to the British Empire) were indigenous people. Those who settled in the state thereafter and accepted Assamese culture as their own were accepted as Assamese but were not indigenous people. The statement said tea garden communities who were brought from Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh by the British to work in tea gardens of Assam and accepted Assamese language and culture as their own were also Assamese but they could not be considered as indigenous people. The outfit talked the same about Gorkhas and Nepalis living in Assam. ULFA-I ‘assistant publicity secretary’ stated that ‘We support the definition of indigenous people announced by the Mancha in its Guwahati Declaration which was resolved after a convention on February 12 and 13. Many local organisations and political parties, despite knowing the definition of indigenous people, have not yet made it public for their political gains and it is significant that the Mancha has done it’.

Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) expressed its condolences regarding the death of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), ‘commander- in-chief’ Sohan D Shira, reports The Shillong Times on February 26. Additionally, Paresh Baruah also refuted rumours circulating on social media that Drishti Rajkhowa of ULFA-I has been made new chief of GNLA, reports Northeast Today on February 26. The ULFA-I ‘chief’ stated that ‘ULFA ‘constitution’ does not allow this under as it does not recognize the Indian Constitution and according to reports suggest that it may be the exclusive reason for ULFA-I not supporting the plea of GNLA to make Drishti Rajkhowa (Manoj Rabha) its new ‘commander-in-chief’ after the death of Sohan D Shira. GNLA has been fighting for a separate Garoland state within the Indian Union while ULFA-I is fighting to secede from India. According to a social media post a meeting was held between GNLA cadres and Rajkhowa after the death of Sohan after which it was decided to appoint Rajkhowa as the ‘new commander in chief’. The decision was apparently taken by the five senior most cadres of the outfit. The post further stated that Rajkhowa has promised to bring in about 50 ULFA cadres to add firepower to the GNLA. The social media post was posted by a Facebook user identified as Gongbin Marak. The handle has been used by multiple users including Sohan D Shira.

He said that improving relation with the common people paid rich dividends for the law enforcing agencies in the past and asserted that the police and security forces would be able to deal with militants in the interstate border areas with active cooperation of the common people.

Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) on May 11 threatened to withdraw from talks if Government of India (GoI) passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, reports The Telegraph.

ULFA ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia stated that ‘We will be out of peace talks if the Centre passes the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016. Assam will be on fire and many will join Independent faction of ULFA (ULFA-I), which is still active’. He also added that ‘We had taken up arms with the feeling that the indigenous people of the state were in danger. We gave up arms and started peace talks. But the Centre, disregarding public protests, is going to pass the bill, another move to put the indigenous people of the state in danger. We are contacting militant groups of the Northeast who are in ceasefire on the issue. We will start a democratic movement against the bill’. Representatives of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Ranjan Daimari faction), Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) and all militant groups of the state in ceasefire, were present at the meet. ULFA leaders said the NDFB (Progressive), also in ceasefire, had sent them a message supporting their stand on the bill.

They also have no idea about the 1961 agitation in which 11 people had laid down their lives for Bengali language’. He also alleged that ‘large numbers of illegal immigrants have been included in the draft NRC. “The names of more than 95 per cent applicants in places like Goalpara, Dhubri, Karimganj and Barpeta have appeared in the draft NRC. These places are full of illegal immigrants and hence, the final NRC will not be error-free’.
