The Peace talks with militant groups like Black Widow (BW), United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) and the pro-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) are likely to be expedited as the Union Government’s interlocutor for the peace talks, P.C. Haldar has started the process and the Union Government is also reportedly keen on early solution of the problems. Official sources told Assam Tribune that Haldar, a former Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), arrived in Guwahati to hold preliminary talks with the militant outfits under cease-fire agreement with the Government. Sources said that during the visit, Haldar would stay in the State for at least four to five days and he would be holding preliminary talks with the leaders of the outfits. Sources said that Haldar would be visiting Haflong in North Cachar Hills District for talks with the leaders of the BW followed by a visit to Diphu in Karbi Anglong District for talks with the UPDS leadership. He will also hold talks with the leaders of the pro-talk group leaders of the NDFB. However, sources said that the present visit of the former IB chief is only to hold preliminary talks with the outfits to know their psychology and demands.

The opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) party made an appeal to both the Government and ULFA to settle the contentious issues through negotiation. In a statement in Guwahati, the chief spokesman of the party, Atul Bora, said that none of the parties should slap any condition for the negotiation. Moreover, he said that the Governments in the State and at the Union should involve all leaders of the militant group in the negotiation. In the name of negotiation, the people of the State should not be deceived again, said Bora. Blaming the Tarun Gogoi-led Government’s nine-year term for the present volatile situation, said that the restoration of peace is the only solution to it. The Government should not go on reckless killing of youths in the name of containing insurgency. It should go for political solution of the insurgency problem, he added further.

Three prominent jailed ULFA leaders — ‘vice-chairman’ Pradip Gogoi, former ‘publicity secretary’ Mithinga Daimary and ‘cultural secretary’ Pranati Deka — said that there is a bleak future of peace talks if Rajkhowa takes such a move sidelining Paresh Baruah and violating ULFA’s constitution. The three ULFA leaders were produced in the court in Guwahati on December 3. Talking to reporters, Mithinga Daimary said: “Arabinda Rajkhowa alone can’t drop the sovereignty demand that is in the constitution of the ULFA, and as such, he has no right to go for peace talks without Paresh Baruah. If he holds peace talks with the Government of India without Paresh Baruah and dropping the demand for sovereignty, the jailed ULFA leaders won’t be with him. Talks should be on sovereignty of Assam, and whether the demand is met or not is a different matter. If Paresh Baruah gives his nod to peace talks, the peace process may go on the right track.” On the reported arrest of Arabinda Rajkhowa, he said the Government does not want any peace talks with the ULFA. “An arrested Rajkhowa can’t do anything towards peace talks what a free Rajkhowa can,” he added.

A cadre belonging to ‘709th battalion’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), identified as Dharmendra Kalita, was arrested by a joint team of the Police and CRPF near the Guwahati refinery along with RDX and ball bearings, which are used as splinters in bombs, in the night of December 26, reports Telegraph. Kalita belonged to Nalbari District of lower Assam. “He was walking along the railway tracks near the Sector 3 area of the refinery complex. When he was asked to stop, he tried to flee but was captured,” a Police Officer said. Sources said Kalita had revealed during interrogation that several ULFA cadres from the lower Assam Districts had entered the State capital recently to carry out the strikes. “We, too, had some unsubstantiated inputs about Ulfa plans to carry out strikes at vital installations in the state, especially in the capital city, but Kalita has now corroborated it. We have now taken a re-look and tightened security around these areas,” the Police Officer said. He said Kalita was a bomb expert and knows how to make an improvised explosive device (IED). “He had all the ingredients required to prepare the IED with him. We are expecting to get more specific information from him about the other cadres who have entered the city,” he said. The Police said ULFA cadres in lower Assam were still active and preparing to carry out strikes. “Several active cadres of the outfit from lower Assam are taking shelter on the outskirts of the city and are looking for opportunities to enter the city to strike,” another Police Officer said. Police sources recently revealed that they have information about ULFA cadres from lower Assam Districts setting up a base again inside Bhutanese territory near Barpathar village in Assam’s Chirang District. Sources added that two top leaders of the 709th ‘battalion’ of the ULFA, identified as self-styled ‘second lieutenant’ Baba Rabha and ‘sergeant major’ Kushal Das, are manning the camp that has over 100 cadres, most of them new recruits.
