According to Telegraph, United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is said to have stepped up activities across some pockets in Upper Assam with a group entering Borhat in Sivasagar District and the Kakopathar-Pengeri areas in Tinsukia District, prompting SFs to sound an alert. The development comes ahead of the outfit’s Raising Day on April 7, a day when it has carried out strikes in the past. An MIU source said “The group is equipped with sophisticated weapons like AK-series rifles, hand grenades and a huge quantity of explosives. We are tracking them and hope to get them soon.” The sources added that the group had come from the Myanmar camps of the outfit and entered Assam through Tirap District of Arunachal Pradesh. However, the tardy progress in the peace process affected the confidence of the pro-talks ULFA group and boosted the morale of the anti-talks faction. There is another report of yet another seven-member group entering the Pengeri-Kakopathar-Bordumsa area in Tinsukia District. All these areas had always been a hotbed for the outfit. “We are tracking the movements of this group. An alert had been sounded throughout the district and we are confident that we will be able to prevent this group from carrying out any acts of violence,” a senior Police official of the District said. Mrinal Hazarika, a leader of the pro-talks ULFA camp, blamed the State as well as the Union Government for the reported resurgence of ULFA in Upper Assam. He said “Talks are the only possible way out. We will keep on repeating this. Direct talks between the Centre and the outfit are the only solution.”

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that operations against ULFA would continue because the outfit was still recruiting cadres. “If Ulfa continues to indulge in violence we will keep our operations going. We can’t lower our guard,” Gogoi said. Chief Minister on April 7 said that the Maoists had attempted to infiltrate the border areas of Assam over the past few years but failed because of “preventive measures”. Gogoi said, “What happened in Chhattisgarh is very dangerous. Assam is also vulnerable because the Maoists have been trying to build a base in the state’s border areas and tea gardens. They have not been successful because our forces are more experienced in tackling insurgents and also because we have treated the Maoist issue seriously from the outset.”

Sentinel reports that the ULFA hoisted its organizational flag at Bakaliaghat in Karbi Anlong on account of its Foundation Day on April 7. The outfit hoisted flag at No. 2 Udali Lower Primary School premises. The local administration claimed for a long time that the ULFA was inactive or has been neutralized in the hill District Karbi Anglong. But the ULFA’s organizational flag hoisting only at a distance of 200 metres from the 5th Rajputna Rifles Camp has shown presence of the militant organization in the District.

ULFA celebrated its ‘31st raising day’ with supporters and suspected cadres unfurling the proscribed outfit’s flag in various places across Assam. A flag was hoisted on the Moran College campus under Moranhat Police Station in Sivasagar District on April 6. Police later removed the flag and picked up Gopal Bhujjal, the night chowkidar of the college, for questioning. Further, suspected ULFA cadres hoisted the outfit’s flag in Rajgarh market on April 7, while supporters of the outfit tried to hoist the flag in an open field near the Tinsukia deputy commissioner’s office. “We chased two boys who were carrying an Ulfa flag and managed to catch one of them, Lakhi Moran, a resident of Pengeri and a student of Tinsukia ITI. His accomplice, Raju Moran, is absconding,” a senior Police official in Tinsukia said.

Telegraph reports that United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leader Arabinda Rajkhowa’s former personal bodyguard, Dilip Barman, was attacked in Dhubri on April 7. Therefore, the Dhubri Zila Praktan ULFA Samannayrakshi Samiti (an organisation of former ULFA cadres) has called a 12-hour Dhubri District bandh (general shutdown) beginning from 5am, April 9 (today). Dilip Barman is a central committee member of the organisation. The president of the Samiti, Sushil Chandra Roy, said that Barman was attacked by Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF) candidate Doneswar Goyari and his armed supporters when he was on his way back home from his uncle’s house in Satipara village in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). Meanwhile, the Samiti asked Assam Governor J.B. Patnaik to use his office to get ULFA, ‘general secretary’, Anup Chetia, extradited from Bangladesh. A seven-member group of the Samiti in a memorandum also said the Government and ULFA should start honourable talks at the earliest and Chetia should be part of the dialogue. Chetia is in custody of Bangladesh. The development comes a day after ULFA, ‘vice-chairman’ Pradip Gogoi, writing in the outfit's mouthpiece, Freedom, said the time had come to seek the opinion of masses, of different organizations and races.

With the Assembly elections in Assam slated for 2011 drawing nearer, State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has been putting pressure on the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the initiation of direct talks with the ULFA, even though top intelligence officials still maintain that time is not ripe for peace talks with the militant outfit. Top intelligence officials are of the opinion that the Government should take the issue of ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah into consideration while taking any decision on peace talks with the outfit.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on April 12 admitted the links between insurgent groups like United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), according to Telegraph. “There are reports about links between our insurgent outfits and Maoists. There is a probable link. I don’t find much of a difference between them if you look at their respective ideologies and styles of functioning. Both start off by exploiting sentiments of the masses in underdeveloped areas and try to solve problems through armed struggle. The whole idea is to destabilise the government,” Chief Minister said. Security sources earlier said that if the guns used in the massacre at Dantewada in Chhattisgarh were not all snatched from local Security Forces (SFs), chances are that some of them came from the Northeast, ferried in oil tankers. Sources said that the poorly guarded borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, is now gunrunners’ gateway to India. The region’s assortment of active, “surrendered” or “ceasefire-bound” militants keep the clandestine trade flowing, with a little help from SFs and private business, mentioned sources. The report adds that recent interrogation of a middle-ranked National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militant revealed how easily and how often the insurgents cross the international border carrying ammunitions that may then change hands. Another militant, from the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), spoke of how his group set up a Khasi militant outfit in Meghalaya just to gain control over a gun-smuggling route by proxy. “Don’t think (that arms smuggling takes place through) Kashmir and the western frontier. Those areas are well guarded,” a defence source said in Guwahati. “Whatever goes to the rest of India, including the Maoists, comes from areas such as Myanmar, China and Bangladesh and passes through the Northeast,” said source.

The duo exchanged their views regarding the issue of ULFA-Government and also took advice from the leading citizens of the town. In their talk they said that at present ULFA is not a problem for the government. But the demands that ULFA raised at present became a great problem for the government. The duo cadres hoped that the noted persons of Assam must help them to make the ULFA cadres free who are in jail. The duo also mentioned that the people opined that there should not be any barrier to discuss about the issue of sovereignty of Assam which have been raised by ULFA since a long period.

former General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Army's 4 Corps, Lieutenant General (retd) D.B. Shekhatkar warned that though the fundamentalist forces are lying low at this moment, the region is virtually sitting on a sleeping volcano, which may erupt at any time and “one should not be surprised if a demand for separation comes up by the end of the year 2018,” according to Assam Tribune. He also pointed out that effective steps must be taken to prevent infiltration of foreigners to the region and a close watch must be maintained on the activities of the fundamentalist forces. He further pointed out that there have been demands for inclusion of the Northeast in the erstwhile East Pakistan (Bangladesh) since the time of Independence and even today, the demand is raised from time to time. The fundamentalist forces and Islamic militant groups are now lying low but they have their “sleeping cells”, which can become active when they feel that the time is ripe for them to strike. The militant groups backed by Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), including the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), are still active and there is no reason for the fundamentalist forces to use their manpower to create disturbance in the region at this moment.

Telegraph reports that ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua rejected the peace initiative taken by the newly floated Citizen’s Forum stating that the outfit would never compromise on its demand for sovereignty. “We will never compromise on the issue of sovereignty. As such, we fail to understand how the Citizen’s Forum will go ahead with the peace talks without our core demand for independence,” Barua said in an e-mailed statement to the media. The forum had been floated to help broker peace between ULFA and the Government. Assam Tribune quoted Barua saying, “We know that the persons organizing the convention on April 24 are prominent personalities of Assam, but they are committed to the Constitution of India, which took away the legitimate rights of the people of Assam.” Also, the ULFA ‘chief’ added that the ULFA would sit for talks only if the Government of India agrees to hold talks on the issue of sovereignty of Assam and hoped that the convention would not call upon the outfit to come for discussions by giving up its demand and ideology. He said that the prominent citizens of Assam should put pressure on the Government of India to hold talks on the issue of sovereignty of Assam. They should also call upon the Government of India to arrange for a plebiscite on the issue of sovereignty of Assam. Paresh Barua said that 12,000 persons lost their lives during the ULFA’s struggle for restoration of the historical rights of the indigenous people of Assam and now the outfit would never compromise on its demand for the interest of holding talks with the Government of India. “We will not respect any call by the convention of prominent citizens if we are asked to give up our demand,” he asserted.

Assam Tribune reports that Hiren Gohain, President of the Preparatory Committee for All Assam Convention for Revival of Talks between Government and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), on April 20 said, “Let Paresh Baruah examine the contents of suggestions given by the State-level convention as a member of the central committee, which alone has the authority to take a final decision on the matter. If Baruah honours the constitution of the ULFA, he should wait until conditions are suitable for a meeting of the central committee in a situation free from constraints before rushing to the press.” He stated, “We are not proposing an abject dishonourable surrender to the political and bureaucratic bosses in Delhi unmindful of the legitimate claims and demands of the natives of the State.”

The ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua in an e-mail to the newly floated Citizen’s Forum’s leader Hiren Gohain, over the panel’s plan to hold a convention on peace, said “There is no question of talks without the issue of sovereignty on the agenda. Agreeing to hold talks without the sovereignty issue would be like surrendering to the colonial forces,” reports Telegraph. Barua’s statement questioned Gohain’s knowledge about ULFA and his commitment to solving the ULFA issue. “We believe that Gohain is not among those intellectuals who are working at the behest of the colonial forces to divide Ulfa. He should try to go deep into the Ulfa issue before coming up with suggestions,” the statement further said. Reacting to Barua’s statement, Gohain said, “I was Ulfa’s critic earlier, I would rather advise Paresh Barua to read my books and numerous articles on the Ulfa issue”. Further, the ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ of the ULFA, Raju Barua, said that it was the central committee of the outfit that was empowered to take a decision in a free and fair atmosphere on holding peace talks with the Government of India, according to Shillong Times. He said that there was no division in the ranks of ULFA and all cadres and leaders of the outfit including those lodged in jail now supported the outfit’s core demand for ‘restoration of sovereignty’ of Assam.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) stated that it might soften its stand on the sovereignty issue, a demand which the group had set as a precondition for talks with the Government, reports PTI. The outfit’s ‘vice chairman’ Pradip Gogoi said, “Sovereignty is a vital demand of the ULFA. The government should show an interest in this demand.” He, however, said “Discussion on sovereignty does not mean it has to be granted.” Gogoi said that the people of Assam are hoping that the Government will create a favourable atmosphere for peace talks and are concerned about the ongoing operations by the Army and Paramilitary Forces. Gogoi hoped that the state-level convention of Committee of Intellectuals, formed to facilitate talks between the Union Government and ULFA, scheduled to be held on April 24 (today), would come out with valuable suggestions to take forward the peace process. He also hoped that the convention would create a favourable atmosphere so that ULFA central committee leaders could meet either outside or inside the jail, where they are currently lodged. Gogoi asked the committee to take a resolution on ULFA leaders missing since ‘Operation All Clear’ by Royal Bhutan Army in 2003 and hoped the Government would give details about them.

The National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) formed and nurtured several radical outfits like Muslim Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) to get logistical support, shelter and passage in minority-dominated Districts of lower Assam, reports Telegraph. Also, the arrest of a MULTA cadre in Dhubri District on April 23, has unravelled involvement of MULTA in drug peddling. Four months ago, two MULTA cadres had been arrested with 400 grams of brown sugar in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills District on December 29, 2009. Sources said that MULTA that stepped up its drug-peddling activities after intensive counter-insurgency operations against the ULFA and the NDFB, which have been supporting it reduced its strength considerably. Sources mentioned, “This is evident from the fact that many youths of minority community belonging to the NDFB or acting as its linkmen have been arrested from the lower Assam districts in the past few years.” The source added, “The ISI is sitting at the helm of affairs and controlling the situation in the Northeast from Bangladesh and the fundamentalist organisations are carrying out their activities under the umbrella of Ulfa and the NDFB without much hue and cry.” The report adds that it took a long time for the intelligence agencies to understand that ULFA and the NDFB were using these fundamentalist organisations as their conduit. Meanwhile, sources also said that no direct link had been found between the MULTA and any National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) faction. But since MULTA’s patrons, ULFA and the NDFB, camped in Bangladesh and had tactical understanding with the NSCN factions for logistical support, it could be involved in arms racket, mentioned sources. The strategic location of Dhubri serves their purpose very well as the District shares an international border with Bangladesh, inter-State boundaries with Meghalaya and West Bengal and is in close proximity to Bhutan. All the narcotics routed to this part of the region come through Bangladesh. The Police and the Army have seized brown sugar five times in the past three years. Sources said though MULTA had lost considerable strength and was lying low at present, it was not totally depleted.

The Assam Police detained six persons from Goalpara and Kamrup Districts, including two from Guwahati on April 27, for planning to carryout bomb blasts in the Guwahati city, reports Assam Tribune. Sources confirmed that a team of ‘109th battalion’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) had carried out a survey of the city and it was planning to carryout blasts in Guwahati.

Sources said, “The ULFA team is concentrating somewhere in Goalpara and the explosives, as per our intelligence report, have already been procured.” However, sources refused that the subversive activities are being planned to derail the peace initiative taken by a group of distinguished citizens.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sent a wireless message to the Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Sankar Barua that Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, State Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his brother Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sushanta Biswa Sarma were on the hit list of the ULFA, according to Sentinel. The MHA has asked the State Police Chief to intensify the security of the three persons. The threat to the Chief Minister and the Health Minister comes even as State intelligence agencies warned of plans by the ULFA to stage serial bombings in Guwahati, besides carrying out abductions in the State. In addition, ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua once again stated, “ULFA will sit for talks only if sovereignty is included for negotiations. There is no point for the organization to put forth any further proposal.” He said, “Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has violated the rights of the indigenous Assamese by stating that there can be no talks on the issue of sovereignty.” Barua asked people to put pressure on the Government to hold a referendum on the issue of sovereignty.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has launched an extortion drive and served extortion notices to people in different parts of Assam, reports Assam Tribune. Security agencies expressed apprehension that the outfit might indulge in acts of violence to prove its existence so that those served with extortion notices can be forced to pay the demanded amounts. Sources revealed that the ULFA had divided the upper Assam area into three zones for launching extortion drives. The Districts of Jorhat and Golaghat were in one zone, Dhemaji and Lakhimpur Districts and Majuli River Island were included in the second zone and the Districts of Sivasagar, Dibrugarh and Tinsukia were included in the third zone. Sources said that different sections of people including politicians, traders etc received extortion demands from the ULFA in upper Assam areas. Sources further said that the ‘109th battalion’ of the ULFA had been asked to launch extortion drives in Boko, Palasbari and Chaygaon areas of Kamrup District and in Goalpara District. Drishti Rajkhowa, who heads the battalion, is now believed to be in Bangladesh and Gulit Das and Pradeep Basumatary have been entrusted with the responsibility of extortions on behalf of the battalion. Also, Hira Sarania ‘commander’ of ‘709th battalion’ is still at large and the battalion served extortion notices in parts of Guwahati city. The battalion also carried out joint operations with the members of the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) from time to time to collect funds for the outfit in recent months.
