Guwahati, Aug 11: ULFA pro- talk faction leader Anup Chetia said the peace talks between the Centre, the Assam government, and the ULFA pro-talk faction will be held in the national capital after Independence Day.
Speaking to reporters, Chetia said, “We hope to arrive at a solution with the Government of India before the (general) election … It (GOI) realises that if it signs the agreement with us (ULFA pro-talk faction), the Assam imbroglio will be solved. The peace talks will be concluded before 2024”.
He said, “After Independence Day celebrations, our discussions will be held in New Delhi with the representatives of the Government of India and Government of Assam”.
The pro-talks ULFA faction had begun talks with the Centre as far back as 2011, but a final solution is yet to be arrived at.
The faction has alleged that there has not been much progress since the Narendra Modi government came to power, though the talks had reached the final stages during the regime of the former premier Manmohan Singh.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had invited Baruah to visit and spend a week in the state to witness the changes that had taken place since the 1980s, when he left.
