Indians to be targeted, warns Paresh led ULFA

Guwahati | December 8
The anti-talk faction of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Assam (Ulfa) headed by Paresh Barua has threatened to target ‘Indians living in Assam’ if state-sponsored terror against locals do not stop. In an email press communiqué today, the outfit said, “We condemn the atrocities perpetrated on locals by Indian colonial forces, particularly the CRPF Cobra commandos. If they are not withdrawn, Indians living in Assam will have to pay for it”. The threat comes amidst an extensive anti-Ulfa offensive by combined teams of the police and Cobra commandos in eastern Assam. The Ulfa had earlier killed Hindi-speaking people after issuing such a threat. Hindi speakers, for the outfit, represent ‘colonial India’. The police, however, brushed the threat aside. “Joint operations against the militants will continue as long as they are here,” Dibrugarh district superintendent of police Arabinda Kalita said.
