Another Assam accord in the offing?- TIMESNOW.tv - Latest Breaking News, Big News Stories, News Videos
India's most wanted fugitive, ULFA commander Arabinda Rajkhowa is in custody but unfortunately it appears that he could be given a safe passage. The stage is all set for talks with the ULFA. Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi says he supports a safe passage for ULFA commander Rajkhowa.
TIMES NOW has accessed the details of the secret pact between the Indian government and the ULFA. Highly placed sources have told TIMES NOW that no criminal charges will be filed against Rajkhowa and that talks with ULFA are likely to begin anytime soon.
It is told that the government is working on the modalities of Rajkhowa's first appearance after his arrest. Sources say Rajkhowa's custody will appear like a surrender, not a capture or arrest.
The secret ULFA-government pact is a reminder of a similar accord inked almost 25 years ago to bring peace to restive Assam.
Even as the goernmentt is tightlipped about the pact, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has said that the door for talks with the ULFA are now open.
A clear indication, however, came from Home Minister Chidambaram addressing the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, when he said that the ULFA would soon make a political statement.
Chidambaram said, "I think in the next few days, the ULFA will make a political statement. If that political statement offers talks with India, our government is prepared for talks, provided they give up arms and give up demand of sovereignty."
Former DGP of Punjab KPS Gill has said that the government still needs to test whether the ULFA is sincere in its attempt for talks.
When asked whether he thought another accord process would work this time, Gill said, "When government starts talking, a part breaks off and makes impossible demands, and resorts to violence. I hope that doesn't happen in this case. If this accord leads to peace, it would be a good development."
Replying to a question whether the ULFA might use this to ensure safe passage for its leaders, he said, "Government always keeps the doors of negotiation open. The ULFA is yet to be tested, to see if they are sincere. But I think the ULFA can be taken as trustworthy, that they have agreed to certain negotiations. I feel it would be a good development, and it would be good to repose trust in this endeavour."
Even the People's Consultative Group which has been spearheading the talks from the ULFA's end has now urged the terror outfit not to put forth any pre-condition.

What???? Khalistan movement reached its peak only after the death of Bhindarawala..Thereafter Punjab faced her worst terrorism days for almost a decade and finally the movement saw its doom but there also the reason was vested interests that fiddled away the public support...Actually it was due to operation blue star that raised the emotions within the sikh community unlike the common belief that Sikh community supported Bindhrawala in and out...
Anyways its not just the leaders but the common cause which keeps an organization going...However i do admit that in the absence of a potent leader you tend to loose your direction...So GOI work is not cut out yet...They have at max manage to get a stab at ULFA but now they need to weaken the movement(other words kill the public support)...

Nothing new. Arabinda Rajkhowa has been arrested atleast 6 times in the past decade and released. He is chairman of the Pro talk segment.
He is not the leader of ULFAs battalions (military) . ULFA chief is Paresh Baruah who is anti talk. He has to be brought to discussions if ULFA is going to give up arms. Else no use.
The cat and mouse game that the govt is playing with Arabinda since 2 days shows the signs of uncertainty whether to tell the people that Rajkhowa was arrested or surrendered. There are also elements who dont like to disclose that the pro talk chairman has surrendered.
Whatever, he wanted to talk and put an end to it. This is one chance that the gove will not get again so soon.

Reports of arrest false, aimed at derailing peace: ULFA chairman
NEW DELHI: Ulfta chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa on Thursday claimed that reports of his "arrest" were aimed at creating confusion and "derailing" the
peace process in Assam.
"I am speaking to you from the same location in Bangladesh from where I normally speak from. Those who say that I have been arrested are deliberately trying to create confusion. They want to derail the peace process in Assam even before it can begin," he told North East TV channel.
53-year-old Rajkhowa said, "They (people opposing him) don't want a political and peaceful solution to the problem. Such people don't want to take the peace process to succeed. Every time we want to take the peace process forward such people spread wrong information".
Conflicting reports on the Ulfa leaders arrest had appeared on Wednesday. Intelligence sources had said that Rajkhowa had surrendered to Indian security forces in Agartala and taken to New Delhi by a flight from the Tripura capital late last evening. Top government sources in New Delhi had said that Rajkhowa was picked up by sleuths of Bangladeshi security agencies and kept in a secured location in Dhaka.
National Security Advisor M K Narayanan said earlier in the day that if at all Rajkhowa is arrested, he would probably surrender first.

Is Bangladesh mediating between India and ULFA? seems like that to me.
Friend you are getting it wrong
Nothing can be achieved with violence. This will lead to greater cooperation between two neighboring countries. Terrorist and separatist are not friends of any civilized country. We have millions of poor people to take care of bravado and sloganeering will not fill their stomach. Peace and civil rule will have to prevail for any development to take place and economic growth will only lead to poverty alleviation in masses. History is proof of the fact that nations who have supported any armed struggle in neighboring countries will fall prey to the same forces.
Hasina government has demonstrated a great act of statesmanship for which all Bangladeshis must be proud. When the state is in command there is no question of any non state actors. How sad it looks when the heads of countries have to publicly acknowledge that they dont have any control over non state actors operation from their soil. Indians appreciate and acknowledge this gesture of your country.
ULFA chief, 10 others handed over to India
Dawki (Meghalaya): United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) Chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa was handed over to Border Security Force (BSF) by Bangladeshi security agencies early on Friday morning at an outpost along the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya.
Rajkhowa was handed over along with 10 others including his wife and two children and ULFA's military operations deputy chief Raju Barua at the Dawki outpost in the Jaintia hills district of Meghalaya.
The other people who were handed over include Rajkhowa's bodyguard, Barua's wife and son, and wife and daughter of ULFA's foreign secretary Sashadhar Choudhury.
All of them have been brought to Guwahati for completion of legal formalities.
The 53-year-old ULFA chairman had expressed his desire to start peace talks with the Centre and has reportedly been talking to Union Home Ministry and intelligence officials on modality of talks.
On the other hand ULFA's commander-in-chief Paresh Barua has spoken out against the peace talks and wants to continue with the armed insurgency.
Barua reportedly told some Assamese intellectuals close to him that he did not support the proposed talks as sovereignty of Assam was not one of the per-conditions.
Arrested publicity secretary of ULFA Mithinga Daimary also said that talks without Barua would be useless.
"It is possible to hold talks within the framework of the Constitution but talks without Barua would be unrealistic. Sovereignty must be the basis for talks though whether it will be achieved or not, the future alone can tell," Daimary said at the Kamrup Chief Judicial Magistrate's court.
Rajkhowa had founded ULFA along with four others people on April 7, 1979. He was arrested in Bangladesh on Monday.

Corrupt & womaniser , Baruah loses cadre trust
NEW DELHI: ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah appears to have been sidelined not only within the top leadership of the outfit but also among
the cadres, thanks to his philandering ways, jet-setting lifestyle and his brazen diversion of funds meant for Ulfas activities to setting up his own businesses in countries like China.
Baruah, who was arguably the tallest leader in Ulfa at one point of time, now leads a luxurious lifestyle that few insurgent bosses can even dream of. He travels frequently across Pakistan, China, Bangladesh and Bangkok, even as the cadres fight in the jungles of Assam or train in makeshift camps in Bangladesh to carry on Ulfas violent struggle.
Baruah being a compulsive womaniser was also something that alienated him from the cadres. While he publicly projected himself as a protector of women and ordered the brutal killing of any male cadres caught assaulting a woman, he himself was a womaniser and would regularly force himself upon the female cadres.
But what really turned the Ulfa toprung leaders, including Arabinda Rajkhowa , against Baruah was the latters brazen embezzlement of funds meant for Ulfas activities to finance his own business ventures.
It is believed that Pakistan, through ISI, was passing on funds for Ulfas insurgent activities directly to Baruah, who would often travel to Karachi. But much of this financing of late never reached the Ulfas coffers; the commander-in-chief would cleverly siphon off these insurgency money sourced from Pakistan to finance his own business interests in countries like China.
Baruah, who has a Bangladeshi passport , would often travel to Bangkok to buy arms for the Ulfa. However, a good chunk of the money meant for securing arms was retained by him for his own use. He would apply for a Chinese visa from Bangkok and proceed to China to invest the diverted arms money in business ventures there.
Paresh Baruah also has vast business interests in Bangladesh that range from real estate, hotels, garment factories, trawlers, transport companies, tanneries and even departmental stores

ULFA split wide open, Baruah slams Rajkhowa
The split now seems clear among the top leadership of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom - ULFA. The outfits military commander-in-chief, Paresh Baruah reportedly called up peace activist Hiren Saikia and sent a message through him that clearly points out that the ULFA is indeed split right down the middle. Baruah reportedly made the call from an unknown location following news of ULFA chairman Rajkhowa's arrest and surrender.
Baruah has said there is no question of compromise, and slammed Rajkhowa for surrendering.
Saikia told TIMES NOW, His (Baruahs) point was clear: that he is not going to give up the aim and the principles and ideology of ULFA just for the sake of talks. Eleven thousand lives have been laid down for the struggle, and the only condition on which he will come for talks will to be on the position of sovereignty for Assam. But - if anybody wants to abandon the ULFA principles and go for talks, they are free to go.
Saikia, a member of the Peoples Consultative Group, said that from his assessment, any dialogue or settlement between the Indian government and the ULFA would not be fruitful without Baruahs presence and cooperation.
While Baruah has made his stand clear that Indian custody of Arabinda Rajkhowa is a big breakthrough for India. Rajkhowa was handed over along with his wife and two children to the BSF by Bangladeshi security agencies at the Dawki outpost along the Indo-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya, and along with Rajkhowa ten others, including ULFA's military operations deputy chief Raju Barua were also said to have surrendered.
They were then flown to Guwahati where they were taken into preventive custody. Sources say Rajkhowa is being currently held with the Assam Police battalion Kahilipara in Guwahati.
His wife, child, and bodyguard are also being detained held at Kahilipara. ULFA Deputy commander in chief Raju Baruah is also believed to be held at the same location.
