Militant group ULFA to sign tripartite peace accord with Central and Assam Government

On Friday, in the presence of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, leaders of the pro-talks faction of the ULFA and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the pro-talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the central and Assamese governments will sign a tripartite peace accord.

According to news agency PTI, the agreement will address several long-standing political, economic, and social issues about Assam as well as put an end to the state’s decades-long insurgency.

It said that the indigenous people would also receive land rights and cultural protection.

Since Paresh Baruah has been consistently rejecting the government’s olive branch, the hardline faction of the ULFA will not be a part of the agreement.

The hardline faction led by Baruah, who is thought to be living somewhere along the China-Myanmar border, fiercely opposed the ULFA faction, led by Arabinda Rajkhowa which started unconditional talks with the central government in 2011.

The demand for a “sovereign Assam” led to the formation of the ULFA in 1979.

Its subsequent subversive actions resulted in the central government designating it as a prohibited group in 1990.
