Baruah Trying to Derail Peace Talks With ULFA:Gogoi

Guwahati, Feb 13 : ULFA's self-styled commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah is trying to regroup the cadre to derail the peace process initiated in Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said.

"Paresh Baruah, with a handful of his supporters, is trying to regroup the residual cadre for a showdown in the coming days apparently to derail the peace process which seems to be in the offing with the arrest of many top leaders," Gogoi said here.

Stating that right from the inception of ULFA in 1979, the Myanmar-based NSCN (K) has been offering assistance and logistic support to it, Gogoi did not rule out the possibility of Baruah taking its help for shelter in that country.

Following the arrest of top ULFA leaders in Bangladesh, including chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and Baruah's deputy Raju Baruah, Paresh fled to Myanmar recently.
