This comes a day after the Center and the Assam government signed an agreement Settlement memorandum With Ulfa in New Delhi.
The 66-year-old rebel leader, who is believed to be shuttling between Myanmar and China, called STOI from an undisclosed location and reiterated that the Ulfa (I) is not against dialogue, but wants assurances that the issue of sovereignty, which he said is the right to be discussed Historical political of Assam.
“The Assam Chief Minister has clearly told us that we cannot go to the discussion table without ensuring that sovereignty is discussed. The only thing that the Prime Minister probably needs is the support and proper guidance of Assam's intellectuals,” Baruah said.
He said that discussions on sovereignty would not violate the Indian Constitution, highlighting the importance of addressing all issues within a democratic system. “The Indian Constitution does not prevent discussions on sovereignty. A discussion of sovereignty will not destroy the sanctity of the Indian Constitution. Rather, it will add more brilliance to the Constitution. True democracy will be reflected if the Constitution allows every issue to be discussed. One nation, one rule will not serve the purpose unless all matters are discussed.” “Issues.”
CM Sarma said on Friday that the agreement with Ulva would facilitate efforts to involve Ulva (I) in the peace process. “There have been suggestions in the state that talks with both factions cannot be held together, so we can now make our efforts to bring Paresh Baruah to the discussion table,” the chief minister said.
Baruah acknowledged the possibility and expressed hope for Sarma's role. “We believe he can do it and that's why we call him the Catalyst. We have not given up hope and even if the Assam Chief Minister asks us to wait for another year, we will have no objections. We have waited 44 years, and our patience is endless.”
While criticizing the peace agreement reached on Friday, Baruah expressed his good wishes to the Ulfa cadres, stressing their newfound freedom after decades of residing in designated camps. “How can we go (to the talks)? And no one has given us this assurance yet (regarding the sovereignty discussion). We do not want to sit down for dialogue on a financial package,” he said, describing the peace agreement with Ulfa as “less descriptive and more ruminative.”
However, Baruah made it clear that he was not surprised, angry, disappointed or discouraged by the peace agreement. We've known this result for 13 years. “No one goes to the discussion in order to sign an agreement that has been arranged.”
He said that the agreement lacks specificity because it does not provide a detailed description of what was granted and the implementation mechanisms. “This agreement is more ruminative because it took 14 years. Does it take that long after all the things included in the agreement have been completed in the last six months?
