Pro-talk faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) general secretary Anup Chetia on Wednesday said he would not speak against United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) C-in-C Paresh Baruah for the greater interest of the Assamese community.

โ€œDespite having a lot to speak against him (Paresh Baruah), I wonโ€™t speak only for the interest of the greater Assamese community,โ€ Chetia said during a press conference at Guwahati.

Lashing out at Paresh Baruahโ€™s statement that pro-talk ULFA has no merit as well right to โ€˜bargainโ€™ with the government to gain something, Chetia said, โ€œEverything will be clear after signing of peace treaty if the peace talk process with the government of India ends fruitful.โ€

โ€œWe are doing our best in the peace talk process with the government,โ€ Chetia said.

Cheita further refused to talk about whether Paresh Baruah should come forward for peace talk process or not.

Talking about many dissimilarities of pro-talk ULFA with ULFA (I), he said, โ€œThe pro-talk ULFA does not want to involve in argument with ULFA (I) C-in-C Paresh Baruah on the issue of Rebati Phukanโ€™s whereabouts.โ€

Chetia said the mystery of disappearance of Rebati Phukan, an active member of Peopleโ€™s Consultative Group (PCG), should end.

โ€œJustice should be given if he has been murdered and ULFA (I) should make it clear if Phukan has joined the organization or not,โ€ Chetia said.

PCG was formed by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in 2005 to initiate the peace talk process between the government of India and the outfit.
