Guwahati: United Liberation Front of Asom—Independent (ULFA-I) Chief Paresh Baruah said that they are still open for talks regarding the release of the two abducted oil drilling company employees.
Speaking to News Live chief managing editor Syed Zarir Hussain, ULFA (I) commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah said, “We are not murders. We have a great purpose to serve. If there is still any solution we are ready to talk. If anyone takes the initiative in this regard, we are willing to consider it. “
Baruah also added, “This is an unfortunate event. We have not invented this situation. The people of Assam will know after Monday what the situation will be. Quippo has negotiated with various organizations, so why not with us? They pay money to several leaders of various organizations. What is the purpose of this money? Do they burn tires or have a feast with the money? They have no issues but still, they are given money. The leader of the national organization has used Quippo against us. They need to change their attitude. We’ve heard of the family, and we’ll consider it if Quippo expresses goodwill. It’s not about us; it’s about all the people of Assam. “
After the United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) released a statement on Friday that it would take “extreme steps” against the abducted oil drilling company employees the Government said that it will not bow down to the demands of the banned outfit.
ULFA (I) rebels had abducted radio operator Ram Kumar and drilling superintendent Pranab Kumar Gogoi from the Kumchaikha hydrocarbon drilling site in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh on December 21, 2020.
