“sovereignty” of Assam will “never be compromised” -ULFA-I Chief Paresh Baruah

News Desk :
Assam’s “sovereignty” is the core issue of the United Liberation Front of Assam -Independent (ULFA-I).
In a statement issued on Thursday, Paresh Baruah, the chairman of the Supreme Council, United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent), said: “…historically Assam was never a part of India. Assam was a nation beaming with pride and sovereignty, which was later colonized by foreign invaders. This is a legitimate and a historically correct fact which needs to be brought into the limelight,” “The 42 years old struggle for Independence is still continuing to restore Assam to its former glory. In addition, the sovereignty of Assam will never be compromised in the year to come,” he asserted.
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reportedly said the peace process with the ULFA-"I must be taken forward by striking the right balance between the outfit’s core demand and the ambit of the Constitution of India."
On Thursday, Sarma tweeted: “No Chief Minister can discuss Sovereignty of India with anyone. This is non-negotiable. We all Indians, irrespective of our positions, are here to protect the sovereignty of India.”
