Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has invited ULFA-Independent commander Paresh Baruah as a guest to Assam. Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the ULFA chief should see a changed Assam. Himanta Biswa Sarma invited ULFA (I) chief Paresh Baruah to visit the state as a 'guest' and witness the changed situation after decades.
ULFA is considered a militant organization by the Government of India and has been banned. ULFA-I has been demanding an independent Assam and wants to separate the territory from India. Former ULFA-I commander Paresh Baruah has been the leading face of separatist movements in the North East.
ULFA-I led by Paresh Baruah has carried out several violent activities in Assam. A few years ago, ULFA-I kidnapped three employees of India's giant petroleum company ONGC. In 2020, ULFA-I and NSCN-K jointly kidnapped two employees of Delhi-based oil and gas company Quippo for ransom. However, both were later released unharmed.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that Paresh Baruag should spend at least a week here to witness the transformation of Assam. CM said, "Paresh Baruah himself is a knowledgeable person. It doesn't mean he will come because I have invited him. He has his wisdom and logic. However, I think if he just seven days in Assam." stay, they will realize that old Assam has changed a lot."
