GUWAHATI:Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday claimed that the hardliner ULFA faction was planning to carry out violent strikes in the state with the help of other anti-national groups, including Maoists and ISI.

He said intelligence agencies of the Central as well as the state government have alerted the government about these possible strikes.

”The intelligence agencies have alerted that the ULFA faction led by its c-in-c Paresh Barua is working with other groups such as Maoists, ISI and Manipuri outfits to strike violence,” Mr Gogoi said at a press conference here.

He said trains and other public places could be possible targets.

The chief minister also did not rule out politicians being specific targets, though he refrained from naming any particular person.

”We are taking all precautionary steps and also request the public to be alert,” he added.

To a poser on resentment among militant groups already in talks over delay in the peace process, the chief minister said the peace talks needs time as it involves various issues and some amount of delay cannot be ruled out. (UNI)
