ULFA (I) denies hand in Dibrugarh blast

Guwahati: The anti-talks faction of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) on Wednesday denied its involvement in the Tuesday evening’s bomb blast in Dibrugarh city in which a teenage girl was killed and 17 others injured.
In a statement e-mailed to the media here, the ULFA anti-talks faction or the ULFA (Independent) stated that the blast in Dibrugarh city was a handiwork of ‘agents’ of Assam police which have set a goal to finish off ULFA (I) within six months.
The ULFA (I) claimed that such agents are engaged by the police to carry out subversions to tarnish the image of the outfit and later these agents are shown to surrender before the police in stage-managed surrender ceremony.
The outfit claimed that several such agents are being kept by police in every district under special protection to use them against the ULFA (I).
Meanwhile, in a statement issued to a local Daily here the ULFA (I) commander in chief Paresh Barua claimed that Government of India tried to eliminate him on several occasions by infiltrating its agents into the ranks of the ULFA.
Not only are that such agent used to eliminate other senior leaders of the outfit to too.
The fugitive ULFA(I) commander in chief also stated that anti-talks militants groups in the North East region had decided to form a common platform to fight jointly against the ‘common enemy’ and a announcement in this regard would be made soon.
He said all these groups had realized that it was futile to fight against the ‘common enemy’ individually and every group has suffered because of it.
Though the name of the proposed common plat form of militant groups is yet to be announced the phrase west south-east Asia would be incorporated in it.
The ULFA leader stated that no militant group which has started ‘talks’ with the government of India would be made part of the group.
