Guwahati: The pro-scribed United Liberation Front of Assam (Indepen-dent)on its `protest day’ on Monday vowed to intensify its armed struggle in coordination with its allies in United National Liberation Front of WESEA (UNLFW) against Indian forces to thwart the design of Government of India to make Assam a Bengali-speaking majority state.
The ULFA (I)’s self-styled chairman Abhijit Asom in a statement e-mailed to the media accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making false promise to people of Assam to drive out illegal Bangladeshi migrants from Assam from May 17, 2016 during his election rallies before the last Assembly polls in the state and asserted that the outfit would oppose tooth and nail the Government of India’s latest attempt to grant citizenship to Bengali-speaking Hindu migrants staying in the state illegally as it would reduce the Assamese speaking sons of the soil to minority.
The outfit demanded that Assamese language be made the mandatory medium of instruction in all the schools, from lower primary to higher secondary level, in the state and other languages be introduced as additional subjects from higher secondary to university level for preservation and development of Assamese language in the state.
The ULFA (I) which has teamed up with other North East insurgent groups under the banner of (UNLFW) and took part in recent joint operations against Indian security forces in Assam and other parts of Northeast, observes November 28 as protest day to mark launch of Indian Army’s operation against the outfit in this day in 1990.
The outfit reiterated that there was no alternative to secure freedom for Assam from India to resolve the problems of indigenous people.
