Anup Chetia !!!

Week : [8-15 November]

1.Chetia whose original name is Golap Barua, is the founder general secretary of the ULFA and is wanted for killings, abductions, bank robberies and extortion.
2.Bangladesh handed over Chetia, whose extradition India has been seeking for nearly two decades.
3.Chetia’s extradition to India will boost the ‘peace process’ initiated by government of India.

Pls Note-The first ULFA – government peace talk was held in early 2011 under the initiative of the then prime minister Manmohan Singh. Since then a few rounds of talk were held with major headway for a solution. ULFA had submitted its ‘Charter of Demands’ to the Indian government.
The pro-talk faction of the outfit had set a list of pre-conditions for the talks, one of them was that Chetia must be present during the negotiations.

On the other hand, the anti-talk faction is led by ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah and was later named ULFA (Independent).

The ULFA (I) had set up its general headquarters in Myanmar with support from Naga insurgent group Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang).
