"ULFA Peace Talks Progress as Sovereignty and Disarmament Take Center Stage"

Ulfa (Independent) leader Paresh Baruah has expressed willingness to engage in peace talks with the Indian government, provided that discussions include the topic of Assam's sovereignty. Following a recent peace agreement between the Centre, Assam government, and Ulfa, Baruah seeks assurance from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that sovereignty will be on the agenda. Baruah believes that discussing sovereignty does not conflict with the Indian Constitution and is essential for true democracy. While critical of the recent peace deal's lack of detail, he remains hopeful for constructive dialogue and has praised the CM's potential role as a catalyst in the peace process.
