Conflicts rise in ULFA (I) and NSCN (K)

A top source said that, two top ULFA (I) leaders currently based in Myanmar, who also known to be very close with Paresh Baruah, have recently contacted to a top official of Union home ministry and a top Assam police official and expressed their desire to come main stream.

“Conflict has been growing up in ULFA (I) after its C-in-C Paresh Baruah made several statements in favour of China and some leaders of the outfit had openly opposed it,” a top official of Assam police said.

“Two top leaders of the outfit have recently contacted to a top official of Union home ministry. Not only these two leaders, few other cadres of the outlawed group want to quit ULFA (I),” the top police official said.

On the other hand, several leaders of NSCN (K) have been in touch with the Union home ministry.

The top police official said that, recently NSCN (K)’s deputy C-in-C Niki Sumi and its army chief Isak Sumi met European Union ambassador to Myanmar Roland Kobia and Indian ambassador to Myanmar Vikram Misri at a Indo-Myanmar bordering town in Eastern Nagaland.

“It is big development as two NSCN (K) leaders discussed with the Indian officials in the soil of Myanmar expressing their desire to talk with the Union government,” the official said.
