Following the meeting, Bhupen Borah told the media, “For the past many years, our Congress party wanted peace between ULFA-I and government. Congress initiated the peace process between the ULFA-I and the government when our government was in power in both centre and state. We want that complete solution.”

He further said, “I have heard the statements of both Paresh Baruah and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. I think instead of taking all credits, Chief Minister should take the matter seriously and work productively to end the decades-old insurgency problem in Assam.”
