GUWAHATI: The Paresh Baruah-led ULFA-I has called for a “political dialogue” on the issue of “sovereignty of Assam”.
In a statement, ULFA-I declared its refusal to comply with the summons issued by the NIA special court to its top leaders.
The NIA had issued summons to top ULFA-I leaders, including its chairman and general secretary.
The case pertains to involvement of the outfit in a grenade attack on an army camp in Assam last year.
ULFA-I leader Ishan Asom stated that the “conflict between Assam and India” requires a “political solution”.
