GUWAHATI, July 12 (IANS): The outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) Tuesday offered indefinite ceasefire to pave the way for a permanent solution to more than 30 years of insurgency in Assam.
ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa said in a statement Tuesday: "The ULFA, with a view to explore a lasting peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict, resolves to cease all forms of armed campaign for an indefinite period."
However, ULFA's elusive commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah and his band of followers, probably hiding somewhere along the Myanmar-China border, are still opposed to the peace talks.
