Guwahati: ULFA has mourned the death of
Assam's cultural icon Bhupen Hazarika and its anti-talk
faction will ask all cadres to abjure violence as a mark of
respect.
"We are holding a special meeting to mourn the death
of our Dada (elder brother)," ULFA anti-talk faction chief
and commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah said in an e-mail here.
"Bhupen Da made immense contribution to our cultural
heritage and so we mourn his death," he said.
Without mentioning the venue of the condolence
meeting, Baruah said ULFA cadres observed a minute's silence
in the memory of the departed soul.
