Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi
today renewed his call to militant groups, including ULFA, to
come forward for talks to solve the state's vexed insurgency
problem.
"The ULFA and other insurgent groups should come
forward for talks and a conducive atmosphere has to be created
for which our government is ready," Gogoi told reporters here.
In the recently-convened meeting of chief ministers on
internal security, Gogoi said he had elaborated about the
state's insurgency problem and need to contain it.
He claimed that killings by militants in the state
have come down considerably since 2008 due to the sustained
efforts of his government and Union Home Minister P
Chidambaram had appreciated the role of Assam government for
this.
