ULFA dismisses survey rejecting sovereignty

The ULFA today dismissed a survey by a group of relatives of its members that reported 95 per cent of people in nine districts of Assam had rejected its demand for sovereignty for the state.

"The so-called Assam Public Works comprising agents of RAW and IB functioned at the behest of the Indian machinery," ULFA chairman Arabindo Rajkhowa told media on phone here this evening.

Reacting to the "referendum" conducted by APW, a body of relatives of ULFA militants, said neither the APW nor the government had any right to hold such a survey and that a competent and impartial international body alone could carry out such an exercise.

The ULFA has insisted that sovereignty should be the core issue for any talks with the government.

Lachit Bordoloi, a member of the ULFA-nominated People's Consultative Group, also criticised the APW for publicising its survey.
