Guwahati: The Assam police have launched an operation in which the state police are looking to identify the source of money for the prohibited organization, reports stated.
A linkman was among the four people the Assam police recently arrested in the previous week.
The reports further added that the prohibited organisation is in desperate need of money to carry out its activities throughout the state.
According to reports in the Charaideo district of the Assam police, the goal of the operation is to locate and shut down every source of revenue in the area (Charaideo) so that the ULFA(I) cannot use the money to fund its illegal activities.
Moreover, this will weaken the foundation of the outlawed group, making it easier to address its illegitimate goals.
The banned group also criticised the state government and the Center for “Operation Bajrang” in the late 1990s on their “protest day.”
In its release, the banned outfit states- “It is well-known that since 1826, the war-torn state has not only continued to make state terrors with the occupying forces to prevent the burning fire to restore Assam’s lost independence; Since its birth, with the effects of division within the organization, the use of psychological warfare and the recruitment of spies, the new strife continues.”
“A nation that has never described Udham Singh, Bhagat Singh or Subhas Chandra Bose as terrorists or extremists, but rather as the fighters of independence. Even after Nelson Mandela, the great hero of the South African Liberation Revolution, and Yasser Arafat, the leader of Palestine, have been described by the respective state systems as terrorists, India’s portrayal of them as freedom fighters is an unambiguous recognition of the armed liberation revolutionaries; On what logic, then, could the liberation revolution imposed by the “Samyukta Mukti Bahini, Assam [Swatantra]” for the sake of re-establishing Assam’s historical independence be a crime or criminalize the freedom revolutionaries? Our conflict or hatred is against slavery of subjugation and for the emancipation of the oppressed people of our homeland. So no matter what adjectives freedom revolutionaries are bestowed with; Protests, resistance struggles are inevitable for the just attainment of the homeland and in view of the disruption of collective interests,” the release added.
