Arabinda Rajkhowa urges Narendra Modi to restart dialogue with ULFA

JAGIROAD (ASSAM): ULFA pro-talk faction chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa today appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take forward the peace talk process between the Centre and the insurgent outfit.

Rajkhowa, at a meeting with leaders and cadres of his overground faction in Morigaon district, urged Modi to restart the dialogue that was "kept in abeyance" for the last two months by the UPA government.

Rajkhowa congratulated Modi and hoped the BJP government would settle the ULFA issue permanently.

Asked about the extradition of Anup Chetia who is at the Kashimpur Jail in Bangladesh since 1997, he told reporters that the ULFA general secretary could join the talks if the central government took the initiative with the neighbouring country.
