GUWAHATI: Ulfa has asked the Hindi-speaking people to leave Assam. Ulfa, in its mouthpiece ���Freedom��� has stated: ���We have appealed to the Hindi-speaking people to leave because of the conflict in Assam, which is against colonial India. However, colonial administrators and illegal occupation forces instigate the Hindi-speaking population to ignore our appeal.���
It added: ���We have also appealed to all concerned, whether Hindi-speaking or not, not to cooperate with the occupational forces to carry on oppression in Assam so as to ruin the national liberation struggle.���
Four militant outfits, including Ulfa, Kamotapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), Manipur People���s Liberation Front (MPLF) and Tripura People���s Democratic Front (TPDF) have called for a boycott of the Republic Day celebrations and a general strike on that day.
The statement further said that the BJP had no right to accuse the Ulfa of attacking the Hindi-speaking people while they had killed thousands of men and women in Gujarat and also during the Babri incident.
���The government has launched a military operation against the Ulfa under the pretext of ensuring the safety of the life and property of the Hindi-speaking people inhabiting Upper Assam. More than 20,000 troops have been deployed, including 13,000 army personnel, beginning January 9,��� it claimed.
The spokesman also added: ���Assam has a store of operational examples about Indian military offensive carried out with an aim to eliminate the Ulfa. Just before every operation, the Indian authority devises an atmosphere of unrest by organising planned massacre, blaming the Ulfa for this to initiate army offensive.���
���The innocent peace-loving masses of Assam have been witnessing such military offensive, blueprints of which have been long prepared. For the last few days, people of a certain section of the society have been holding Ulfa responsible for the attacks on Hindi-speaking people in Upper Assam,��� it added.
