OPERATION BY ARMY AGAINST ULFA
\n(Lok Sabha)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Three rounds of talks with People’s Consultative Group (PCG) set up by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) have been held. The Government had agreed favourably to consider the request of ULFA for release of five ULFA detenues in consultation with the Government of Assam provided ULFA made a formal approach to Government of India \/ Government of Assam for holding direct talks, nominated the delegation for these talks, indicated the time frame and abjured violence in all forms including extortions, notices, etc. Efforts with People’s Consultative Group representatives for holding these talks were continued even after three rounds through mutual initiatives. Government had also declared unilateral suspension of operations by Army against ULFA from 13 Aug 2006 to 20 Sep 2006 with a view to create a conducive atmosphere for holding peace talks. Since there was no direct response from ULFA and reports were received of regrouping, new raisings, violence and extortion by ULFA cadres, operations against ULFA have been resumed. <\/p>\n
The Government is open to talks with any militant group provided they shun violence. However, Government is duty bound to protect the lives and property of its citizens. <\/p>\n
