The Centre and the Assam governments are now working on convincing the banned extremist outfit United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) general secretary Anup Chetia alias Golap Baruah who is in prison in Bangladesh and another senior leader major Jivan Moran to join the proposed peace move involving the outfit’s leaders already in custody. Moran, who is looking after the Myanmar camp and is said to be close to outfit’s commander-in -chief Paresh Barua.<br/><br/>The step follows the arrests of ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, its foreign secretary Sasha Choudhury, finance secretary Chitrabon Hazarika and deputy commander-in-chief Raju Barua.<br/><br/>According to official Sources, the government had recently facilitated Chetia’s brother Suren Barua’s visit to Bangladesh through unofficial channels for a meeting with Chetia. On his return from Bangladesh the government had discussions with him and the indications are positive although Chetia’s jail term had expired, the ULFA leader is still lodged in a Dhaka prison.<br/><br/>An exclusive group involving senior security personnel, bureaucrats, retired intelligence and police officials were on the job to bring the two leaders over. The move has been prompted by Paresh Barua’s lack of interest, seriousness and flip-flop on peaceful resolution of the outfit’s genuine demands.
