Second round of talks between Centre, ULFA today

The second round of talks between the Centre and United Liberation Front of Assam, ULFA will be held in New Delhi today.

A pro-talk ULFA delegation, led by its Chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, arrived in New Delhi yesterday to hold talks with the Centre to resolve the long-standing issues.

The delegation will meet Union Home Secretary RK Singh today to review the progress of the talks and to ensure that the process is expedited.

A senior ULFA leader told PTI that the discussion is likely to be held on the charter of demands already submitted to the Centre last year.

The pro-talk faction had submitted its charter of demands to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in August last year which was followed by the first round of talks with the Union Home Ministry in October.

The 12-point charter of demands, include constitutional amendments to give Assam greater control over its natural resources, revenue generation, participation in the planning process, ensuring a secure demographic situation, besides accelerated and balanced development.
