PCG seeks PM's intervention in ULFA peace talks

Guwahati, Sep 3: The ULFA constituted group of negotiators, the People's Consultative Group (PCG), has decided to send a memorandum to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh seeking his intervention to break the present deadlock in the peace initiative.

PCG members Lachit Bardoloi and Arup Borbora in a statement issued here this evening informed that the PCG meeting held last night took a decision seeking intervention of the Prime Minister to facilitate freedom of five top jailed leaders of the ULFA 'as per decisions taken on June 22 meeting between the PCG and Centre's representatives'.

The PCG informed that release of these senior ULFA Central Committee leaders would lead to breaking of the deadlock in the peace initiatives that had been successful in facilitating temporary suspension of Army operation and restraint on part of the ULFA.

The two PCG coordinators litterateur Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami and Rebati Phukon would soon meet the Prime Minister to submit the letter from the PCG seeking his intervention in release of ULFA leaders from jail for the greater interests of the peace process.
