George Fernandes to meet ULFA leader today

New Delhi, Jan 9: NDA convenor and former Defence Minister George Fernandes today left for Guwahati to meet jailed ULFA leader Pradeep Gogoi in the wake of the attacks on Hindi speaking migrants, which have claimed at least 66 lives so far.

Party sources said Mr Fernandes decision to speak to the jailed ULFA leader was to convince him about the need to rein in his cadre as such attacks on poor innocent migrants were not in the national interest.
