Times of India | TNN | Jul 23, 2011, 03.01am IST
Confirming TOI reports on Ulfa enlisting the help of the PLA and a merger of NE militant groups in Myanmar, Gogoi said, "It is true that Paresh Baruah is taking help from Manipur's PLA now. I have been informed of this by central intelligence agencies. Security forces have been put on a high alert as the Ulfa-PLA joint operation is planning major strikes. There is threat to some of my ministers, but I don't want to name them."
Regarding the other TOI report on the Myanmar merger of NE militant outfits, including Ulfa, the chief minister expressed helplessness and said only the Centre was in a capacity to take any action since it was a trans-national matter. "Myanmar has become a hub and a base for northeastern militant outfits. But only the Centre can do anything about this problem," Gogoi said.
Security agencies have also received confirmed inputs of Baruah pushing in two heavily-armed groups into the state from Myanmar to create terror in the coming weeks; at least 50% of the cadres in both the groups are from the PLA. While one group entered Tinsukia district a few weeks ago, the other group entered Sivasagar through Mon district of Nagaland over the last weekend.
