Imphal, December 06 2009:
Chairman of the proscribed United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Sanayaima today expressed appreciation to assertion of his counterpart arrested chairman of the ULFA Assam, Rajkhowa stating that his bold assertion has inspired not only to the peoples of Assam but also to the entire peoples of the north eastern region of the country.
In a statement signed by the chairman e-mailed to this correspondent, Sanayaima that Rajkhowa's bold assertion that he was not surrendered to the Indian government while reaffirming ULFA's stands not to hold talks with government of India "if the issue of Assam's sovereignty was not on the agenda," has given a new surge of inspiration not only to the patriotic peoples of Assam but also to the entire patriotic peoples of the region".
The news report of arrest of Rajkhowa by the Bangladesh government and subsequent hand-over to the Indian government must have excellently strengthened Bangladesh's relation with India at government level.
However, on the other spectrum, it has also deeply hurt the fraternal sentiments of the patriotic peoples of our region, the statement asserted.
"If we recall the fraternal help and support rendered by the peoples of Assam to the liberaiton war of Bangladesh, the wounded feelings and sentiments of the people of Assam would be much deeper.
We hope that this feeling in shared by the people of Bangladesh," Sanayaima said reaffirming UNLF's firm solidarity with ULFA and peoples of Assam as "fraternal people in arms".
