Imphal, February 03 2014:
Asserting that the capital punishment awarded in absentia to ULFA leader Paresh Barua by Bangladesh court in connection with the 2004 Chittagong Arms case is null and void, United United National Liberation Front (UNLF) has accused Sheikh Hasina led Bangladesh Government of conspiring with Government of India in its Indian appeasement policy.
In a statement signed by its Senior Publicity Officer Ksh Yoiheiba, UNLF maintained the hasty and sub-judice action of the Sheikh Hasina led Bangladesh Government is in total disregard of the heart-touching history of the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war which was attained by Bangladeshi people with a hard-fought full scaled war under Mukti Bahini against the then notorious military junta; as well as a fascist action against the exploited and subjugated people of WESEA � Western Southeast Asia (which India called northeast) undergoing liberation struggle against the Indian rule.
"The Bangladesh Govt's action is the continuation of its Indian appeasement policy of taking action against the revolutionary parties of WESEA.
The Bangladesh Govt of a young, liberated and civilised nation must not forget the hospitality of the people of WESEA (Specially to those of Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura) who shared pains and hardships of the millions of Bangladeshi refugees with food, clothings and homestead, etc during those days of its liberation war," asserted, and added that the verdict has given shock and dismay to all the nations and peoples of the world struggling for their right to self determination; especially to the exploited and subjugated people of WESEA under Indian rule.
"ULFA condemns this unjust verdict and all the right thinking people of the world including the Bangladeshi people should condemn it.
UNLF pledges support and endorses the appeal of the ULFA (I) Chairman Abhijit Asom to the Bangladesh Govt to reconsider and withdraw the verdict.
The struggle for the right to self-determination of the WESEA is being acknowledged and sympathized all over the globe.
Getting its own freedom with the supreme sacrifice of many, amidst much blooodshed, Bangladesh Government must not support, and get influenced by the India which is subjugating the indigenous peoples of WESEA region," Yoiheiba added.
