A youth working for the banned United Liberation Front
of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) has reportedly been executed for trying to flee
their camp in Myanmar.
Questioning the killing by the prohibited militant organisation,
Assam Director General of Police Gyanendra Pratap Singh wrote on X, “You should
have allowed them to go home. Why should you kill them?”
The youth’s father said, “My son Abinash Kalita joined
ULFA-I on March 9, 2022. I was informed recently that he was killed while
attempting to flee the camp, thus, I urge ULFA-I Commander-in-Chief Paresh
Baruah to clarify his stand on the matter, if he is alive.”
Kalita was a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) player and in
2017, he participated in the 1st All India Open MMA Championship and scored
well.
Talking about the pathetic condition of the ULFA-I
camp, the father said, “There is a scarcity of food in the ULFA-I camps, the
cadres are fed meal twice daily ie, only in the morning and during the
afternoon hours. They don’t serve dinner. Due to this, many youths have died in
the camp.”
DGP Singh further stated, “Once again, same story.
They won’t change. Young friends from Assam, don’t waste your life for an
autocratic organisation. Your life has no value there. Please, please, please.”
Cititng father’s quote from a media report, Singh
wrote, “My question remains the same – Why waste your life for an ungrateful
tyrant.”
Earlier, ULFA-I killed two Assam residents. ULFA-I
said senior cadres identified as Lachit Hazarika alias Salim Ali and Barnali
Axom alias Nayanmoni Chetia were found guilty of violating norms.
“They were found guilty of committing 17 offences as
per the ULFA-I Constitution and the norms. Hence, the duo was given the death
sentence by our court on September 18,” they wrote. Both of them were
reportedly executed in Myanmar on September 20.
Assam DGP demanded from the organisation to share the
location of the bodies and assured that they’ll coordinate with “any government”
to bring the bodies back.
However, the dead bodies were neither sent back home
by ULFA-I nor could the security agencies find them.
As many as 181 cadres of insurgent group Dimasa
National Liberation Army (DNLA) surrendered arms in Dima Hasao district before
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on October 28.
Dr Himanta said almost all the insurgent groups have
surrendered arms and joined mainstream and (ULFA-I) will soon join the
mainstream.
