talking about peace in assam

The overall ambience in Assam encourages for a kind of peace talks with the banned United Liberation Front of Asom. Whatever the final outcome emerges, the State gets ready for a settlement with the militant outfit. The interest may varies, but the government  to civil society groups and jailed ULFA leaders to common peoples, every one insists for the talks between the authority and the ULFA. 
Assembly election is knocking at the doors, so the two-time chief minister Tarun Gogoi wants to put extraordinary performances in front of the people.  The talks with the ULFA are expected to enhance his image at the end his second tenure.
The jailed ULFA leaders want their release as early as possible. The lives of those fugitives were comfortable while they used to live in foreign soil  and maintained their families with the extorted money from Assam. Once arrested, those ULFA leaders had experienced the harsh reality and realized that it would be ‘no easy task’ to come out of the custody of Indian machineries. And they could fairly understand that it might take many years to go back to their families.  
A section of civil society group leaders have tried their best to get the advantage of the situation and some of them even started talking the language of the ULFA. They keep their eyes open for the opportune moments to grab and extract benefits out of it.  And, last but not the least, the common people, fed up with so-called armed revolution want to get rid of the violence propagated by these armed outfits at the earliest.
