Gohain clarifies stand on sovereignty

GUWAHATI, May 4: Chief convenor of the Sanmilita Jatiya Abhivartan
(SJA), Dr Hiren Gohain, today said: “I don’t support the demand for
sovereignty of Assam personally. The ULFA should reconsider the way of
solution to the problems for which the demand for sovereignty has been
raised.” Dr Gohain said this close on the heels of Chief Minister
Tarun Gogoi asking the intellectuals to clear their stand on the
ULFA’s demand for sovereignty of Assam.

Addressing a press conference here today, Dr Gohain said that after
independence the people of Assam felt that they were a deprived lot,
and when they failed to get their demands met through democratic
agitation, a section of them rebelled and raised the demand for
sovereignty for the State. “If the main loopholes in the system
responsible for such a situation are not identified and plugged
through discussion between the Centre and the rebel groups, the
situation in Assam may worsen. It is for this reason that the
Sanmilita Jatiya Abhivartan was held in Guwahati,” he said.

Dr Gohain also released the resolutions that were taken at the
conclave today. The draft resolutions were published by the media
earlier.

Some of the important resolutions are: “There should be talks between
the ULFA and the Centre without any preconditions so as to reach a
political solution to the ULFA problem, top jailed leaders of the ULFA
should be given free movement so that the outfit can reach a consensus
on talks with the government, all cases against the ULFA leaders
should be put on hold till talks with the rebel group is over etc.”
