> SONARI,
> Jan 9 – ULFA is now not in favour of solving problems of Assam through 
> militancy. “Militancy was not able to solve any problem in last 30 
> years. We want to solve the ethnic problems of Assam, so that a true 
> democratic atmosphere will prevail where every one will be free to speak
> up for the safety and security
> of Assamese people,” said ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, alias Rajib 
> Rajkonwar, while interacting with local mediapersons at his Lakwa 
> residence this afternoon.Rajkhowa
> said no one was above the people of Assam. “We are not going to 
> compromise on anything secretly. We have no desire for power, nor do we 
> have anything to do with election. We want to solve the problems of 
> Assam through dialogue with dignity,” said Rajkhowa.He said that extradition of Anup Chetia, general secretary of ULFA for holding general council meeting was not a condition, but the Government of India was requested to bring Chetia for the same.
> Reacting
> to a question whether ULFA gave up the demand for an independent Assam,
> Rajkhowa said, “We want dialogue without any pre-condition. We are not saying anything regarding giving up the demand. The general council will decide in this respect.”
> Rajkhowa said he and his compatriots were ready to face any action
> for Dhemaji blast or any other such unwarranted incident, but at the 
> same time the government must punish the culprits of secret killings of 
> Uma Gogoi’s family and Mithinga Daimari’s family and many others.He
> said he would not want to see another Dhemaji and hence he and his 
> organisation wanted a dignified solution to the problems of Assam. 
> Blaming the government for not responding to ULFA’s willingness for 
> dialogue with Indian government in the year 2005, he said now all the 
> people should come forward to solve the problems.
