Negotiate, CPI (M) tells ULFA, Centre

GUWAHATI: The Assam unit of the CPI (M) on Monday urged the Union Government and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to hold direct talks without any precondition.

State CPI (M) secretary Uddhab Barman and senior party leader Hemen Das told reporters that the party was of the view that the present deadlock came into being due to preconditions set by both. The party said both sides could discuss their conditions across the table once they sit for direct talks. It also urged the State Government to convene a meeting of all political parties and intellectuals towards evolving a consensus on the issue. The Centre called off unilateral truce on September 23 .
