The hardliner faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) led by C-in-C Paresh Baruah has confirmed that their bases and camps in Myanmar have been attacked by the Burmese Army.
In an email statement issued by the outfit’s Publicity Chief Arunodoy Dohotiya, the ULFA hardliners stated that the Army of Myanmar has not only attacked the ULFA camps but in the deep jungles but also bases of other North Eastern rebel outfits. Appealing to the people of Assam to extend support to the outfit, the press release also claimed that the Burmese Army has been aided with heavy arms and ammunition by India and that the gun fights would get severe.
Mentionable that, as published in Times of Assam earlier on June 16, it is believed that Indian Intelligence is trying to use modern satellite technology in its quest to hunt down Paresh Baruah, who is heading the hardliner group of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). Sources had informed Times of Assam that the Indian Intelligence with the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) has prepared a satellite map of Taka, a jungle area in the border of China-Myanmar where Paresh Baruah is presently believed to be hiding. The place is a convenient area for Baruah and his group as being close to China; on the hint of any danger can regularly alter their bases between Myanmar and China.
Few months ago, a 14-member Indian delegation led by Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary (North East), Ministry of Home Affairs and representatives from Manipur Government and official from the Government of Myanmar held a meeting at Kalewa, about 50 kms from Moreh, Myanmar. It is claimed that during this meet, the Indian Government pressurized and discussed with the Government of Myanmar to take immediate action against the ULFA camps in their soil. The satellite maps come handy for the Myanmar Army, who has been shooting down ULFA cadres since the 1980s.
The current all around attack of the Myanmar Army on ULFA will leave Paresh Baruah with no other option then to flee towards China and once in China, Baruah will be trapped completely as his entry and exit to Myanmar will become impossible.
