Amid the Central Government’s efforts to bring everlasting peace to the region and stiff opposition by Paresh Baruah led faction of ULFA for dialogues, the Bharat Army reportedly has launched drone attacks in the dense forest of Myanmar, targeting the camp belonging to outlawed outfit on January 7.
The Myanmar camp of the United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) is among many handling cross-border operations against Bharat, providing refuge and training to fresh recruits.
Paresh Baruah faction through media reports claimed the attacks have been initiated by the Indian Army at 4.10 am, 4.12 am and 4.20 am from Arunachal Pradesh’s border area. The first two were successful while the last one failed though injured two members of ULFA.
ULFA-I commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah continues to oppose peace dialogues with the Central Government and skipped recent historic tripartite peace pact by other factions with the Centre and Assam Government.
The group has been able to sustain partly due to backing by external factors such Northeast Bharat and Myanmar’s other insurgent outfits.
The ULFA(I) had taken responsibility of attacks in few parts of Upper Assam districts, challenging Bharat and Assam’s aim to achieve lasting peace and security in the region.
