Home Minister Amit Shah shared the news, revealing that the Government of India and the Government of Assam have successfully concluded negotiations with the oldest insurgent group in the state. ULFA, long known for its tumultuous history, has now committed to renouncing violence, surrendering all arms and ammunition, and embracing the democratic process outlined by the law. Furthermore, the insurgent group has pledged to uphold the integrity of the country.
In response to the monumental achievement, PM Modi expressed his sentiments on the matter via a post on social media platform X. He remarked, “Today marks a significant milestone in Assam's journey towards peace and development. This agreement paves the way for lasting progress in Assam. I commend the efforts of all involved in this landmark achievement. Together, we move towards a future of unity, growth, and prosperity for all.”
The memorandum of settlement not only signifies a turning point in Assam's quest for peace but also underlines the commitment of both the state and central governments to fostering unity and development in the region. The agreement with ULFA is expected to have far-reaching implications, providing a platform for sustainable progress and inclusivity in Assam.
