Guwahati, Dec 2 (UNI) ULFA chairman Auribindo Rajkhowa has been arrested by Bangladesh security forces from somewhere near Dhaka, Union Home Ministry sources confirmed today.
Along with him, National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT)chairman Biswmohan Devverma was also arrested.
The news was confirmed this morning and it came within a fortnight of the arrest of ULFA ‘foreign secretary’ Chitrabon Hazarika and ‘finance secretary’ Sashadhar Chaudhury.
Yesterday, Union Home minister P Chidambaram said in New Delhi that the Union Government was ready to start talks with the ULFA leaders without their elusive ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua.
Barua is opposed to the peace process while Rajkhowa is known to favour peace talks.
