| [Bangla Daily Star] The Daily Star last night received an unsigned statement claimed to have been issued by a few organisations, which are carrying out insurgency in the Northeastern states of India. In the statement they expressed being hurt by the arrest of Ulfa Chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and other leaders of the organisation. In the statement, the claimed organisations, namely Manipur People's Liberation Front (MPLF), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), National Liberation Front of Twipra (NLFT), Tripura People's Democratic Front (TPDF) and United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa), have concluded that Rajkhowa was arrested in Bangladesh and as such they are hurt and disappointed. However, Bangladesh Home Minister Sahara Khatun earlier personally denied the Ulfa chairman's arrest in Bangladesh. "No, no! Certainly not!" It may be mentioned that the statement received through e-mail does not bear either the letterhead of any organisation or signature of anyone from the organisations. Claiming themselves as "liberation forces", the organisations said they would emphasis that they should not commit any such act that may be construed as open infringement upon the sovereignty of their neighbouring countries and hurt sentiments of the people concerned. |
