> ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Barua today said that he was not opposed to talks 
> but was against any diversion in the outfit's ideology.
> In an e-mail sent to the media in Guwahati, Barua claimed that the solution to 
> the Assam's problem had become more complicated with the "various uncalled for 
> statements" by Sanmilita Jatia Abhibartan's convenor Dr Hiren Gohain.
> Gohain, who along with other prominent intellectuals of the state decided to 
> help in the process of peace talks, had recently remarked that Barua alone 
> cannot decide the fate of the state and talks should proceed irrespective of 
> whether he comes for negotiations or not.
> Reacting to this, Barua said, "ULFA's struggle alone cannot decide the fate of 
> Assamese people. I am just a part of the struggle".
> "I am not opposed to talks. I am just against deviating from our ideology. Dr 
> Gohain is not aware of ULFA's history and long struggle for Assam's 
> sovereignty", he added.
> Dr Gohain's statement has helped the vested interests and has only further 
> complicated the process to resolve the problems facing the people of Assam, he 
> added.
> Gohain had said at the inauguration of the Abhibartan's Nalbari district unit on 
> Sunday "Barua cannot decide the fate of Assam. It is in the hands of the common 
> people and they alone can take a decision in this regard".
