ULFA Leader Arrested

[BanglaBhoot]

To allow our territory to be used by RAW to kidnap and then exfiltrate suspects is a disgrace to our nation. Would India allow the DGFI the same courtesy and keep quiet? Certainly not. This bloody AL government has undermined our national integrity by allowing this illegal procedure.


This is a very obvious statement and requires an answer. By allowing RAW to carry out this kidnapping undermines the Bangladesh nations integrity.

Bangladesh's 'integrity' lies in helping INDIA.

Co-orperating to apprhend terrorists is not illegal brother..!!! I don't know whether the weakening of ULFA or the better co-orperation between india and bangaladesh that is upseting you.

Let it be .... No use debating with someone who openly supports terrorism.

Really heartening to see co-operation between BD and India against terrorism. Just shows BD is as vibrant a democracy as any other in the world and that law of land rules above anything else here. They have shown what few others are merely talking about --- Zero tolerance to terrorism of any form.

Did those who surrendered say they were Kidnapped by Indian Agents?

Our Police Minister Begum Sahara's explanation only added more quiz to the already zigzag news about the current fate of ULFA's Rajkhowa. Can someone straighten all the information for others to understand the truth? But, it seems BD govt is quite fishy about its role in his arrest. It is also very perplexing that when ULFA is claiming that he is still a free man, Indian govt has announced his arrest. So, what is the truth?

Its confusing like hell. Somehow, GoI is confident about his surrender (as GoI puts it). Wait and watch.

Let one thing be be clear to everyone. In indian vocabulary "co-operation" means shore up a stooge govt in BD and letting nefarious RAW running kidnap, exfiltrate and massacre operation inside Bangladesh. What is next, RAW to kidnap and then exfiltrate Bangladeshi citizens who oppose Indian interference, hat is not too far along with Hasina’s plan.

We will do whatever we want. I always thought RAW is an inefficient organization. But you BD and Pak people opened(?) my eyes. If RAW can do whatever they want without shedding their cover, they deserves all the credit. Well done RAW.

India lines up return gift of fugitives

New Delhi, Dec. 4: Bangladesh’s generosity in handing over leaders of the United Liberation Front of Asom springs from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s eagerness to see Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s assassins brought to justice, apart from her interest in smoothing relations with India.

Delhi is expected to return the favour to Dhaka by probably sending two persons wanted in the Mujib murder case who are lodged in Tihar jail, sources said. The duo’s identities are being kept under wraps though sources said their aliases could be Abud Mudib and Muslimuddin.

Mujib was assassinated by a group of junior army officers on August 15, 1975. After more than two decades, 12 of them were sentenced to death. Seven, however, escaped abroad and one of them is believed dead.

Two suspects are in India, having been arrested a few years ago for crimes committed here. “During interrogation it was found that they were also responsible for the murder of the Bangladeshi leader,” said a source.

“They (Dhaka) have been asking us to hand them over for some time now and India is considering it actively,” the source added.

If the duo are sent to Dhaka coinciding with Hasina’s upcoming visit, it will be an apt response from India to the handover of Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and other leaders of the militant outfit. The gift had been held back because the Bangladesh National Party led by Khaleda Zia, which was seen as protecting the killers of Mujib, was in power in Dhaka.

Besides returning the Ulfa leaders to India, Bangladesh has promised to send back Ranjan Daimary of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland and Jeevan Singh of the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation, active in north Bengal.

Rajkhowa today “surrendered” with Ulfa’s deputy commander-in-chief Raju Barua at the Dawki border checkpost in Meghalaya, the BSF said.

The border force later handed over the Ulfa leaders and their families to Assam police who took custody of the group of 10 and took them to Guwahati via Shillong under tight security.

Hours after the “surrender”, Ulfa commander-in-chief Paresh Barua appealed to Rajkhowa to make his “stand” clear, honouring the sacrifice made by 12,000 “martyrs” and the hopes and aspirations of the people of the state.

He claimed that Rajkhowa and Raju Barua, along with a few others, have been in the Indian government’s custody since December 2, which matches the unofficial version of the “surrender”.

The way you praise RAW in your posts, it is time that RAW sent you two precious gifts. One is year-end gift and the other is New year gift. Keep on worshipping your emloyer with devotion. No body will ever be able to prove its efficiency more than you genuinely do.

Again you have come up with a RAW worshipping theory in order to kill this thread.

Actually its other way around. exposing RAW activities made people aware what RAW was doing inside Bangladesh. Now people are experiencing nefarious RAW running kidnap, exfiltrate and massacre first hand. All the while awami stooges making it all possible. Reverse spin will only expose you further. As for RAW sending me gift, they are welcome if only they can get pass big bad uncle.

ULFA in complete disarray........

Two senior ULFA leaders surrender to Indian Army

Following the arrest of the United Liberation Front of Asom chief Arabinda Rajkhowa and nine others on Friday, two senior ULFA cadres who were trained in Myanmar surrendered to the Indian Army on Saturday at Thakurbari in Tezpur in north Assam.

An army spokesman informed that self-styled sergeant of the ULFA Angshuman Bora and another senior cadre Rinku Verma surrendered to the army on Saturday morning along with arms and ammunition.

'Well-planned’ operation brings about surrender of outfit chairman and deputy commander-in-chief

Highly placed sources in Dispur named three critical cogs in the wheel of the central plan to get the Ulfa to smoke the peace pipe — G.M. Srivastava, the recently appointed security adviser to the chief minister, additional DGP Khagen Sarma (special branch) and principal secretary (home and political) S.C. Das. The trio had recently tasted success by bringing the Dima Halam Daogah (Jewel) to the mainstream.

“Overall, there is Assam DGP Shankar Barua and chief secretary P.C. Sharma. But the trio is mostly working on ensuring that not only Ulfa but other insurgencies, too, are resolved peacefully and amicably. They also enjoy the backing of the political bosses. The police, home department and the CMO are working as a well-knit team,” a source said. The entire operation involves the Union home ministry, external affairs ministry, the Prime Minister’s Office and Dispur.

Things started moving with the Centre adopting a zero tolerance policy — as enunciated by Chidambaram — towards insurgency after the Mumbai terror attack and the appointment of G.K. Pillai, an experienced Northeast hand, as Union home secretary. Pillai, as then joint secretary in the home ministry looking after the Northeast, had been a key backroom player in the early negotiations with the NSCN (I-M).

In its move to neutralise Northeast militant outfits, particularly the Ulfa, the Centre started with diplomatic initiatives after the “pro-India” Sheikh Hasina regime took charge in Bangladesh. The move to get militant leaders operating out of that country to India paid dividends with the “push back” of Ulfa finance secretary Chitrabon Hazarika and foreign secretary Sasha Choudhury.

The Centre also put pressure on the NSCN factions not to give “too much leeway” to the Assam groups. Netting senior Ulfa leaders is part of the plan to help allow the outfit to hold its general council meeting in India. The council, according to Ulfa leaders incarcerated here, has the final say in matters such as holding talks.

The state government “complemented” the Centre’s efforts by launching coordinated and intensified counter-insurgency operations under the Unified Command, choking funds flow to the outfit, encouraging surrender and ceasefire, ensuring proper rehabilitation and initiating development in known militant strongholds that picked up during the tenure of former home commissioner Rajiv Kumar Bora. More importantly, Dispur, like the Centre, was unambiguous in denouncing militancy and terrorism. The Congress-led government and the Congress party spoke the same language as far as insurgent groups were concerned.

The government also handled the “real” news about Rajkhowa with unprecedented zeal and cautiousness. “Secrecy is the hallmark of the ongoing mission to get the Ulfa to the talks table,” a senior state government official said. “Earlier, attempts were scuttled by vested interests because different wings of the government spoke in different languages. We don’t want to repeat our mistakes,” a source said. “Going overboard with the catch or blowing one’s trumpet could backfire. Ulfa is no ordinary group. Public reaction can change any moment, particularly in the rural belt where there is still unemployment and the government’s delivery mechanism is less than satisfactory. It is, therefore, important to gauge the public mood and, even more important, manage it,” the source said.

Role of R&AW in Rajkhowa's arrest

It was neither a surrender nor any precursor to a major peace offer. Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and deputy commander-in-chief Raju Baruah, along with their families, were picked up by an alert Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) from Cox’s Bazaar in Chittagong on Wednesday while trying to cross over to Myanmar, apparently to escape the crackdown on Indian insurgent groups (IIGs) in Bangladesh.

The leaders went through a round of questioning by the R&AW officials in Chittagong itself, before being brought to the BSF’s post at Dawki, Meghalaya, on Thursday. They were subsequently also questioned by the BSF officials, before being handed over to the Assam police on Friday.

Careful not to let Rajkhowa and others slip out of Bangladesh, the R&AW team there mounted strict surveillance on them, trailing them all the way from Dhaka before intercepting them at Cox’s Bazaar in Chittagong on Wednesday. All of 10 persons were picked up, of which three are Ulfa members: Raju Baruah, Rajkhowa and his bodyguard Raju Bora. The others include Rajkhowa’s wife, son and daughter, Baruah’s wife and son and Shashadhar Choudhury’s wife and daughter.

Meanwhile, the R&AW has decided to go after Paresh Baruah, who it believes will be shifting base between Pakistan, China and Thailand in the days to come. Not only will the agency closely track his possible travel to Dhaka to lay hands on him, but India will also pursue Bangladesh for a crackdown on Baruah’s vast business interests there. While some of these ventures have been identified, his other investments across Bangladesh are still being tracked. All these will subsequently be frozen by the Bangladeshi authorities, thus shutting the tap, to some extent, on the finances that keep Baruah going.

No, Mr. Idune. People who are afraid of snakes, always think of snake. They see snake in every nook and corner. And when they see real snake they think it is unreal. So, there is no reason to see RAW as a snake. Naming RAW for every event in BD does not expose anything.

Better we write about RAW in the correct context. Uttering of RAW makes the Indians happy. They read this with a sense of pride in their mind. If RAW is our enemy, then why to glorify it by giving it unnecessary credit? Do not you think that BD Home minister's order is enough to arrest and expel any Indian rebel?

Was it necessary for RAW to be allowed to come? What do you think of our own security officials? When people unnecessarily praise RAW, it underminds the image of our own security system. Please try to understand.
