Cong MP claims youths in Assam joining ULFA
The Congress MP claims that young ULFACs in Assam are joining Congress leader Guru Gogoi.
New Delhi: Congress Lok Sabha member Guru Gogoi on Wednesday expressed concern that he attributed the trend of Assam youth joining the rebel group ULFA mainly due to unemployment and blamed the government. He urged them to take immediate steps to stop it.
Citing Zero Hour, he said that while it helps them make easy money, it threatens their future and that of their families.
Gogoi said young people have been joining the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) for the past few years due to lack of employment opportunities.
He said the situation should be investigated and the center should send a team of intelligence and security experts to find a solution.
He warned that such trends should be checked in states that share international borders.
Gogoi said the hard-earned peace in the state should be maintained.
