Sonowal uses militants to kill rivals, says ULFA faction
Guwahati, March 25, 2016, DHNS:
BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Sarbananda Sonowal and its poll strategist Himanta Biswa Sarma are ‘politically oriented killers’ who used ULFA cadres to kill rivals during their student days, a faction of the militant outfit has claimed.
Arunodoi Asom, publicity secretary for the Paresh Baruah-led anti-talk faction ULFA (I), claimed in a statement that Sonowal had links with ULFA cadres when prominent student leader Sourav Bora was killed on May 27, 1986.
Under attack
“Sonowal was also helped by the ULFA in getting elected as president of the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU). The truth remains that these opportunist students’ leaders and proponents of regionalism had once used our colleagues to fulfil their interests,” the statement added.
ULFA (I) has also criticised Sonowal for his presence in the political rally of surrendered ULFA militant Bhaskar Sarma, the BJP candidate in Margaretha constituency against congress’ former industry minister Pradyut Bordoloi, who is said to have links with episodes of secret killings during the AGP regime where family members and sympathizers were killed under mysterious circumstances.
Similar accusations
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and family members of the slain leader have also made similar accusations about a week back. ULFA(I)’s claims could impact the BJP on the first phase of polling on April 4.
