With the ULFA yet to withdraw its call for a boycott of the Guwahati National Games next month, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has said the government is still open to talks with the banned outfit but sovereignity cannot be negotiated. Gogoi, however, admitted that the ULFA had regrouped while indirect talks were on in the past and that the Centre was wrong in restarting talks.
Conceding that he was partly responsible since he was consulted before initiating talks, he said today: “We took the talks seriously and thought they would do the same.” The CM’s remarks came during a briefing on the Games.
