ULFA targets BJP

The ULFA mouthpiece Swadhinata, in its recent issue, accused the BJP of inciting enmity between Hindus and Muslims and has asked the common people to remain alert against such 8220;divisive8221; and 8220;destructive8221; forces.

8220;We have been watching these activities of the BJP and its associate groups for the past few months, and would not hesitate in taking stern action against them especially in view of the unity of the people which is at stake,8221; the mouthpiece said.

The ULFA mouthpiece, which attributed one particular article to its central publicity department, also lashed out at the BJP for playing politics with the controversial Illegal Migrants Determination by Tribunals Act, and said it was an attempt by the BJP as well as other political parties to divide the people and weaken the ULFA8217;s struggle.

While the BJP, AGP and several other parties, barring the Congress and the United Minorities8217; Front, have been demanding scrapping of the IMDT Act in order to speed up the process of detection of illegal Bangladeshi migrants, the ULFA has opposed the move over the last few years.

The ULFA8217;s opposition to any attempt to disturb migrants has been attributed to the fact that several leaders of the group have been taking shelter in Bangladesh.

The ULFA has also said the activities of Ramakrishna Mission, Shankardev Niketan, Krishnaguru Sevashram and the Sankaradeva Kalakshetra go against the concept of secularism.
