“It is not the same Assam as it was when the ULFA was formed. Today, the state is fast moving on the path of development. There has been a change in the mindset of people and this change should reflect in the ULFA (I), too,” Sarma said at an event in Guwahati to celebrate the 74th Republic Day.

“ULFA (I) is the last mile in the path to peace. I am confident we will be able to reach there soon,” the CM said.
