GUWAHATI: Hours after the banned outfit United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) issued a warning, the Directorate General of Assam Police (DGP), GP Singh, declared the state police's unwavering commitment to eliminate the remnants of terrorism hindering the growth of the state.
In a statement on his personal X handle, the DGP emphasised that every member of Assam Police, the Army, and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) takes an oath under the tricolour to safeguard the country's integrity and sovereignty.
"We are committed to wipe out the remnants of terrorism that impedes growth of our state. And for that, if we have to sacrifice our life, we shall not hesitate, nor shall we waver from our determination to use full might of law against those who stand in path of our state’s growth, progress and development. Please stand warned – all such people involved in violent crimes, drug trafficking, terrorism etc," posted Singh on X.
The statement comes in response to ULFA-I's claim of responsibility for recent grenade blasts in Sivasagar and Tinsukia, along with a warning directed at DGP Singh. The banned militant group cautioned Singh against considering the state police as his "ancestral property" and threatened further attacks if he didn't alter his stance. The outfit cited the grenade attacks as a reaction to what they perceive as the DGP's arrogance.
"We would like the DGP to realise that in the future, the ULFA-I can conduct any kind of operation at any place if he does not stop considering the Assam Police as his ancestral property," the outfit stated in its warning.
