GUWAHATI: Coming down heavily on BJP-led government in Assam, pro-talk United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), general secretary Anup Chetia warned that more Assamese youths will join ULFA, if the government did not withdraw the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016. He held the policies of the state and the centre responsible for Assamese youths coming out to join the banned organisation. Chetia stated that the youth of the state have been upset due to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and this is making them insecure over the future of the indigenous people of Assam.

Chetia also blamed the RSS and BJP for playing divisive politics in the state and urged Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to protect the rights and interests of the people of Assam before things got out of hand. The pro-talk leader also warned of unrest throughout the state if the indigenous people of Assam are neglected and the organisation was still capable to carry out a movement if the situation demands.
