Chetia to cooperate with peace process: ULFA vice chairman

Pradip Gogoi met Anup Chetia in a local court

 

ULFA's founding general secretary Anup Chetia, who was recently deported from Bangladesh, will "certainly cooperate" with the peace process, ULFA pro-talk faction vice chairman Pradip Gogoi said today.

Gogoi met his deported colleague in a local court where Chetia was produced after being brought here at the end of a transit remand taken by CBI in Delhi on November 11.

Asked if he talked with Chetia about the ongoing peace process with the government, Gogoi told reporters, "I could talk to him only briefly. He has not been able to learn about the peace process. Chetia will certainly cooperate".

Gogoi said the two leaders met after 20 years and were happy to see each other after such a long time.

"I inquired about his health. His mental state is the same as before. Of course there is an impact of age on him as is on all of us," he added.
