SRINAGAR, Oct 14: Union Home Minister P Chidamabaram today said the Centre will hold talks with the banned ULFA only after it lays down arms and warned that otherwise security forces will take “appropriate action”.
“We will hold talks with ULFA only after they lay down their arms. If they do not lay down their arms, the security forces will take appropriate action,” he told reporters here.
His remarks reflect the government’s tough stance regarding the militant outfit which has been continuously engaged in subversive activities.
On January 1, Chidambaram, during a visit to Asom, had said security forces would deal “decisively” with banned outfits in the Northeast which threaten peace and integrity of India but felt talks could be held with ULFA if it gave up its sovereignty demand. PTI
