 JERAIGAON, April 3 – Separatist outfit ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Barua’s octogenarian mother Miliki Barua today exercised her franchise saying she had ‘voted for peace’ in the State, reports PTI. “Whichever party comes to power must work for peace in Asom... The new government must work for the greater interest of the State and there should not be incidents like in Kakopathar where innocent people were killed in police firing. There must be peace,” she told newsmen after casting her vote.

Barua, who was accompanied by her son Bikul, cast her vote at Chokolighoria polling station in Chabua town of Dibrugarh district.

The ULFA leader’s mother, however, declined to name the party or the candidate she and her family voted for.

In a clear departure from earlier elections, the seperatist ultra outfit did not call for a poll boycott this time and appealed to people to vote for politicians who will ensure that problems of the state are resolved and the issue of the state’s sovereignty is ensured.
