Assuring the safety of top ULFA leaders if they opted for peace,
Speaking to reporters at a Holi get together, the governor said he would welcome any ULFA leader who expressed the desire to sit for negotiations.
He said the government would ensure the safety of the top ULFA leaders who were interested in talks.
'Sovereignty issue'
Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on March 13 had said the state government would extend all help to further negotiations between the Centre and the outfit.
Millika Barua, the mother of ULFA 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Barua had also favoured negotiations in an interview
with Gnanpith awardee Indira Goswami, who is acting as a mediator on the issue.
The only hurdle preventing ULFA from coming to the negotiating table, Goswami later told the media, was the "sovereignty issue". (PTI)
