ADVANI-ULFA http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=308691

GUWAHATI, JULY 5 (PTI) There should be no talks with ULFA until it abjures violence and gives up its demand that parleys with the Centre focus on the "sovereignty issue", BJP President L K Advani said today. "The ULFA has to give up its armed struggle if it wants to hold talks and also give up its sovereignty demand for Assam," he told reporters here. "People with weapons holding talks is not acceptable," the former Deputy Prime Minister said. "What about the sacrifices of freedom fighters during the Independence movement? Will they be forgotten?" he asked. Meanwhile, ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa issued a statement here last night warning Advani "not to indulge in communal politics in Assam where people are against communalism, casteism..." The statement also called Advani a "propogator of communal disharmony".
