Ulfa buying Chinese arms, supplying to Maoists
A startling revelation by two top Ulfa leaders, now in police custody, has corroborated what Union home secretary G K Pillai had hinted
Ulfa 'foreign secretary' Sashadhar Choudhury and 'finance secretary' Chitrabon Hazarika have told cops that their 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah is not only procuring arms from Chinese manufacturers but is also selling them to terror outfits such as National Democratic Front of Boroland, National Libertaion Front of Tripura, All Tripura Tiger Force and Maoists.
On November 8, Pillai had said, "Chinese are big smugglers... suppliers of small arms. I am sure that the Maoists also get them." With Bangladesh mounting pressure on Ulfa, the banned outfit is desperately seeking shelter in China. Baruah has reportedly visited Yunnan province thrice in the past two years. Though China have not yet agreed to provide shelter to Baruah, weapons have been obtained from suppliers based in that country, they have told police.
