Prime Minister of India - Dr. Manmohan Singh

PM Condems 'ULFA' for killing innocent people

The PM has condemned ULFA for its role in the bomb blast at Dhemaji in Assam in which 19 people including 15 children were killed. In a statement he said :

"I am deeply distressed at the tragic killing of over 19 people including 15 children at the recent bomb blast in Dhemaji. The heartless killing of so many children by the ULFA is a clear indication of their lack of feelings for the people of Assam, even though they pretend to represent them. The people of Assam have expressed their revulsion at such actions by the ULFA and have exposed this group for what it is. Such criminal acts by such groups in Assam and elsewhere in the country are attempts to fracture the democratic edifice of India. I am confident that the people of India will firmly foil such pernicious efforts."
