BTR Chief Urges militant outfit to come to mainstream
Guwahati: BTR Chief Pramod Boro on Tuesday urged the KLO group to rejoin the mainstream in order to engage in peace negotiations.
When questioned about the murder of two KLO members and the capture of four more on Monday morning in Kokrajhar, Boro responded that creating an organisation by holding people to ransom is not the best method to advance social welfare.
He asserted that using weapons will not result in a solution and that militants should instead reintegrate society and devote themselves to its advancement.
It should be noted that two KLO rebels were killed on Monday after a shootout with police at Chakriyagaon in the Baokhungri Hills of the Chakrashila Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kokrajhar district. Three further cadres were also captured. Another rebel also sustained injuries when he was pursued and attacked by the populace.
The slain rebels were identified as Abhijit Deka of Routa, Udalguri, and Nipon Rai of Kashidoba in Bongaigaon.
The apprehended were identified as Amal Jyoti Biswas (24) of Borkula Bagicha under Kalaigaon PS in Udalguri district, Rananjay Laskar (27) of Ekorabari under Routa PS in Udalguri district, Pranjit Rai (26) of Bijaygaon under Basugaon PS in Chirang district.
The injured was identified as Ganesh Biswas (23) of Fakidiagaon under Routa PS in Udalguri district. A camp of the KLO rebels was also busted inside the Chakrachila Wildlife Sanctuary.
