ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah and the newly-appointed ‘chairman’ Abhijit Bormon of his faction have condoled the death of Jnanpith Award winning litterateur Indira (Mamoni) Roisam Goswami.
In a joint e-mail to the media, Mr. Baruah and Dr. Bormon said “Goswami would be remembered in history for correctly presenting ULFA’s goal, purpose and philosophy to Government of India.”
“ Baideu (Elder sister) has a special place in the heart of every ULFA member and we will remember her at every step of our movement,” they said.
As a mark of respect to the departed litterateur, they said, a condolence meeting would be held in every ULFA unit today and discussions on Ms. Goswami’s life and contributions to literature tomorrow.
Ms. Goswami had taken the initiative to be the peace facilitator between ULFA and government following which the banned insurgent outfit had constituted People’s Consultative Committee (PCG).
The committee held three rounds of talks with Centre with one of them being with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
