New Delhi: According to sources, ULFA Chairman, Arabinda Rajkhowa, will “reach India soon” and talk to the government. Currently it is believed he is in Dhaka. Though governments of India and Bangladesh refused to comment on whether Rajkhowa had been arrested.
Rajkhowa’s willingness to talk was a direct result of the pressure India had brought to bear upon him over the past year. ULFA is a banned separatist group that has been seeking to establish a sovereign Assam.

Sheikh Hasina-led Bangladesh government, have been in hot pursuit of
Ulfa and jihadi groups targeting India, but operating out of
Bangladesh.
Sasha Choudhury and Chitrabon Hazarika, two other senior leaders of
ULFA are already in custody for the last month. Some key operatives of
LeT have also been picked in Bangladesh. Even Rajkhowa was pinned down in an operation on October 27, but managed to narrowly get away.
