NDFB warns against attack on its men

KOKRAJHAR, Feb 18: National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) today warned the surrendered NDFB cadres and BRTF to stay away from attacking its members and said that it would resort to take retaliatory measures if further such incidents occur in near future.

Speaking to the Media at Habrubari Public Relation Office (PRO) of the NDFB today, Serfanguri General Head quarter of second Battalion of the outfit training officer R Daokha said that two NDFB cadres— Angustin Basumatary B Onfaor (32) of Oxiguri, Chirang and Suresh Basumatary (30) of Singimari, Kokrajhar were brutally tortured by a group of surrendered NDFB and BRTF men at Khagrabari under Kachugaon PS on Monday at around 2.30 pm while they were moving towards Bhaoraguri. He said the NDFB members were take away at gun point to their Kachugaon and Gamba camps.

R Daokha said that NDFB entered into ceasefire with Government of India with an aim to bring peaceful solution to their problems and in that case, the ex-BLT and other organizations should have co-operated but instead of doing so, they are always trying to derail the peace process. He said their cadres were attacked by SNDFB and BRTF in a cowardly manner.

Replying to a question, Daokha said that their cadres had no arms with them while they were being tortured but the attackers forcibly gave them arms to create drama. He also said that NDFB never used arms since it entered into ceasefire. We are monitoring the role of Government of India and Government of Asom as to how far are they sincere towards solutions of NDFB imbroglio,” The NDFB leader also warned the SNDFB and Ex-BLT to stop all kinds of attack on its cadres or it will take retaliatory measures.

Injured NDFB cadres— Angustin and Suren while interacting with the Media at RN Brahma Civil Hospital said they were on their way towards Bhalaguri in a wedding reception party while the surrendered NDFB and BRTF cadres stopped them and tortured inhumanly. They also alleged that the attackers threatened to shoot them but later handed them over to the Kachugaon police. source: the sentinel assam
